- loosening rusty/too tightly fastened metal screws,
nuts and bolts
- removing candle wax (do not overheat the
underlying surface)
- repairing broken candles/restoring bent candles to
their original shape
• Shrink fitting
0
- use reflector nozzle H or reduction nozzle J
- select a shrink-fit tube with a diameter matching that
of the workpiece
- heat the shrink-fit tube evenly
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
- shrink-wrapping
• Soldering water pipes
!
This tool is most suitable for working with soft solders
(melting point below 400°)
- use reflector nozzle H
- thoroughly clean both joining sections before
soldering
- pre-heat both sections and apply soldering wire
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
- de-soldering of integrated circuits and other electronic
components (use reduction nozzle J)
- releasing old soldered joints (use reduction nozzle J)
• Thawing out frozen water pipes
@
- use reflector nozzle H
- heat the frozen area evenly
! do no thaw out water pipes made of PVC
! water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from
gas pipes; heating gas pipes is extremely
dangerous – risk of explosion
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
- thawing out frozen car locks (use reduction nozzle J)
- defrosting freezers (do not damage the plastic
housing)
- thawing out ice-covered steps and pavements
• Shaping plastic tubes
- use reflector nozzle H
- fill the tube with sand and seal it at both ends, to
avoid kinking of the tube
- heat the tube evenly by moving it from side to side
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
- shaping all plastics with a low melting-point
(polyethylene, PVC etc.)
- shaping all plastics with a high melting-point (acrylic
glass, Plexiglas etc.)
- shaping and bending carpet tiles made of synthetic
fibres
- shaping and bending of wood (model-building)
• Welding plastics
- the weld seam must be clean and grease-free
- keep welding rod close to weld seam and apply heat,
until the welding rod gets tacky
- remove heat, when weld seam is filled up
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
- repairing of surfboards, skis and other synthetic
sports goods (use flat nozzle G)
- welding PVC-materials
- smoothening blisters after sticking PVC-labels
- connecting garden hoses (use reflector nozzle H)
• Drying
! only dry with a low temperature setting (position 1)
and with an increased distance between the tool
and the workpiece
- drying of paint, varnish, gypsum, mortar and plaster
- drying wet timber prior to filling
- drying thickly applied filler or adhesive quickly
- drying building joints before spraying insulation or
sealant
- drying joints and cracks in boatbuilding
• Cleaning/disinfecting
- disinfecting rabbit hutches, dove cotes, etc.
(remove your pet first)
- combatting ant colonies
- combatting woodworms and boring beetles (hold the
tool at an adequate distance from the wood)
- eliminating weeds
• Igniting
- igniting charcoal (barbecues)
- setting fire to wood (open fires)
MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
• Keep tool and cord clean (some household cleaning
products and solvents can damage plastic parts; these
products include among others benzine,
trichloroethelene, chloride, amonium)
• Disconnect the plug before cleaning
• Keep ventilation slots E
1
clean
• Never use easy inflammable liquids for cleaning the heat
gun in general and the air outlet/nozzle in particular
• Excessive sparking mostly indicates worn-out carbon
brushes
• In case of an electrical or mechanical defect, hand in
tool at one of the officially registered SKIL Service
Stations for repair (addresses are listed on the service
diagram supplied with the tool)
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
• Ensure to dispose of the tool according to the country-
specific regulations (inform yourself at your local
authorities)
• Sort tool, accessoires and packaging for environment-
friendly recycling
• Be aware of the fact that the plastic components are
labelled for categorized recycling
