Heat Settings
The heat gun
has a variable
heat setting in
order to give
greater control
over the
working
temperature.
To adjust the heat setting move the
wheel at the back of the gun. The
five red lights on the left hand side
of the gun show the temperature
range selected.
To increase the temperature, move
the wheel up on the left hand side
of the gun, and to decrease the
temperature move the wheel down
on the left hand side of the gun.
The approximate temperature
setting is also shown on the dial at
the back of the gun.
OPERATION
Before starting the job it is
advisable to test the workpiece for
the ideal temperature to use. The
table below gives an indication of
the likely heat settings required but
always start with the low heat
setting.
The distance between the nozzle
and the workpiece will vary
according to the material being
worked on but this should always
be at least 50mm (2”).
All applications, with the exception
of removing paint from the window
frames, can be performed without
using a nozzle, however for best
results nozzles are recommended.

Nozzles
The kit is supplied with 4 different
shaped nozzles, which can be used
as follows.
Concentrator Nozzle
This nozzle directs
a concentrated
heat flow to the
workpiece. It is
ideal for use when
removing paint in
awkward corners,
crevices,
mouldings, beading, architrave’s or
whenever precise paint removal is
required.
Deflector Nozzle
This nozzle directs
a long narrow
heat pattern to the
workpiece, and is
ideal for removing
paint or varnish
from large flatsurfaces such as
skirting boards, doors, stairs etc. It
should be used in conjunction with
a flat scraper. Vinyl tiles can be
removed by softening the adhesive.
Glass Protection Nozzle
This nozzle
deflects the heat
away from glass
or other fragile
areas and back
onto the
workpiece.
