[. . . ] The table below gives an indication of the likely heat settings required but always start with the low heat setting. All applications, with the exception of removing paint from window frames, can be performed without using a nozzle, however for best results nozzles are recommended. Low Suggested Ratings High Welding Plastic Heat shrinking plastic Bending Plastic Paint Stripping Removes vinyl floor tiles Soldering Defrosting Pipes Deflector Nozzle - G88 G88 G Directs a long, narrow heat pattern to the work surface. G Ideal for removing paint or varnish from large, flat surfaces such as skirting boards, doors, stairs, etc. Deflector Nozzle G It should be used in conjunction with a flat scraper. Removing Paint - General Do not heat the paint for too long as this will burn the paint, making it difficult to remove. 2. Hold the gun with nozzle approximately 50mm (2") from surface of paintwork. 3. Starting with the low heat setting, move the gun slowly backwards and forwards until the paint blisters and bubbles. 5. Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a continuous action. Concentrator Nozzle G84 G Directs a concentrated heat flow to the work surface. G Ideal for removing paint in awkward corners, crevices, mouldings, beading or architraves. Glass Protection Nozzle - G89 G Deflects the heat away from glass or other fragile areas. G Ideal for windowsills, ledges, frames, and skirting boards. G Nozzles The gun is supplied with 4 different shaped nozzles, which can be used as follows. G84 Lighting BBQs Concentrator Nozzle G89 Hook Nozzle - G87 Disperses the heat flow evenly around the whole work surface. G Ideal for defrosting frozen pipes, soldering pipe work, bending plastics or heat shrinking electrical parts. Glass Protection Nozzle G87 Maintenance Always allow the machine to cool down (before storing) and disconnect from the power supply. The heat gun should be cleaned before being stored away by wiping over with a clean damp cloth. Trouble Shooting If a problem occurs always switch off the unit immediately at the mains. If an extension cable is used it must be fully unwound and rated at least 10 amps capacity. Removing Paint from Window Frames WARNING ­ Glass can break easily when heated. 2. Ensure the nozzle is facing the correct way to deflect heat away from the glass before you switch on the heat gun. 3. Rotate the gun/nozzle 90º as you move to horizontal or vertical bead (take care it could be hot!).
