Heat-shrinking (see figure A)
Attach the reflector nozzle (9). Choose the diameter of the
heat shrink plastic tube (10) suitable for the workpiece.
Evenly heat the heat shrink plastic tube until it fits closely
against the workpiece.
Removing varnish/loosening adhesives (see figure B)
Attach the surface nozzle (11). Briefly soften the varnish
with hot air and remove it with a clean spatula. Long heat ex-
posure burns the varnish and makes removal more difficult.
Many adhesives can be softened using heat. By heating ad-
hesives, you can break connections or remove excess adhes-
ive.
Thawing frozen water pipes (see figure C)
Before applying heat to the pipe, check it is in fact a
u
water pipe. Water pipes and gas pipes often look
identical from the outside. Gas pipes must under no cir-
cumstances be heated.
Attach the angle nozzle (12). Gradually heat the frozen
points of the pipe, starting at the outlet and moving back to-
wards the inlet.
Take great care when warming plastic pipes and pipe con-
nections to avoid causing damage.

Transport
The recommended lithium-ion batteries are subject to legis-
lation on the transport of dangerous goods. The user can
transport the batteries by road without further require-
ments.
When shipping by third parties (e.g.: by air transport or for-
warding agency), special requirements on packaging and la-
belling must be observed. For preparation of the item being
shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is re-
quired.
Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undam-
aged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the bat-
tery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging. Please also observe the possibility of more de-
tailed national regulations.
Disposal
Heat guns, rechargeable batteries, accessories
and packaging should be fed into environment-
ally friendly recycling.
Do not throw heat guns and rechargeable bat-
teries/non-rechargeable batteries in the do-
mestic waste.
Only for EU countries:
According to the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical
and electronic equipment and its transposition into national
law, heat guns that are no longer usable, and, according to
the Directive 2006/66/EC, defective or drained batteries
must be collected separately and disposed of in an environ-
mentally correct manner.
If disposed incorrectly, waste electrical and electronic
equipment may have harmful effects on the environment and
human health, due to the potential presence of hazardous
substances.

According to The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3113) (as amended) and the
