1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a
qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those
appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and
that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live
(brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to
ensure that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm² section cable. If an extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
RECOMMENDED
FUSE RATING: 13AMP

Read instructions Wear eye protection Beware hot surfaces Wear protective gloves

4.1. Preparing the hot air gun for use
4.1.1. Before plugging into the mains ensure the gun switch is in the ‘Off’, middle position.
4.1.2. When ready to start work, set power switch to the required temperature setting I (low) or II (high). Allow one and a half minutes to
heat.
NOTE: When new, the hot air gun may generate smoke which will decrease with use.
 WARNING! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE NOZZLE AREA. IF LEAD PAINT IS BEING REMOVED FOLLOW THE
SAFETY WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION.
4.2. Paint and varnish removal
The easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple working techniques to achieve the required result.
NOTE: The heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex based paints and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains or primer
coats that have impregnated the surface.
4.2.1. Switch the hot air gun on and allow it to reach its operating temperature.
4.2.2. Always test on a small non-critical area first.
4.2.3. Hold the hot air gun nozzle 3” (75mm) to 4” (100mm) from the paint to be removed.
4.2.4. After a short time the paint will soften and begin to blister.
4.2.5. DO NOT overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn which makes it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially
when stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning at the beginning of this manual.
4.2.6. Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front of the
scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side.
4.2.7. If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick, even layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should be removed
in strips equal in width to the scraper blade). Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft, as it will re-harden very quickly.
4.2.8. Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp to prevent paint peelings from building up.
4.2.9. After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a wire brush.
4.2.10. To protect surrounding surfaces from the heat, cover with a non-flammable material.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT concentrate the heat gun on glass as the glass may crack.

1.3. LEAD PAINT WARNING! Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Paint particles, resulting from the removal of such
paint, are toxic and ingestion/inhalation must, therefore, be avoided. The following action must be taken before using this tool:
1.3.1. The operator must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
1.3.2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint
dust: Expectant women, babies and children.
1.3.3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items: Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey ref. SSP1699), PE Coated
Hooded Coverall (Sealey ref. SSP267), Latex Gloves (Sealey ref. SSP24).
1.3.4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes, and scrapings.
1.3.5. When task is complete continue to wear safety equipment as in 1.3.3. and thoroughly clean all areas. Ensure paint waste is disposed
of in sealed bags or containers.
 DO NOT use the hot air gun in rain or in a wet environment, or in areas of high humidity and damp (i.e. bathrooms, steam rooms, etc.).
 DO NOT obstruct the hot airflow by blocking or covering the air outlet.
 DO NOT touch the nozzle during, or after, use as it becomes extremely hot.
 DO NOT leave the hot air gun running unattended. Always turn off the power supply.
