time. To remove, unscrew
the brush cap located on
the side of the housing and

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Bending and Forming
Plastics
Experiment with a piece of
scrap material first to develop
a proper technique. Place
plastic piece into a proper
holding fixture. Wave hot air
along the whole length of the
“Bend” line until plastic soft-
ens along that area. Bend
plastic to desired position.
Removing Old Putty
When removing putty from a
broken window, carefully
remove the broken glass first.
When removing putty from an
undamaged window, direct
the hot air stream away from
the glass to prevent cracking
due to thermal shock. It is
convenient to shield the glass
from the hot air with a large
putty knife. Wave the hot air
stream at putty until softened.
Remove with putty knife.
Speed Drying Parts
Parts and other materials can
be speed dried by waving the
heated air stream over the
work until dried.
Stretching, Shaping and
Installing Vinyl
Direct hot air stream at vinyl
section and wave heat gun in
a back and forth motion.
Stretch and shape until wrin-
kles are removed. DO NOT
aim at glass.
Defrosting Frozen Coils or
Pipes
Direct hot air stream at frozen
part and wave back and forth
until part is defrosted or
thawed.
Loosening Nuts and Bolts
Direct hot air stream at nut or
bolt to be loosened for a short
period of time. Heating the
nut or bolt will cause the metal
to expand. Remove the air
stream from work piece.
Loosen nut or bolt with proper
wrench.
