Maintenance; Protecting The Environment - DeWalt D26411 Instruction Manual

• To prevent igniting the surface, do not keep the tool
directed at one spot too long.
• Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory, as it may
ignite. If necessary, carefully remove paint debris from the
scraper accessory using a knife.
1. Attach the appropriate accessory.
2. Turn the air temperature adjustment knob/ LCD air
temperature indicator and adjuster
3. Turn the tool on by selecting the desired air flow.
4. Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
Best results will be achieved if the heat gun is moved
slowly, but CONSTANTLY, from side to side to evenly
distribute heat. DO NOT LINGER OR PAUSE IN ONE SPOT.
5. When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a
hand scraper.
REMEMBER: Splinters and small particles of stripped paint
can be ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the
surface being stripped.
Stationary Use (Fig. A)
This tool can also be used in stationary mode.

Constant Heat Control
(overload protection)
When the tool is overloaded, this feature protects the
heating element from damage without stopping the tool
and/or without a cool down period
1. When the temperature gets too hot, the heating
element switches itself off. The motor will continue to
run and produce cold air.
2. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently (taking
only a few seconds) the heating element will switch
on automatically.
