All application examples can be performed without accesso-
ries except for "Strip paint from window frames". However,
the use of recommended accessories simplifies the work and
significantly improves the quality of the result.
 Be careful when changing the nozzle! Do not touch the
hot nozzle. Allow the power tool to cool down and wear
protective gloves while changing the nozzle. Danger of
burning oneself on the hot nozzle.
Removing Varnish/Softening Adhesives (see figure A)
Fit the surface nozzle 5 (accessories). Briefly soften the paint
with hot air and remove it with a clean spatula. Long heat
exposure burns the paint and makes removal more difficult.
Many adhesives become soft when heated. Heated adhesives
allow for bonds to be separated or excessive adhesive to be
removed.
Strip paint from window frames (see figure B)
 Use of the glass protection nozzle 6 (accessory) is es-
sential. Danger of glass breaking.
Defrosting Water Pipes (see figure C)
 Before heating pipes, check to make sure that it is actu-
ally a water pipe. Water lines often do not differ in appear-
ance from gas lines. Gas lines are not to be heated under
any circumstances.
Place on the angle nozzle 7 (accessory). Heat the frozen zone
always from the outside to the middle.
Heat up plastic pipes as well as connections between pipe
pieces especially careful to prevent damage.
Shaping Plastic Tubing (see figure D)
Fit the reflector nozzle 8 (accessories). Fill plastic pipes with
sand and seal them on both sides to prevent the pipe bending.
Carefully and evenly heat the pipe by moving the tool back
and forth from one side to the other.
Eliminating weeds (see figure E)
Fit the reduction nozzle 9 (accessories). Select the highest
power setting. Aim the heat jet at the weeds. This will cause
the weeds to die off the in the following days. It is not neces-
sary to completely burn the weeds.
Shrinking (see figure F)
Fit the reflector nozzle 8 (accessories). Choose the diameter
of the heat shrink plastic tube 10 (accessories) suitable for
the workpiece. Evenly heat the heat shrink plastic tube until it
fits closely against the workpiece.
