Pipe defrosting
• This heat gun can be used to defrost frozen water pipes.
• Using the Reflector Nozzle (7), aim hot air at the frozen pipe. Move the heat gun along the pipe

or other finishes. Do not use the hot air gun/heat gun on any flammable material, or any material
that may produce hazardous fumes
