2. It will be necessary to change the position of the protection nozzle as you
work around the window pane. Ensure you wear adequate hand
protection when doing so.
3. The protection nozzle must be kept in contact with the work at all times, but
do not spend too much time in one area.
GENERAL USE
To prevent the gun from overheating, maintain a minimum distance of 3 cm
between the end of the nozzle and the work piece.
FORMING AND WELDING PLASTIC PARTS
When bending or forming plastic parts, work slowly and with great care
observing the effects of heat on such materials.
NOTE:
With plastics, the temperature range between solid, pliable and
liquid states is narrow, therefore great care should be taken.
WOOD STAINING
Wood can be stained giving a ‘rustic’ effect.
1. Fit the diffuser nozzle to the front of the hot air gun.
2. Do not hold the nozzle too close to the wood as this may cause the wood
to colour unevenly.
3. Use a fine sandpaper to remove any singed wood fibres when finished.
HEAT SHRINK SLEEVE FITTING
Fit the concentrating nozzle to the front of the hot air gun.
1. Select a suitable size heat shrink sleeve for the work piece.
NOTE:
Heat the sleeve evenly.
THAWING WATER PIPES
The gun is ideal for speeding up the defrosting of water pipes.
1. Always heat frozen areas inwards from the edge to the centre.
2. Take special care when defrosting plastic pipes.
3. Provide protection against heat damage to nearby paint and wall
coverings where necessary.
4. Be aware that copper gas pipes can be difficult to distinguish from copper
water pipes. Always check first.
5. Copper pipes are often soldered together, therefore should not be heated
above 200
