Stripping paint from window frames (see figure B)
The glass protection nozzle (6) must be used for this
u
application. There is a risk that the glass may break.
You can remove the paint from profiled surfaces with a suit-
able spatula and brush it off with a soft wire brush.
Thawing frozen water pipes (see figure C)
Before applying heat to the pipe, check it is in fact a
u
water pipe. Water pipes and gas pipes often look
identical from the outside. Gas pipes must under no cir-
cumstances be heated.
Attach the angle nozzle (7). Gradually heat the frozen points
of the pipe, starting at the outlet and moving back towards
the inlet.
Take great care when warming plastic pipes and pipe con-
nections to avoid causing damage.
Shaping plastic pipes (see figure D)
Attach the reflector nozzle (8). 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.
Killing weeds (see figure E)
Fit the reducing nozzle (9) (accessories). Select the highest
power setting. Aim the heat jet at the weeds. This will cause
the weeds to die off in the following days. It is not necessary
to completely burn the weeds.
Heat-shrinking (see figure F)
Attach the reflector nozzle (8). Choose the diameter of the
heat shrink plastic tube (10) suitable for the workpiece.
Evenly heat the heat shrink plastic tube until it fits closely
against the workpiece.
