Maintenance - Rapid R1800 Bedienungsanleitung

simple working techniques are
described here. Test on a small area
of paint before moving on to larger
areas.
Turn on the tool and allow it to
reach working temperature. Hold
the nozzle 70 to 100 mm from the
paint to be removed. After a short
time the paint will soften and begin
to bubble. Do not overheat the
paint, as this will cause burning
and make the paint more difficult to
remove.
Begin scraping the paint off. Use
accessory scrapers. Scrape with
smooth, even strokes, warming the
surface in front of the scraper by
moving the tool slightly from side
to side. If paint is warmed properly,
even thick layers can be removed
in a single pass. Scrape the paint
as soon as it softens since it will
quickly harden again. Figure 6
Clean the edge of scraper blade
often.
Shaped or profiled surface can
be stripped with a wire brush after
softening with the hot air tool.
Protect surfaces NOT to be heated
with non flammable material, Figure
7. Never concentrate tool's heat
on a window panel or other glass
surface.
Note: The heat gun is designed to
remove both oil and latex-based
paints and varnishes. It will not re-
move stain or primer coat that have
impregnated the surface of wood.
