Attachment Nozzles (fig. 3)
1. The attachment nozzles are provided for specialised work as follows:
a) Surface Nozzle - Ideal for removing paint.
b) Deflector Nozzle - Protects adjacent surfaces
which should not be heated and/or are sensitive
to heat, eg. window panes.
c) Reflector Nozzle - Ideal for shaping plastics and
shrinking cables.
d) Spot Nozzle - For accurate spot work and soft
soldering.
2. Fit the nozzle over the main nozzle of the heat gun ensuring it fits
securely.
Tips for the Removal of Paint & Varnish
1. Test the heat gun on a small section of the workpiece before moving
onto a larger section.
2. Do not use the heat gun with chemical strippers or chemical stripping
agents.
3. Hold the nozzle at a distance of approximately 2-3/4" to 4" from the
paint being removed, until the paint starts to blister.
4. Initially, set the temperature to stage I and heat the workpiece carefully.
If more heat is required, start by reducing the distance between the
nozzle and workpiece before increasing the temperature to stage II.
5. Do not heat the paint for too long or it will burn and become more
difficult to remove.
6. Scrape the paint downward in even strips so the paint does not fall into
the heat gun.
7. Warm the area in front of the scraper evenly by moving the heat gun
from side to side.
8. The edges of the scraper should be cleaned often so that it remains
clean and sharp.
9. On profiled surfaces, the paint needs to be warmed and softened and
then removed using a wire brush.
10. Use a piece of non-flammable material to cover and protect all
surfaces that should not be heated.
11. Always use the deflector nozzle when working near windows.
