APPLICATIONS

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of heat damage and personal injury, shield combustible materials and areas adjacent to workpiece. Protect yourself from hot paint scrapings and dust.

Removing Paint

Read safety instructions for removing paint before proceeding with paint removal.

1.Begin work with low temperature setting.

2.Place nozzle approximately 1" away from work surface.

3.Pass nozzle back and forth over a small area of workpiece.

4.Gradually increase heat until paint starts to blister, then remove heat.

Cutting Styrofoam

1.To attach the styrofoam cutting nozzle, first attach reduction nozzle Cat. No. 49-80-0305 to the heat gun (See “Installing Reduction Nozzles”). Attach the styrofoam nozzle to the reduction nozzle.

2.To cut styrofoam, use a low to medium temperature setting and apply heat to workpiece in desired pattern. The nozzle will make straight or curved cuts and will cut holes or recesses.

NOTE: Slight smoke and odors are normal and are not harmful as long as you are working with adequate ventilation. Cut at maximum speed to avoid excess smoke development and prevent the nozzle from overheating. Read the safety instructions supplied with the material you are cutting.

Soldering (Fig. 7)

5.Remove paint using a sharp-edged putty knife.

Creating Bends (Fig. 6)

Both variable temperature and dual temperature heat guns are ideal for creating bends in plexiglass that is used for guards and fixtures.

Fig. 6

1.To form a bend, use either a low or high temperature setting. When using a low temperature, hold the heat gun close to the workpiece and pass the nozzle back and forth slowly. When using a high temperature, hold the heat gun further away from the workpiece and pass the nozzle back and forth rapidly.

2.Pass the nozzle over entire length of the surface to be bent. Applying heat to only part of the surface will make bending uneven.

Fig. 7

1.Attach the soldering reflector nozzle or hook nozzle to the heat gun.

2.Deburr the pipe and joint using sandpaper or steel wool.

3.To solder with either lead or non-lead solder, coat the tip on both the copper pipe and the joint with flux. Then slip the joint over the pipe.

4.Slip the accessory nozzle around the joint. With the heat gun at a high temperature setting, apply heat to the joint.

5.When the flux bubbles, add solder and position heat gun so excess solder does not drip into the heat gun.

Heat Shrinking (Fig. 8)

1.Attach the soldering reflector nozzle or hook nozzle to the heat gun.

2.To heat shrink tubing, use a low temperature setting. Apply heat to the workpiece using a side to side motion until tubing has shrunk. Remove heat immediately.
