NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
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 50 mm or more on any 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 (SEE FIG A)
1. SWITCHING ON/OFF
SWITCHING ON:
To put into operation, slide the on/off switch (5) to position I or II.
Switching off:
To switch off, slide the on/off switch (5) to the stop at position 0.
2. SETTING THE AIR FLOW AND TEMPERATURE (SEE FIG B)
The switch (5) can be set to two blower settings. Suitable airflow and temperature
combinations can be selected according to the applications.
I =50 - 600°C(120 - 1100°F), 300 L/min (8.1CFM)
II = 50 - 600°C(120 - 1100°F), 500L/min (13.5CFM)
The air setting I is suitable for Bending Plastic and heating-shrinking plastic.
The air setting II is suitable for stripping paint and defrosting pipes.
Temperature can be adjusted in increments of 10 °C (20°F) from 50°C (120°F) to 600°C
(1100°F) by pressing the temperature control button (12) on the LCD cover (11).
°F or °C can be selected by pressing°F / °C

Operating Instructions
3. NOZZLES SELECTION
The kit is supplied with 4 different shaped nozzles, which can be used as follows:
1) CONCENTRATION NOZZLE
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) FLAT NOZZLE
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.
3) GLASS PROTECTION NOZZLE
This nozzle deflects the heat away from glass or other fragile areas and back onto the
workpiece.
4) HOOK NOZZLE
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.
4. SHAVE HOOK
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
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. Select the scraper or shave
hook required. Hold the gun with the nozzle approximately 50 mm from the surface
of the paintwork and start with the lower heat setting. Move the heat gun 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.

Operating Instructions
6. 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 90º 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.
7. DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). 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.
8. SHRINK SEATING ELECTRICAL CABLES
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve
with a diameter matching that of the workpiece. Evenly heat the sleeve.
9. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over the wind pipe (1). Turn the gun upside down and place
on its clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with the nozzle pointing upwards.
To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at both ends.
Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to required shape.
WARNING!Protect hands from heat.
10. STAND SUPPORTER USE (SEE FIG C, D)
This gun can be used in stationary mode.
1. Firstly fold down the Stand supporter (6).
2. Set the gun onto a level, stable workbench. Be sure that the tool will not tip over.
3. Secure the power cord (8) to prevent entanglement or pulling the gun off the
workbench.
4. Turn the gun on by selecting the desired air flow.

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal
and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
1. If your heat gun will not operate, check the power at the power outlet.
2. If the outlet of the heat gun very hot, please rest until cold.
3. If a fault can not be rectified return the tool to an authorized dealer for repair.
