OPERATION

1. Set up by clearing furniture from the work area.

Prepare for slight spillage, carpets and floors

must be protected. Roll carpets back or protect

with plastic sheet and dust sheet. Layout tools

required ready to start work.

2. Place steam stripper on floor or stable level work

surface near to the area to be stripped. Remove

the steam plate and lay out the steam hose and

power lead. DO NOT plug into power supply.

3. Remove the filler cap (see 11) and fill water tank

with clean hot or cold tap water to a maximum of

5cm (2") from top of tank. DO NOT over fill or

cover rubber safety valve located at the base of

the tank filling neck.

4. Replace the filler cap ensuring a correct fit.

NEVER force or attempt to over tighten the filler

cap (see 11).

5. Place the steam plate face up on the floor or work

surface which should be protected from

condensation when steam is first produced.

Alternatively place steam plate in a bucket or

large plastic container ready to collect water

which will have condensed from the steam in the

steam plate.

stripper will switch itself on automatically. Allow

the steam stripper to heat the water until it turns

to steam, 10 to 30 minutes.

7. When steady jets of steam are produced the

steam stripper is ready to use. Lift the steam

plate above the steam stripper this will allow

water condensed in the steam hose from the

steam to run back into the water tank.

8. Now begin stripping (see Stripping Technique).

Continue using the steam stripper until the steam

stops, about 60 to 80 minutes. When the steam

stops the steam stripper is ready to be refilled.

The steam stripper will switch off automatically

when a low water level is reached. Of course you

can stop when ever you wish, just disconnect

from the power supply to switch off.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
