SHAVE HOOK
Take the handle
from the set, re-
move the nut from
the end, fit the triangle blade in place by re-
fitting and tightening the nut. The triangular
shave hook is ideal for stripping paint from flat
wooden surface and edges.
Remember to clean the blade after use with
wirewool and lightly oil before storing.
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 approx-
imately 5 cm from the surface of the paintwork
and start with the lower heat set ting move it
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 paint-
work 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.
REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW FRAMES
Always use the glass protec-
tion 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.
COLORING WOOD
NOTE: When aplying heat to
natural wood this turns to a
rustic coloring.
Choose the deflector nozzle
and instal on air outlet. Place
the nozzle of the heat gun
over the workpiece, carefully not letting the
gun too long over the workpiece move it little
by little. By letting the nozzle too much on a
spot over the wood will uneven the coloring,
so be careful. Soon after with a fine sanding
paper start to sand the burned fibers on the
wood.
SHRINK SEATING ELECTRICAL CABLES
Choose the reflector nozzle
and fit over heat outlet. Se-
lect a heat-shrinkable sleeve
with a diameter matching
that of the workpiece. Even-
ly heat the sleeve.
DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Choose the Hook nozzle and
fit over the heat outlet. Al-
ways 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.
WELDING PLASTICS
Choose the Concentrator or Deflector nozzle
and fit over heat outlet. The materials being
welded together must be of exactly the same
type of plastic. The areas being welded must
be clean and grease-free. Heat the seam until the
plastic becomes tacky, then apply the other surface.
WARNING: Plastic can very quickly change
from being tacky into becoming liquid. Beware
of burns from hot plastic. Do not remove mol-
ten plastic from a burn. Run under cold water
and seek medical advice.
BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat out-
let. 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, see picture.
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.
