Jegs 8076 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions for 8076
2-Speed Heat Gun
750/1500 Watt, 110/120V AC

TOOL OPERATION

Start-up
Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power supply.
ON/OFF switch - Heat Setting 1:
A low heat setting may be required in certain cases, e.g. to avoid overheating the workpiece's surroundings or to avoid
displacing the workpiece if the airflow is too strong.
ON/OFF switch - Heat Setting 2:
A higher heat setting heats up the workpiece more quickly and enables the hot air gun to be held at a greater distance
from the workpiece.
Danger of fire and explosion!
Inflammable and poisonous gases may be produced when working with plastics, paints (especially older types of paint),
varnishes and similar materials.
The ideal temperature should first be ascertained by performing a test. You should therefore start with a low
temperature setting. The working temperature can vary depending on the properties of the workpiece. The distance
between the nozzle and workpiece is dependent on the material to be processed.

Removing paint/dissolving adhesives

Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly with the scraper.
Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint, making it more difficult to remove. Many adhesives (e.g.
stickers) become softer when heated, allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous adhesive to be
removed.

Removing paint from windows

Glass can break easily. Always use the glass protection nozzle. On profiled surfaces, paint can be removed using a
scraper and brushed of using a soft wire brush.

Shaping plastic webbing

Fit the reflector nozzle. To avoid kinking the tubing, fill the tubing with sand and seat at both ends. Heat the tubing
evenly by moving it from side to side.

Staining wood

Fit the Cone Nozzle. Hot air staining gives natural wood a rustic effect. Do not hold the nozzle too close to the wood as
this will color the wood unevenly. Carefully sand off any singed wood fibers afterwards using fine emery paper.

Shrink fitting

Fit the cone nozzle. Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece, e.g. cable lug,
Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.

Defrosting water pipes

Do not attempt to defrost-PVC piping:
Fit the reflector nozzle. Always heat the frozen area inwards from the edge to the center.
Note: Water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes. Copper pipes are joined using tin and should
therefore not be heated above 392°F.

Element

Take care with the heat gun element. Once the element is hot it can become fragile and break if dropped or knocked.
