Removing paint from window frames

Always use the glass protection nozzle. Ensure you have the nozzle facing the correct way to deflect the heat away from the glass before you switch on. Rotate the gun or nozzle 90o as you move to horizontal or vertical bead. Allow nozzle to cool before attempting to turn it. Paint can be removed from profile surfaces by using a shavehook and/or a soft wire brush.

same type of plastic. The areas being welded must be clean and grease-free. Heat the seam until the plastic becomes tacky, then apply the other surface.

WARNING: Plastic can very quickly change from being tacky into becoming liquid. Beware of burns from hot plastic. Do not remove molten plastic from a burn. Run under cold water and seek medical advice.

Bending plastic tube

Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat outlet. Turn the gun upside down and place on it’s clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with the nozzle pointing upwards; see picture below. To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at both ends. Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to required shape.

WARNING: Protect hands from heat.

Choose the Hook nozzle and fit over heat outlet. Select a heat- shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece. Evenly heat the sleeve.
