Over-exposing paint or lacquer to hot air can
burn it, making it difficult to remove. Use a
clean, sharp scraper.
When removing paint from glass surfaces,
use the heat gun with caution to avoid
cracking the glass!
Heat stickers and other forms of glue up to
soften them, before peeling or scraping off.
Shaping plastic pipes
Use the re�ector nozzle (8).
Fill the pipe with sand and seal both ends.
This will prevent it breaking.
Apply heat evenly by moving the gun from
side to side. Bend the pipe as required when
softened.
Shrinking
Use the re�ector nozzle (8).
Ensure diameter of shrink collar is large
enough for the item it is to be applied to.
Heat gently using the gun.
Thawing water pipes
Use the distributor nozzle (9).
NB! It is easy to confuse water pipes with gas
pipes. Never under any circumstances heat
gas pipes!
Always apply heat to the frozen spot from
the outside and work inwards.
Ensure the gun does not ignite any materials
around the pipe and remember that metal
pipes conduct heat.
Plastic pipes and sleeves must be heated
with particular care to avoid damage.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the heat gun with a slightly damp
cloth after use and always keep its surfaces
and vent holes (3) clean.
Never use corrosive or abrasive detergents,
as they may affect plastic parts.
Remove any debris from the tip using steel
wool and apply a thin layer of acid-free oil
after use to it once it has cooled completely.
