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
0 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
heat outlet. 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 SEATING ELECTRICAL
CABLES
Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat
outlet. Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve with
a diameter matching that of the workpiece.
Evenly heat the sleeve.
9. 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
molten plastic from a burn. Run under
cold water and seek medical advice.
10. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
(See Fig.6)
Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat
outlet. 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.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your
power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working
controls free of dust. Occasionally you may
see sparks through the ventilation slots.
This is normal and will not damage your
power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
