5. REMOVING PAINT
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet.
Select the scraper or shave hook required. Hold the gun
with the nozzle approximately 50mm (2inch) from the
surface of the paintwork and start with the lower heat
setting move it slowly backwards and forwards until the
paint blisters and bubbles. Immediately remove the paint
with the scraper or shave hook. Aim to heat the paint just
ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a continu-
ous action. Do not heat the paint for too long, as this will
burn the paint making it difficult to remove.
Most stickers can also be removed from paintwork by
using the heat to soften the adhesive. Be careful not to
direct the heat for too long if you are trying just to remove
the stickers, as this will blister the paint.
6. 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 900 as you move to horizontal or vertical bead. Al-
low nozzle to cool before attempting to turn it. Paint can
be removed from profile surfaces by using a shave hook
and/or a soft wire brush.
WARNING: Glass can break easily.
7. 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.
8. SHRINK SEATING 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.
