OPERATING PROCEDURES
2. Hold the nozzle a minimum of 2" (50mm) from the painted surface.
3. Always begin at the lower heat setting.
4. Keep the gun moving from side to side or back and forth until the paint shows
blisters and bubbles. Immediately use the scraper and remove what paint
comes off easily.
5. Develop a continuous routine of following the application of heat with the
scraper.
6. Be careful not to burn the paint. This makes it more difficult to remove.
7. When working adjacent to glass, use the window nozzle to prevent cracking the
glass.
8. Clean the scraper blades after use.
THAWING PIPES
• Use the hook nozzle. Begin heating from one or another end of the frozen part
of the pipe, not from the middle.
• Do not attempt to thaw plastic pipes.
WARNING:
Be certain the pipe you are heating contains water. Gas pipes can
present a serious explosion hazard.
SHRINK TUBING
1. Use the hook nozzle
2. Use the lower heat setting
3. Move the heat gun back and forth along the shrink tubing, heating as evenly as
possible.
PLASTICS
• Plastics can change state quickly. Use a low heat setting and apply heat
gradually and evenly when welding or bending plastics.
• Be careful of burns from the molten material. Do not attempt to remove molten
plastic from a burn. Apply running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical help.
MAINTENANCE
• Keep the tool housing clean, free of oil, and grease using mild soap and a
damp (not wet) cloth. Do not let solvents like brake fluid, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, etc., contact plastic parts of the housing. Cleaning with these
substances can harm the plastic and compromise the integrity of the double
insulating system.
• Inspect the mounting screws regularly. They should be properly tightened. If
any are found loose, tighten them immediately or serious injury could result.
• Use care to see that the motor winding does not become damaged or wet with
oil or water.
• Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. A shot of compressed air is ideal. This
will help prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
• Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if
it is damaged.
• There are no user-serviceable parts in your Heat Gun. Warning: Do not
open the housing. This will void your warranty. An authorized repair centre
should do any repairs, modification, or maintenance that involve opening or
disassembling the tool.
• Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair centre.
