WINDOW NOZZLE & PAINT SCRAPER
WORKING EXAMPLES
REDUCTION NOZZLE
Shrink fitting
After fitting the reduction nozzle (4),
select the diameter of the heat-shrink
tubing according to the work piece, for
example, a spade connector. Heat the
heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.

Temperature settings given in the application examples
are suggested values that depending on the material
characteristics, can deviate. The distance between the
nozzle and work piece is dependent on the material to
be worked on.
The ideal temperature should first be ascertained by
performing a test. Therefore, begin with a lower
temperature setting.
All application examples (except B) can be performed
without accessories. However, the use of the
recommended accessory parts simplify the work and
significantly improve the quality of the results.
Be careful when changing the nozzle, danger of
burning!
Do not touch the hot nozzle. Allow the unit to cool.
Wear protective gloves.
SURFACE NOZZLE
Removing paint/softening Adhesives
Attach the surface nozzle (1). Soften
the paint using hot air and remove
using a scraper. Do not heat the paint
for too long since this will burn the
paint, making it more difficult to
remove. The scraper should be kept
sharp and clean.
Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer when
heated allowing adhesive bonds to be broken or
excess adhesive to be removed.
