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

o

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

shavehook and/or a soft wire brush.

WARNING: Glass can break

easily

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.

Shrink sealing 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.

Welding plastics

Choose the Concentrator or

Deflector nozzle and fit over heat

outlet. The materials being welded

together must be of exactly the

same type of plastic. The areas

being welded must be clean and

grease-free. Heat the seam until the

plastic becomes tacky, then apply

the other surface.

WARNING: Plastic can very

quickly change from being tacky

into becoming liquid. Beware of

burns from hot plastic. Do not

remove molten plastic from a

burn. Run under cold water and

seek medical advice.

Bending plastic tube

Choose the Hook nozzle and fit

over heat outlet. Turn the gun

upside down and place on it’s clip

stand so that it is resting on a

secure bench with the nozzle

pointing upwards; see picture

below. 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.
