* STAY ALERT! Always pay attention to the work at hand and use common sense when
operating this and all tools. Do not operate the tool when you are tired or taking
medication or drugs that may make you drowsy.
During removal, each of these finishes reacts differently to the heat as far as time
needed and how they appear when heated.
Latex may simply soften. Oil base paints will bubble or blister and may start to lift off
the wood. Pre-experimentation is recommended, so you do not scorch the wood
beneath by excess heat.
Choose a suitable scraper, turn on heat gun and allow it to reach full heating power.
Point the airflow at the work to be done, keeping the nozzle about 3" - 4" away. Allow
the paint to thoroughly soften, which makes removal easier. Move the nozzle slightly
from side to side. Do not overheat paint and always keep scraper clean for best results.
CAUTION: Lead paint fumes are harmful. Always provide adequate
ventilation while working indoors and wear an appropriate respirator
mask. Do not use paper or cloth dust masks.
Under high heat, floor tile adhesives will soften. Point heat gun to small area and lift tile
