Warning! Too much heat causes paints and plastics to ignite.
Danger! Do not inhale the resulting vapours.
Reflector nozzle 5 – for shaping plastic pipes or tubes (see Ill. B):
jPlace the reflector nozzle 5 on the outlet tube 4 .
jFill the pipe or tube with sand and ensure it is closed at both ends. This will prevent the pipe or tube from kinking.
jWarm the pipe evenly, in that you move it back and forth.
Protector nozzle 6 – for removing paint and varnish (see Ill. C):

Flat nozzle 7 – for detaching glues, softening paint (see Ill. D):
jPlace the flat nozzle 7 on the outlet tube 4 .
jDo not apply heat for too long a period, as burnt paint becomes much more difficult to re- move. Many glues can be softened by warm- ing. Glued connections can then be detached and excess glue removed.
Reducing nozzle 8 – for welding plastic:
jPlace the reducer nozzle 8 on the outlet tube 4 .
jUse the reducing nozzle 8 for
