Warning! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.

TECHNICAL DATA

2000W WALLPAPER STRIPPER TTB419STM
Note: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
ASSEMBLY
Note: Remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
1. Attaching the steam plate hose (Fig 1)
Take care when attaching the connect pipe (5) to
the steam plate (7) and the unit as the threads are
plastic. Do not cross the threads,as this will cause
damage.
OPERATION & USE
1. Filling the water tank
Warning: There is a danger of scalding. You
must never attempt to remove the safety cap
while the unit is switched on or under pressure.
The tools and hose get hot during use. Allow the
tools to cool down before changing them while
the steamer is being used.
The water tank has a capacity of 4.5 liters. Fill the
tank as follows:
1. Check that the mains supply is disconnected.
2 .Unscrew the safety cap(2). (Fig 2)
3. Make sure that the water tank is on a stable flat
surface.
4. Pour water, preferably hot, into the water tank.
Distilled water is not necessary.
5. Fill the water tank to the MAX level (4) for the
longest steaming time. For a shorter steaming
time use less water, but do not fill to less than the
MIN level.
Warning: Do not overfill the water tank.
Fill to the MAX level (4). Never put descaling,
aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into
the water tank, as this may damage it or make it
unsafe for use.
6. Screw the safety cap back onto the water tank
and tighten by hand.
7. Connect the hose to the water tank by screwing
the captive nut on the hose in a clockwise direction
until it is tight.

2. Attaching the power lead (Fig 3)
Plug the adaptor end of the power lead into
socket (9). It is advisable to use a residual current
device(RCD) in conjunction with this unit.
Note: This unit will automatically begin the
boiling process when power is swithched on at
the mains socket.
3. Stripping
Warning: Just before steam is produced, a
small amount of bubbling hot water will be
emitted from the wallpaper stripper .
Typically it takes 10 minutes before full steam
is achieved . During this time the vapour hood
should be placed in a position where the water
and steam that is emitted does not cause any
damage.
Caution: Check the state of the plaster
before steaming. If the plaster is loose or
sounds hollow it may be damaged further by
steaming.
To achieve the fastest paper removal:
1. Gently score the areas to be stripped. (With
heavily embossed, vinyl coated or painted paper
this is essential).
2. Either use a proprietary perforator tool or
alternatively score the paper with the edge of a
wallpaper scraper in a criss-cross pattern with a
spacing of approximately 150mm (6”).
3. Hold the steam plate flat against the wall for
approximately 10 seconds. (Fig 4)
4. Move the steam plate to the area immediately
beside the one just steamed and use a
wallpaper scraper to remove the paper from
the steamed area.
Note: Working in this way allows continuous
wallpaper removal. For some types of paper, or
if there is more than one layer of paper, the time
may need to be extended. Always wear suitable
heat resistant gloves and a long sleeved top.
Beware of hot water accumulating in the steam
plate as this could cause burns if spilt. Do not
allow steam near or into electrical outlets or fi ttings.
5. Operate until the water level reaches the MIN
mark on the water tank, then unplug the water
tank and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes
before removing the fi ller cap.
Never use the steamer for more than 2 hours at
one time as this will cause the steamer to boil dry.

You must always work in a well ventilated area
and if you feel unwell due to the heat immediately
switch off and unplug the steamer and take a
break from the work until you feel better
4. Refilling the water tank while wallpaper
stripping
Should the need arise to refill the water tank with
water while wallpaper stripping:
1. Switch Off and unplug the power cable from
the mains supply socket.
Warning: Although the steam pressure in
the water tank has been released, the water
tank still contains very hot water. Do not attempt
to remove the safety cap until the water tank has
cooled down.
2. Wait at least 5 minutes for the water tank to
cool, then carefully start to unscrew the safety
cap. If you hear steam escaping, stop and wait
until the hissing sound stops.(Fig 5)
3. Carefully, continue to unscrew the safety
cap. If you hear steam escaping from the cap
immediately stop and allow a further 10 minutes
cooling before attempting to open.
4. Continue in this manner until the safety cap
can be removed. Take great care, as any residual
water is very hot.
5. Slowly fill the water tank with water using a
funnel..
6. Screw the safety cap back onto the steamer
and tighten by hand.
7. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into the mains socket
and switch on.
8. Continue with the instructions for switching
on.
9. When you have finished steam cleaning, switch
off and unplug the power cable from the mains
supply socket.
10. Allow the water tank and all accessories to
cool completely then empty any residual water.
Clean and dry the accessories and store in a dry
place.
SAFETY CUT-OUT
A safety cut-out is fitted to prevent overheating
of the element if the water boils low. If the water
Fig 5

tank stops boiling, this can be the cause.
1. Wait two minutes before removing the filler cap
then refill with water.
2. The cut-out will reset itself and steam will be
produced within 15 minutes.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry
