NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully,please always
wear overheating protection gloves.
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 (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.
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 longer time with high temperature, allow the unit to cool by running
in the cold air setting 1 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.
1 = 50°C , 500L/min
2 = 400 °C , 250L/min
3= 600°C , 500L/min
The cold air setting 1 is suitable for cooling a warmed work piece or for the drying of
paint. It is also suitable for cooling the unit before placing down or the changing of
nozzles.
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 AND SCRAPER
The kit is supplied with 4 different shaped nozzles and 1 scraper , which can be used as
follows:
1) CONCENTRATION NOZZLE (SEE FIG. A)
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) HOOK NOZZLE (SEE FIG. B)
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.
3) FLAT NOZZLE (SEE FIG. C)
This nozzle directs a long narrow heat pattern to the workpiece, and is ideal for
removing paint or varnish from large flat surfaces such as skirting boards, doors, stairs
etc. It should be used in conjunction with a flat scraper. Vinyl tiles can be removed by
softening the tile and adhesive.

Operating Instructions
4) GLASS PROTECTION NOZZLE (SEEFI.D)
This nozzle for deflecting air flow. On profiled surfaces, varnish can be removed using an
appropriately fitting spatula and brushed off with a soft wire brush.
5) SCRAPER (SEE FIG. E)
Take the handle from the set, remove the nut from the end, and fit the triangle blade in
place by refitting and tightening the nut. The triangular shave hook is ideal for stripping
paint from flat wooden surface and edges.
Remember to clean the blade after use with wire wool and lightly oil before storing.
5. REMOVING PAINT(SEE FIG. F)
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 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. WHEN NOT IN USE, JUST LET THE TOOL STAND AS SHOWN IN FIG.G.
7. 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°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.
8. 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.
9. 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.

or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
1. If your heat gun will not operate, check the power at the mains plug.
