OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
shrink-wrapping
Soldering water pipes o
This tool is most suitable for working with soft solders
(melting point below 400°)
-use reector nozzle J
-thoroughly clean both joining sections before soldering
-pre-heat both sections and apply soldering wire (do
not use lead-based soldering wire)
Thawing out frozen water pipes p
-use reector nozzle J
-heat the frozen area evenly

from gas pipes; heating gas pipes is extremely
dangerous – risk of explosion
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
thawing out water pipes made of PVC (position II,
max. 60°C)
thawing out frozen car locks (position II, max. 60°C)
(use reduction nozzle )
defrosting freezers (do not damage the plastic
housing)
thawing out ice-covered steps and pavements
Shaping plastic tubes
-use reector nozzle J
-ll 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
bres
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 lled up
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
repairing of surfboards, skis and other synthetic sports
goods (use round nozzle H)
welding PVC-materials
smoothing blisters after sticking PVC-labels
connecting garden hoses (use reector nozzle J)
Drying
! only dry with a low or medium temperature setting
(position I or II) and with an increased distance
between the tool and the workpiece
-drying of paint, varnish, gypsum, mortar and plaster
-drying wet timber prior to lling
-drying thickly applied ller or adhesive quickly
-drying building joints before spraying insulation or
sealant
-drying joints and cracks in boatbuilding
Cleaning/disinfecting
-disinfecting rabbit hutches, dove cotes, etc. (remove
)
-combatting ant colonies
-combatting woodworms and boring beetles (hold the
tool at an adequate distance from the wood)
-eliminating weeds
APPLICATION ADVICE
Removing paint/lacquer r
-use a clean, sharp scraper
-scrape rmly, 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 ow 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 heat gun
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
removing (synthetic) wall covering
Removing paint/lacquer next to glass t
-always use glass protection nozzle G when working
next to glass
-remove the paint with a hand scraper
! do not use the tool for removing paint on metal-
framed windows; metal is heat-conducting which
might lead to breaking of the glass
Removing stickers (use round nozzle H) y
-many adhesives become softer when heated, allowing
adhesive bonds to be separated and superuous
adhesive to be removed
! heat sticker on the upper side
! always take care not to overheat the underlying
surface
OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
removing linoleum and vinyl carpeting
removing carpet tiles made of synthetic bres
removing veneers/applying veneer strips
softening/melting tar, tin, bitumen, wax (use round
nozzle H)
waxing (skis, furniture) (use glass protection nozzle
G) u
removing resin
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 tting i
-use reector nozzle J or reduction nozzle K
-select a shrink-t tube with a diameter matching that of
the workpiece
-heat the shrink-t tube evenly
