Switching on and off (fig. E)
• To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch to
position I. Some smoke may be emitted after
switching on; this does not indicate a problem.
• To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch to
position O. Let the tool cool down before moving
or storing it.
Stripping paint (fig. F)
• Mount an appropriate accessory.
• Set a high air temperature.
• Switch the tool on.
• Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
• When the paint softens, scrape the paint away
using a hand scraper.
• Do not strip metal window frames, as the
heat may be conducted onto the glass
and crack it.
• When stripping other window frames,
use the glass protection nozzle.
• Do not keep the tool directed at one
spot too long to prevent igniting the
surface.
• Avoid collecting paint on the scraper
accessory, as it may ignite. If necessary,
carefully remove paint debris from the
scraper accessory using a knife.
Stationary use (fig. G)
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
• Place the tool onto the workbench as shown.
• Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool off
the workbench.
• Carefully switch the tool on.
• Make sure that the nozzle always points
away from you and any bystanders.
• Make sure not to drop anything into the
nozzle.

Cooling down

The nozzle and accessory become very hot during
use. Let them cool down before attempting to move
or store the tool.
• To reduce the cooling time, switch the tool on at
the lowest air temperature setting and let in run
for a few minutes.
