User manual KOMPERNASS PARKSIDE PHLP 2000-KH 3107 HOT AIR GUN

[. . . ] Before using the equipment, check the mains lead and plug for damage. Have any damaged parts repaired or replaced at a specialist repair centre. If the mains lead or plug is damaged, turn off the hot air gun immediately and don't use it again. The heat given out by the equipment can be transferred to flammable materials not in the immediate field of view. [. . . ] A damaged mains lead and any other damaged parts must be replaced with a special cable or replacement parts which can be obtained directly from the manufacturer or a specialist service centre. Do not allow liquids to get inside the hot air gun. Never use petrol, solvents or cleaners that might attack the plastic. 5 ADVICE ON WORKING METHODS, TIPS AND TRICKS Caution!Working with plastics, paints, varnishes and similar materials can give rise to flammable and poisonous gases. This applies particularly when removing old paint. Start off your work using a low temperature setting and test to find out the most suitable temperature. The appropriate distance from the nozzle to the workpiece depends on the material you are working on. Additional advice can be obtained from D. I. Y. or specialists shops and in specialist handicraft books. Removing varnishes, see Figure (A) For removing varnishes use the flat nozzle or the spatula nozzle . Soften the varnish evenly with hot air and lift it with a scraper. Make sure that the scraper is always sharp and clean. Do not apply heat for too long as this burns the varnish and makes removal more difficult. Where there is very little space in which to work, the thermal protective cover can be screwed off. Removing adhesives, stickers and adhesive residues Use the flat nozzle to remove adhesives. Many adhesives and stickers soften with the heat. The glued items can then be separated and any residual adhesive removed. Shaping plastic pipes Use the reflector nozzle for shaping plastic pipes. Avoid buckling the pipe by filling it with sand and sealing both ends. By moving the gun from side to side you will warm the pipe evenly. Use the cone nozzle for precise work, e. g. Unfreezing water pipes ­ Do not use for thawing PVC pipes. [. . . ] Keep any flammable materials and objects at an appropriate distance and for your own safety, wear protective glasses and clothing.
