placing down or the changing of nozzles.
The air setting II is suitable for Bending Plastic
and heating shrinking plastic.
The air setting III is suitable for stripping paint
and defrosting pipes.
4. WORKING EXAMPLES
Temperature settings given in the application
examples are suggested values that,
depending on the material characteristics, can
deviate.The distance between the nozzle and
work piece is dependent on the material to be
processed.
The ideal temperature should first be
ascertained by performing a test.Therefore,
begin with a lower temperature setting.
All application examples (except Removing
Paint from Window Frames) can be
performed without accessories. However,
the use of the recommended accessory part
simplifies the work and significantly improves
the quality of the results.
- Be careful when changing the nozzle,
danger of burning! Do not tough the hot
nozzle. Allow the unit to cool. Wear protective
gloves.
5. SCRAPER (Fig B)
The scraper 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.
6. REMOVING PAINT
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the
heat outlet. Soften the paint using hot air and
remove evenly using a spatula. Do not heat
the paint for too long since this will burn the
paint, making it more difficult to remove.
7. REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW
FRAMES
Danger of glass breaking!
Use of the glass protection nozzle is essential.
On profiled surfaces, paint can be removed
using a spatula and brushed off using a soft
wire brush.
8. DEFROSTING FROZEN PIPES
Water lines often do not differ in
appearance from gas lines. Gas
lines are not to be heated under any
circumstances.
Place on the reflector nozzle. Heat the frozen
zone always from the outside to the middle.
Warm plastic pipes as well as connections
between pipe pieces especially carefully to
prevent damage.
9. SHRINK SEATING ELECTRICAL
CABLES
Place on the reduction nozzle. Select the
diameter of the heat-shrink tubing according
to the work piece, for example, a cable lug.
Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.
Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer
when heated allowing adhesive bonds to
be separated or superfluous adhesive to be
removed.
10. WELDING PLASTICS
Place on the reduction nozzle and the welding
shoe.The materials to be welded and the
welding rod must be made of the same
material (e.g. PVC with PVC).The seam must
be clean and grease-free. Heat the welding
seam until it becomes tacky. Please note that
the temperature difference between the tacky
and liquid state of a plastic is very small.Then
feed in the welding rod and allow to run into
the gap so that a uniform bead is produced.
11. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE (Fig C)
Choose the hook nozzle and fit over heat
outlet.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, see
picture.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.
MAINTENANCE
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
