REFLECTOR NOZZLE
This
nozzle
disperses
heat flow evenly around the
whole workpiece. It is ideal
for defrosting frozen pipes,
soldering pipe work, bending
plastics and heat-shrinking
electrical parts.
SHAVE HOOK
Take
the
handle
from the set, re-
move
the
nut
from the end, fit
the triangle blade in place by refitting and
tightening the nut. The triangular shave hook is
ideal for stripping paint from flat wooden sur-
face and edges.
Remember to clean the blade after use with
wire wool and lightly oil before storing.
REMOVING PAINT
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the
heat outlet. Select the scraper or shave hook
required. Hold the gun with the nozzle approxi-
mately 5 cm from the surface of the paint work
and start with the lower heat setting move it
slowly backwards and forwards until the paint
blisters and bubbles. Immediately remove the
paint with the scraper or shave hook.
Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper
so that you can develop a continuous action. Do
not heat the paint for too long, as this will burn
the paint making it difficult to remove.
Most stickers can also be removed from paint
work by using the heat to soften the adhesive.
Be careful not to direct the heat for too long if
you are trying just to remove the stickers, as this
will blister the paint.
REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW FRAMES
Always use the glass protec-
tion nozzle. Ensure you have
the nozzle facing the correct
way to deflect the heat away
from the glass before you
switch on.
Rotate the gun or nozzle 90˚ as you move to
horizontal or vertical bead. Allow nozzle to cool
before attempting to turn it.
Paint can be removed from profile surfaces by
using a shave hook and/or a soft wire brush.
WARNING: Glass can break easily.
COLORING WOOD
NOTE: When applying heat to
natural wood this turns to a
rustic coloring.
Choose the deflector nozzle
and instal on air outlet. Place
the nozzle of the heat gun
the
E N G L I S H •
over the workpiece, carefully not letting the
gun too long over the workpiece move it little
by little. By letting the nozzle too much on a
spot over the wood will uneven the coloring, so
be careful. Soon after with a fine sanding paper
start to sand the burned fibers on the wood.
SHRINK SEATING ELECTRI-
CAL CABLES
Choose the reflector nozzle
and fit over heat outlet. Select
a heat-shrinkable sleeve with
a diameter matching that of
the workpiece. Evenly heat
the sleeve.
DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Choose the Hook nozzle and
fit over the heat outlet. Al-
ways heat from one or other
end of the frozen portion, not
from the middle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to defrost PVC
pipes. Always check that it is a water pipe and
not a gas pipe. Do not heat a gas pipe.
WELDING PLASTICS
Choose the Concentrator or Deflector nozzle and
fit over heat outlet. The materials being welded
together must be of exactly the same type of plas-
tic. The areas being welded must be clean and
grease-free. Heat the seam until the plastic be-
comes tacky, then apply the other surface.
WARNING: Plastic can very quickly change
from being tacky into becoming liquid. Beware
of burns from hot plastic. Do not remove molten
plastic from a burn. Run under cold water and
seek medical advice.
BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat out-
let. Turn the gun upside down and place on its
clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench
with the nozzle pointing upwards, see picture.
To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the
tube with dry sand and seal at both ends. Heat
the tube evenly by moving from side to side and
bend to required shape.
WARNING: Protect hands from heat.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: REPLACE THE HEATING RESIS-
TANCE EVERY 500 HOURS OF USE, OR DEPEND-
ING THE USER'S WORK LOAD.
The product must be stored indoors and in dry
places, as this may affect its parts and its op-
eration. The power tool must be disconnected
before carrying out any maintenance and / or
cleaning of the equipment.
