OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
BEFORE USING THE TOOL
Before starting the job it is advisable to test the workpiece for the ideal temperature to use. The description 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 (2 inches) 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.
PUTTING INTO OPERATION
1. SWITCHING ON/OFF
Switching on:
To put into operation, slide the switch (5) to position 1, 2 or 3.
Switching off:
To switch off, slide the on/off switch (5) to the stop at position 0.
After working for a long time with a high temperature, allow the gun to cool by running in the lowest temperature setting
before switching off.
2. THERMO-PROTECTION SWITCH-OFF
When the heater is overloaded (e.g. as a result of restricted air flow), the unit switches it off automatically, however, the
blower continues to run. When the unit has cooled to operating temperature, the heater is switched on again.
3. SETTING THE AIR FLOW AND TEMPERATURE
The switch (5) can be set to three blower steps. Suitable air flow and temperature combinations can be selected
according to the applications.

The warm air setting 1 (70°) is suitable for the drying of paint. It is also suitable for cooling the unit before storage.
The air setting 2 is suitable for bending plastic and heating shrinking plastic.
The air setting 3 is suitable for stripping paint and defrosting pipes.
4. NOZZLES
The kit is supplied with 4 different shaped nozzles, which can be used as follows:
