OPERATING
NOTE: Before using the tool, read
the instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The unit is intended for the forming and
welding of plastic, removal of paint and
warming of heat-shrinkable tubing. It is also
suitable for soldering and tinning, loosening
of adhesive joints and the defrosting of
water lines.
1. HEAT SETTINGS:
The heat Gun has two settings:
1. Low heat - for use where the workpiece
or surroundings must not be allowed to
get too hot. Setting: 350
0
C.
2. High heat - For faster heat up time
of the workpiece where you can also
operate the gun at a greater distance.
Setting:550
0
C.
2. OPERATION
Before starting the job it is advisable to test
the workpiece for the ideal temperature to
use. The table below gives an indication of
the likely heat settings required but always
start with the low heat setting.
The distance between the nozzle and
the workpiece will vary according to the
material being worked on but this should
always be at least 50mm (2inch) or more on
either heat setting.
All applications, with the exception of
removing paint from the window frames,
can be performed without using a nozzle,
however for best results nozzles are
recommended.
3. SUGGESTED RATINGS
Paint Stripping High Setting
Defrosting Pipes High Setting
Bending Plastic Low Setting
Heat Shrinking Plastic Low Setting
4. NOZZLES
The heat gun can be used with 4 different
shaped nozzles which can be used as
follows:
1) Concentrator Nozzle (See Fig.1)
This nozzle directs a concentrated heat
flow to the workpiece. It is ideal for use
when removing paint in awkward corners,
crevices, mouldings, beading, architraves
or whenever precise paint removal is
required.
2) Flat Nozzle (See Fig.2)
This nozzle directs a long narrow heat
pattern to the work piece, and is ideal for
removing paint or varnish from large flat
surfaces such as skirting boards, doors,
stairs etc. It should be used in conjuntion
with a flat scraper. Viryl tiles can be
removed by softening the tile and adhesive.
3) Glass Protection Nozzle (See Fig.3)
This nozzle deflects the heat away from
glass or other fragile areas and back onto
the workpiece.
4) Hook Nozzle (See Fig.4)
This nozzle disperses the heat flow evenly
around the whole workpiece. It is ideal
for defrosting frozen pipes, soldering pipe
work, bending plastics and heat-shrinking
electrical parts.
5) Shave hook (See Fig.5)
Take the handle from the set, remove the
nut from the end, fit the triangle blade in
place by refitting and tightening the nut.
The triangular shave hook is ideal for
strippng paint from flat wooden surface and
edges.
Remember to clean the blade after use with
wirewool and lightly oil before storing.
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 50mm (2inch)
from the surface of the paintwork and
start with the lower heat setting move it
slowly backwards and forwards until the
