OPERATION NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. INTENDED USE The unit is intended for the forming and welding of plastic, removal of paint and the warming of heat shrinkable tubing. It is also suitable for soldering and tinning, loosening of adhesive joints and the defrosting of water lines.

Switching on: To put into operation, slide the switch (3) to position I, II or III. Switching off: To switch off, slide the on/off switch (3) to the stop at position 0. After working for a longer time with high temperature, allow the unit to cool by running in the cold air setting I before switching off.

2. THERMO-PROTECTION SWITCH-OFF

When the heater is overloaded (e.g. as a result of restricted air flow), the unit switches it off automatically, however, the blower continues to run. When the unit has cooled to operating temperature, the heater is switched on again.

3. SETTING THE AIR FLOW AND

TEMPERATURE The switch (3) can be set to three blower steps. Suitable air flow and temperature combinations can be selected according to the applications. WX041 Step temperature Airflow I 50

C 500L/min The cold air setting I is suitable for cooling a warmed work piece or for the drying of paint. It is also suitable for cooling the unit before placing down or the changing of nozzles. The air setting II is suitable for Bending Plastic and heating shrinking plastic. The air setting III is suitable for stripping paint and defrosting pipes.

Temperature settings given in the application examples are suggested values that, depending on the material characteristics, can deviate. The distance between the nozzle and work piece is dependent on the material to be processed. The ideal temperature should first be ascertained by performing a test. Therefore, begin with a lower temperature setting. All application examples (except Removing Paint from Window Frames) can be performed without accessories. However, the use of the recommended accessory part simplifies the work and significantly improves the quality of the results. _ Be careful when changing the nozzle, danger of burning! Do not tough the hot nozzle. Allow the unit to cool. Wear protective gloves.

5. SCRAPER (See Fig. B)

The scraper is ideal for stripping paint from flat wooden surface and edges. Remember to clean the blade after use with wire wool and lightly oil before storing.

Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly using a spatula. Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint, making it more difficult to remove.

7. REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW

FRAMES Danger of glass breaking! Use of the glass protection nozzle is essential. On profiled surfaces, paint can be removed using a spatula and brushed off using a soft wire brush.Heat gun EN

Water lines often do not differ in appearance from gas lines. Gas lines are not to be heated under any circumstances. Place on the reflector nozzle. Heat the frozen zone always from the outside to the middle. Warm plastic pipes as well as connections between pipe pieces especially carefully to prevent damage.

9. SHRINK SEATING ELECTRICAL

CABLES Place on the reduction nozzle. Select the diameter of the heat-shrink tubing according to the work piece, for example, a cable lug. Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly. Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer when heated allowing adhesive bonds to be separated or superfluous adhesive to be removed.

10. WELDING PLASTICS

Place on the reduction nozzle and the welding shoe. The materials to be welded and the welding rod must be made of the same material (e.g. PVC with PVC). The seam must be clean and grease-free. Heat the welding seam until it becomes tacky. Please note that the temperature difference between the tacky and liquid state of a plastic is very small. Then feed in the welding rod and allow to run into the gap so that a uniform bead is produced.

11. BENDING PLASTIC TUBE (See Fig. C)

Choose the hook nozzle and fit over heat outlet. Turn the gun upside down and place on its clip stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with the nozzle pointing upwards, see picture. To avoid buckling or kinking the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at both ends. Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to required shape. MAINTENANCE Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK &

IRELAND ONLy) If you need to replace the fitted plug then follow the instructions below. IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code: Blue = Neutral Brown = Live As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with N. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with L.

WARNING: Never connect live or

neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved BS1363/A plug and the correct rated fuse.
