HEAT SETTINGS
The Heat Gun has two settings:
1.Low heat - for use where the
workpiece or surroundings must
not be allowed to get too hot.
Setting~350°C.
2.High heat - for faster heat up
time of the workpiece where you
can also operate the gun at a
greater distance.
Setting~600°C.
OPERATION
Before starting work it is
advisable to test the work surface
for the ideal temperature to use.
The table below gives an indication
of the likely heat settings required
but always start with the low heat
setting.
The distance between the nozzle
and the work surface will vary
according to the material being
worked on but this should always
be at least 50mm (2”) or more on
either heat setting.
All applications, with the exception
of removing paint from the window
frames, can be performed without
using a nozzle, however for best
results nozzles are recommended.

in awkward
corners,
crevices, mouldings, beading or
architraves.
Deflector Nozzle
• Directs a long,
narrow heat
pattern to the
work surface.
• Ideal for
