temperature setting by 10 °C or press (-) to lower the
temperature setting by 10 °C.
Keeping the temperature button pressed in will
increase or decrease the temperature setting by steps
of 10 °C. Release the button when you have reached the
required temperature setting.
- When the temperature setting is changed you will see
the character " on the display (5). This is the sign that
shows you the set temperature on the display (5). This
temperature has, however, not yet been reached. The
heat gun needs a short while to heat up to the set
temperature.
- After a few seconds the set temperature disappears and
the display (5) shows the actual temperature with a
flashing " sign to indicate that the correct temperature
has not yet been reached.
- As soon as the correct temperature has been reached
the " sign will stop flashing to show that the set and the
actual temperature are the same.
USE
Caution: When the machine is used for the first time a little
smoke can be caused. This is normal.
The drawings in these instructions for use show a number
of applications along with the temperature settings for
various materials. These temperatures are, however, only
guide values. The set temperature can be changed
depending on the material, the thickness and shape of the
object or the position of the heat gun. You must determine
the correct temperature by trial and error. So always start at
a temperature that is considerably lower than the
temperature mentioned in the examples.
Note the temperature when changing nozzles. Hot nozzles
must first be allowed to cool down!
With most activities there is a danger of harmful vapours
and fire. So keep the surroundings free of flammable
materials and ventilate the space in which you are working.
With dry weather do the work outside when possible.
Wear working gloves to prevent hot materials from
touching your hands.
For treating materials we refer to the product information
on the product packaging, information on the internet and
product information at your sales outlet.
• Removal of paint or adhesive (drawing A)
- Fit the flat nozzle (6).
- Make the paint or coating soft with hot air and remove
it with a clean and sharp stripping knife.
- Do not heat the paint for too long. Burned paints and
coatings are difficult to remove. In places where the
paint is firmly attached you can better use sandpaper or
a stripping compound rather than the heat gun.
- Heat the old coat of paint over a length of 10 cm,
remove the paint and continue.
- Adhesive from stickers or adhesive between joints
usually becomes soft when heated. You can then pull
stickers and adhesive joints off and remove the glue
residues.
• Removing paint or coatings at windows or profiles
(drawing B).
- Fit the flat nozzle (6).
- CAUTION: when working near windows there is the
possibility of glass breakage. So work extremely
carefully and prevent the heating of the glass by
screening it off with a sheet of metal, a wall tile or a
wide stripping knife.
- Immediately scrape off the still warm coat of paint with
a scraper and continue until the whole surface of the
wood is bare.
- Keep the scraper straight on to the wood and do not
use too much force. Any damage to the wood means
extra filling and sanding work later.
- Use the correct type of scraper on profiles. Damage to
profiles is difficult to repair later.
• Bending synthetic piping (drawing C).
- Fit the reflector nozzle (7).
- Prevent the pipe from folding by fully filling it with sand
and close off the ends.
- Heat the pipe by evenly moving it to and fro and bend
the pipe into the required position.
• Joining synthetic materials (drawing D).
• Joining synthetic materials is only possible if the two
parts and the welding wire are made of the same
material (for example: PVC to PVC with a PVC welding
wire)
- Synthetic joints are difficult to make. So first practice on
residual material.
- Fit the reducer nozzle (8).
- Place the two parts to be joined against each other.
- Make sure that the joint is clean and free of grease.
- Heat the seam until it is pliable. CAUTION: the
temperature difference between pliable and liquid
