PAINT STRIPPING.
When stripping a point next to glass it is necessary to protect the
glass from the heat. A glass protector nozzle is supplied and is
indicated as Nozzle B. (Pic.B).
CAUTION: THE INTERCHANGEABLE NOZZLE'S WILL
BECOME EXTREMELY HOT DURING USE AND YOU MUST
LET THEM COOL DOWN FULLY BEFORE TOUCHING
THEM.
Your heat gun is not suitable for stripping metal framed windows
because the conductive effect of the metal frames will cause the
glass to fracture.
Heat the paint to a point when it starts to soften. Do not linger in
one spot for too long as the surface may scorch or ignite. When
the paint softens scrape away the paint firmly, using a suitable
scraper in the direction of the grain of the wood. Experiment
to establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat to
obtain optimum results. Scrape the softened paint immediately
or it will harden again.
Do not allow paint debris to build up on the Heat Gun nozzle, it
could ignite. When scraping vertical surfaces, scrape downwards
to prevent debris from falling into the nozzle.
NOZZLE'S SUPPLIED WITH THE HEAT GUN (PIC.B)
Nozzle A
Suitable for directing heat onto selected areas without damaging
materials near-by
Nozzle B
For window frames where heat is required to be directed to the
wooden frame while protecting the glass
Nozzle C
This nozzle is particularly useful where a concentrated spot of
heat is required.
Nozzle D
This nozzle is curved to enable the heat to be directed around
difficult obstructions.
OTHER SUGGESTED USES FOR YOUR HEAT GUN
On low heat setting
1
Drying paint and varnish.
2
Removing stickers.
3
Waxing and de-waxing (eg Ski's).
4
Drying wet timber prior to filling.
5
Shrinking PVC wrapping and insulation tubes.
6
Thawing frozen pipes
WARNING!
Do not use on: PVC pipes, oil, fuel and gas lines.
When thawing frozen pipes observe the frozen pipe and if it
becomes distended or split in any way consult a plumber.
On high heat setting
1
Removal of paint and lacquers.
2
Soldering plumbing joints.
CLEANING THE HEAT GUN
Use only mild soap and a slightly damp cloth to clean the casing
of your heat gun. Many household cleaners may damage
the plastics used. NEVER attempt to clean the heat gun by
immersing it in water. A fatal electric shock will occur.
