High Performance hot air gun

A Removing paint/dissolving adhesives

Fit the flat nozzle.Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly using the spatula.Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint,making it more difficult to remove.

Many adhesive(e.g. stickers) become softer when heated,allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous adhesive to be removed.

B removing paint form windows

Glass can break easily.

Always use the glass protection noozle.

On profiled surfaces,paint can be removed using a spatula and brushed off using a soft Wire brush.

C Shaping plastic tubing

Fit the reflector nozzle.To aviod kinking the tubing,fill the tubing with sand and seal at both ends.Heat the tubing evenly by moving it from side to side.

D Staining wood

Fit the flat noozle.Hot air staining gives natural wood a rustic effect.Do not hold the nozzle too close to the wood as this will color the wood unevenly.Carefully grind off any singed wood fibres afterwards using fine emery paper.

E Shrink fitting

Fit the reducing nozzle.Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece ,e.g.cable lug .Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.

F Defrosting water pipes

Do not attempt to defrost PVC pingin. Fit the reflector nozzle.Always heat the frozen area inwards from the edge to the centre.

Note: Water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes.Copper pipes are joined using tin and should therefore not be heated above 200 Celsius degree.

Care and maintenance

Always disconnect the plug from the power socket before carrying out any work on the appliance.
