REMOVING PAINT - WINDOW
FRAMES
WARNING – Glass can break
easily when heated.
1. Use the glass protection nozzle.
2. Ensure the nozzle is facing the
correct way to deflect heat away
from the glass before you switch on
the heat gun.
3. Rotate the gun/nozzle 90º as you
move to horizontal or vertical bead.
4. Paint can be removed by using a
shavehook and/or a soft, wire
brush.
DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
WARNING – Do not attempt to
defrost PVC pipes. Always check
that it is a water pipe and not a
gas pipe. Never heat a gas pipe.
1. Choose the hook nozzle and fit
over the heat outlet.
2. Always heat from one or other
end of the frozen portion, not from
the middle.
SHRINK SEALING ELECTRICAL
CABLES
1. Choose the hook nozzle and fit
over the heat outlet.
2. Select a suitably sized, heat
shrinkable sleeve.
3. Evenly heat the sleeve over the
electrical cable.
WELDING PLASTICS
WARNING – Plastic can very
quickly change from being tacky
to becoming liquid. Beware of
burns from hot plastic. Do not
remove molten plastic from a
burn. Run under cold water and
seek medical advice.
1. Choose the concentrator or
deflector nozzle and fit over the
heat outlet.
2. The materials being welded must
be of exactly the same type of
plastic.
3. The areas being welded must be
clean and grease-free.
4. Heat the seam until the plastic
becomes tacky, then apply the
other surface.
BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
WARNING – Protect hands from
heat.
1. Choose the hook nozzle and fit
over heat outlet.
2. Turn the gun upside down and
place on its clip stand so it is
resting on a secure surface with the
nozzle pointing upwards (see
picture below).
3. To avoid buckling or kinking the
tube, fill the tube with dry sand and
seal at both ends.
4. Heat the tube evenly by moving
from side to side and bend to
required shape.
