APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of heat damage
and personal injury, shield com-
bustible materials and areas adjacent to work
-
piece. Protect yourself from hot paint scrapings
and dust.
Removing Paint
Read safety instructions for removing paint before
proceeding with paint removal.
1. Begin work with low temperature setting.
2. Place nozzle approximately 1" away from work
surface.
3. Pass nozzle back and forth over a small area of
workpiece.
4. Gradually increase heat until paint starts to blister,
then remove heat.
5. Remove paint using a sharp-edged putty knife.
Creating Bends
Both variable temperature and dual temperature heat
guns are ideal for creating bends in plexiglas that is
used for guards and fixtures.
1. To form a bend, use either a low or high tempera
-
ture setting. When using a low temperature, hold
the heat gun close to the workpiece and pass the
nozzle back and forth slowly. When using a high
temperature, hold the heat gun further away from
the workpiece and pass the nozzle back and
forth rapidly.
2. Pass the nozzle over entire length of the surface to
be bent. Applying heat to only part of the surface
will make bending uneven.
Soldering
1. Attach the air reduction or hook nozzle to the heat
gun.
2. De-burr the pipe and joint using sandpaper or steel
wool.
3. To solder with either lead or non-lead solder, coat
the tip on both the copper pipe and the joint with
flux. Then slip the joint over the pipe.
4. Slip the accessory nozzle around the joint. With
the heat gun at a high temperature setting, apply
heat to the joint.
5. When the flux bubbles, add solder and position
heat gun so excess solder does not drip into the
heat gun.
Heat Shrinking
1. Attach the air reduction or hook nozzle to the heat
gun.
2. To heat shrink tubing, use a low temperature set
-
ting. Apply heat to the workpiece using a side to
side motion until tubing has shrunk. Remove heat
immediately.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues
such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, electric shock and damage,
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside it.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
