H @ H 3 GB INTRODUCTION · This tool is intended for the removal of paint, the forming and welding of plastic, and the warming of heat-shrinkable tubing; the tool is also suitable for soldering and tinning, loosening adhesive joints and defrosting water pipes · Read this instruction manual carefully, before you use the tool, and pay special attention to the safety instructions; save this instruction manual and other documentation supplied with this tool for future reference TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 8000 Input Temperature Air flow Weight 1600W 300°/550° 250/500 l/min. [. . . ] mount an accessory only when the air outlet is cold, when the switch is in position "0" and when the plug is disconnected · Overload protection Protects heating element from damage when tool is overloaded without having to stop it and/or let it cool down for a period of time - when the temperature gets too high, the heating element switches itself off, while the motor continues to run and produces cold air - when the temperature has fallen down sufficiently (taking only a few seconds), the heating element will be switched on automatically APPLICATION ADVICE · Removing paint/lacquer 6 - use a clean, sharp scraper - scrape firmly, when the paint softens - experiment to establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat for optimal results - scrape the softened paint immediately, or it will harden again - keep a 30° to 40° angle between the tool and the workpiece - remove paint and debris immediately from the scraper to prevent them from ignition - scrape with the grain of the wood, wherever possible - do not direct the hot air stream towards the same surface for too long - dispose of all paint debris safely - thoroughly clean the work area after completing the job !be careful when removing layers of paint in old buildings; in the past the building may have been painted with paint containing lead, which is highly poisonous !exposure to even low levels of lead can cause serious brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable !have lead-based paint removed by a professional without using a heatgun OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE: - removing (synthetic) wall covering · Removing paint/lacquer next to glass 7 - always use glass protection nozzle F when working next to glass - remove the paint with a hand scraper !do not use the tool for removing paint on metalframed windows; metal is heat-conducting which might lead to breaking of the glass · Removing stickers (use flat nozzle G) 8 - many adhesives become softer when heated, allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous adhesive to be removed !always take care not to overheat the underlying surface OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: - removing linoleum and vinyl carpeting - removing carpet tiles made of synthetic fibres - removing veneers/applying veneer strips - softening/melting tar, tin, bitumen, wax (use flat nozzle G) - waxing (skis, furniture) (use flat nozzle G) 9 - removing resin 5 · · · · · - loosening rusty/too tightly fastened metal screws, nuts and bolts - removing candle wax (do not overheat the underlying surface) - repairing broken candles/restoring bent candles to their original shape Shrink fitting 0 - use reflector nozzle H or reduction nozzle J - select a shrink-fit tube with a diameter matching that of the workpiece - heat the shrink-fit tube evenly OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE: - shrink-wrapping Soldering water pipes !This tool is most suitable for working with soft solders (melting point below 400°) - use reflector nozzle H - thoroughly clean both joining sections before soldering - pre-heat both sections and apply soldering wire OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: - de-soldering of integrated circuits and other electronic components (use reduction nozzle J) - releasing old soldered joints (use reduction nozzle J) Thawing out frozen water pipes @ - use reflector nozzle H - heat the frozen area evenly !water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes; heating gas pipes is extremely dangerous ­ risk of explosion OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: - thawing out frozen car locks (use reduction nozzle J) - defrosting freezers (do not damage the plastic housing) - thawing out ice-covered steps and pavements Shaping plastic tubes - use reflector nozzle H - fill the tube with sand and seal it at both ends, to avoid kinking of the tube - heat the tube evenly by moving it from side to side OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: - shaping all plastics with a low melting-point (polyethylene, PVC etc. ) - shaping all plastics with a high melting-point (acrylic glass, Plexiglas etc. ) - shaping and bending carpet tiles made of synthetic fibres - shaping and bending of wood (model-building) Welding plastics - the weld seam must be clean and grease-free - keep welding rod close to weld seam and apply heat, until the welding rod gets tacky - remove heat, when weld seam is filled up OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: - repairing of surfboards, skis and other synthetic sports goods (use flat nozzle G) - welding PVC-materials - smoothening blisters after sticking PVC-labels - connecting garden hoses (use reflector nozzle H) · Drying !
