Q
Changing the nozzle
Too much heat causes paints
and plastics to ignite.
CAUTION! Do not inhale the resulting vapours.
Protector nozzle 4 – for removing paint
and varnish (see Ill. B):
Place the protector nozzle 4 on the outlet
tube 3 .
The spatula shape of the nozzle ensures the air
is properly directed. Use a separate spatula for
removing paint or varnish.
Flat nozzle 5 – for detaching glues,
softening paint (see Ill. C):
Place the flat nozzle 5 on the outlet tube 3 .
Do not apply heat for too long a period, as
burnt paint becomes much more difficult to
remove. Many glues can be softened by warm-
ing. Glued connections can then be detached
and excess glue removed.
Reducing nozzle 6 – for welding plastic:
Place the reducer nozzle 6 on the
outlet tube 3 .
Use the reducing nozzle 6 for heat-shrinkable
sleeves and film.
Q Further examples of uses in
the house, car and garden

between gas pipes and water pipes. If in doubt, ask
a competent person.
Notice! Copper pipes are joined using tin solder
and must not be heated above 200 °C.
Loosening a threaded connection:
Heating the threaded connection carefully can
often allow the connection to be released.
Removing weeds:
The heat dries out the weeds and microorganisms.
Lighting barbecue charcoal (see Ill. E):
Do not use methylated alcohol.
Push the barbecue lighting nozzle 7 on to the
