OPERATION

INSTALLING SCRAPER NOZZLE

See Figure 4.

The scraper nozzle reduces the airflow from a circular area to a wide, narrow line. This nozzle can be used for removing paint, and for softening and forming acrylic sheets, vinyl floor tiles, linoleum, and laminate surfaces.

NOTE: Install or remove attachment only when both the heat gun nozzle and the scraper nozzle are cool.

REMOVING THE NOSE CONE

See Figure 5.

The nose cone helps to limit exposure to the extremely hot nozzle when the heat gun is in use. However, the nose cone can be removed to allow use of the heat gun in tight spaces.

NOTE: Always reinstall the nose cone when finished.

To remove:

nUnplug the heat gun.

nWith nozzle pointed away from you, rotate the nose cone slightly clockwise and remove.

WARNING:

The nozzle of the heat gun is extremely hot during use. It will stay hot for several minutes, depending on room temperature. Allow heat gun to cool before attempting to install or remove the nose cone to avoid possible serious personal injury.

To reinstall:

nUnplug the heat gun.

nSlide nose cone over the heat gun nozzle.

nSeat the nose cone against the body of the heat gun by aligning tabs on heat gun body to notches on base of nose cone.

nRotate the nose cone counterclockwise to secure.

USING THE HANGER

See Figure 6.

The heat gun has a hanger recessed into the support stand. To use, simply slide your finger into the opening underneath the hanger and flip the hanger out and away from the sup- port stand.
