The Vertical Resting Base (9) is not explicitly shown attached but is listed as a component.

Accessories

The following accessories are included or available:

• Reflector Nozzle: Suitable for defrosting (metal only) frozen pipes or bending plastics.
• Deflector Nozzle: Use to remove paint or varnish from large, flat surfaces such as skirting boards and doors.
• Scraper: Best suited for scraping already loosened paint from most surfaces.
• Concentrator Nozzle: Ideal for removing paint in awkward corners, crevices, mouldings, beading or architraves.

Working Positions & Operation

Working Positions:

• Attaching nozzles involves fitting them onto the heat outlet.
• The scraper (6) is used with the heat gun, often held by hand.
• The deflector nozzle (5) is shown being attached and used to direct airflow.
• The concentrator nozzle (7) is shown being attached and used, with a note indicating a 50mm distance from the surface.

Operation:

The heat gun has three temperature settings:

• Position 0: *0°C (Note: The temperature at position 0 will remain extremely hot after use until given time to cool. Place the Heat Gun on the Vertical Resting Base (9) after use to allow the gun to cool safely.)
• Position 1: 350°C
• Position 2: 550°C

Before Use - Paint Stripping

It is important to determine if the paint to be stripped contains lead. This can be done using a test kit or by a professional decorator.

• Do not smoke, eat, or drink in a work area that could be contaminated by lead. Lead-based paints should only be removed by a professional and not with a heat gun.
• Take care not to burn the paint, as this could cause a fire. Direct the hot air at the working area to heat the paint.
• Keep the nozzle at least 50 mm from the surface.
• When the paint softens, remove it using the paint scraper attachment (6). Do not allow it to burn.
• Scrape the softened paint immediately or it will harden again.
• Scrape with the grain of the wood wherever possible.
• Do not allow paint and debris to collect on the scraper.
• When scraping from a vertical position, scrape downwards to prevent paint from falling back into the nozzle.
• When stripping paint near glass, take measures to protect the glass from heat.
• IMPORTANT: Use the Deflector Nozzle (5) when stripping paint from metal or wood-framed windows.
• Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure the work area is thoroughly clean after use.
• Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle, as it could ignite after some time.
