TRUCTIONS
5. REMOVING PAINT
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. Select the scraper
or shave hook required. Hold the gun with the nozzle approximately 2’’ (5
cm) from the surface of the paintwork and start with the lower heat setting.
Move the heat gun slowly backwards and forwards until the paint blisters
and bubbles. Immediately remove the paint with the scraper or shave hook.
Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a
continuous action. Do not heat the paint for too long as this will burn the
paint, making it difficult to remove.
Most stickers can also be removed from paintwork by using the heat to
soften the adhesive. Be careful not to direct the heat for too long if you are
trying just to remove the stickers as this will blister the paint.
6. REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW FRAMES
Always use the glass protection nozzle. Ensure you have the nozzle facing
the correct way to deflect the heat away from the glass before you switch
on. Rotate the gun or nozzle 90
°
as you move to horizontal or vertical bead.
Allow nozzle to cool before attempting to turn it. Paint can be removed
from profile surfaces by using a shave hook and/or a soft wire brush.
WARNING: Glass can break easily.
7. DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Always heat from one
or other end of the frozen portion, not from the middle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to defrost PVC pipes. Always check that it is a
water pipe and not a gas pipe. Do not heat a gas pipe.
8. SHRINK SEALING ELECTRICAL CABLES
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Select a heat-
shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece. Evenly
heat the sleeve.
9. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Turn the gun upside
down and place on its clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with
the nozzle pointing upwards.
To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at
both ends. Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to
required shape.
WARNING!
Protect hands from heat.
