Earlex HG 1600K Heat Gun User Manual


 
Hook Nozzle
This nozzle
disperses the
heat flow
evenly around
the whole
workpiece. It is
ideal for
defrosting
frozen pipes, soldering pipe work,
bending plastics and heat-shrinking
electrical parts.
Shavehooks
Select the required blade from the
set. Take the wooden shafted
handle from the set, remove the nut
from the end, fit the required blade
then fix in place by refitting and
tightening the nut.
Use the triangular shavehook for
stripping paint from flat wooden
surfaces and edges, use the
combination, heart shavehooks for
mouldings in convex or concave
profiles.
Remember to
clean the
blade after use
with wirewool
and lightly oil
before storing.
Removing Paint
Choose the required nozzle and fit
onto the heat outlet. Select the
scraper or shavehook required.
Hold the gun with the nozzle
approximately 50mm (2”) from the
surface of the paintwork and
starting with the lower heat setting
move it slowly backwards and
forwards until the paint blisters and
bubbles. Immediately remove the
paint with the scraper or
shavehook. Aim to heat the paint
just ahead of the scraper so that
you can develop a continuous
action. Do not heat the paint for too
long, as this will burn the paint
making it difficult to remove.
Most stickers can also be removed
from paintwork by using the heat to
soften the adhesive. Be careful not
to direct the heat for too long if you
are trying just to remove the
stickers, as this will blister the paint.
