CauTIOn! Do not inhale the resulting vapours.

Reflector nozzle 4 – for shaping plastic pipes or tubes (see Ill. B):

jPlace the reflector nozzle 4 on the outlet tube 3 .

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 5 – for removing paint and varnish (see Ill. C):

jPlace the protector nozzle 5 on the outlet tube 3 .

jThe spatula shape of the nozzle ensures the air is properly directed. Use a separate spatula for removing paint or varnish.

Flat nozzle 6 – for detaching glues, softening paint (see Ill. D):

jPlace the flat nozzle 6 on the outlet tube 3 .

jPlace the reducer nozzle 7 on the outlet tube 3 .

jUse the reducing nozzle 7 for heat-shrinkable sleeves and film.
