• Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.

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.

Cooling down

The nozzle and accessory become very hot during

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.
