BEFORE USE -PLEASE READ THE SAFETY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Please retain for future reference Please register your product at ! SAFETY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ BEFORE USE DO NOT ! Touch the nozzle. ! Change/rotate the nozzle while the unit is turned on. ! Leave the heat gun unattended when it is switched on. ! Allow children to operate or play with the heat gun. ! Carry the heat gun by the mains cable. ! Allow heat to be directed onto the mains cable. ! Use the heat gun as a hair dryer. ! Restrict air flow from the nozzle outlet or fan inlets. ! Allow the heat gun to become damp or be operated in damp conditions. ! Use the heat gun close to inflammable materials because heat may be conducted to combustible materials which are out of sight. ! Apply to the same place for a long time. ! Under any circumstances aim the heat gun at another person or animal. ! Do not use when explosive vapour or dust is in the air. Danger of burns -We recommend wearing a pair of heavy grade, non PVC type work gloves. Danger of fire or explosion if the appliance is not used with care. ! When changing the nozzle, switch off and allow the accessory and nozzle to cool. ! After use stand the heat gun up vertically (on its rear end) and allow to completely cool down. ! A hot nozzle can cause damage. ! Before every use check the condition of the plug and cable. If these are damaged in any way do not use. Repairs must be carried out by a fully qualified electrician. ! Always ensure there is adequate ventilation as gases and vapours may be given off when stripping paint. Ensure that protective goggles and masks are used. ! Poisonous or inflammable gases may be produced when working with paints (especially older type lead paints), varnishes, plastics and similar materials. ! Ensure the heat gun switch is in the off position when connecting to the mains. ! Ensure children and pets are kept away from the work area. ! It is recommended a RCD (residual current device) rated at 30mA is fitted into the mains socket-outlet first for added protection against electric shock. ! This product is intended for ‘household’ use only. ! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

ABOUT THE HG1500 The HG1500 is a highly versatile electric heat gun which can be used for many different applications, such as: ! Removal of paint ! Defrosting metal water pipes ! Forming and welding plastic ! Reducing heat shrinking tubing ! Soldering TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR HEAT GUN PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. HEAT SETTINGS The heat gun has two settings: 1. Low heat (switch down) -for use where the work surface or surroundings must not be allowed to get too hot. Setting~330°C. 2. High heat (switch up) -for faster heat up time of the work surface where you can also operate the gun at a greater distance. Setting~510°C. 2 OPERATION Before starting work it is advisable to test the work surface for the ideal temperature to use. The table below gives an indication of the likely heat settings required but always start with the low heat setting. All applications, with the exception of removing paint from window frames, can be performed without using a nozzle, however for best results nozzles are recommended. Suggested Ratings Low High Welding plastic Paint stripping Bending plastic Defrosting pipes Heat shrinking Removing vinyl plastic floor tiles Soldering Lighting BBQs Nozzles The gun is supplied with two different shaped nozzles, which can be used as follows: Concentrator Nozzle -G84 ! Directs a concentrated heat flow to the work surface. ! Ideal for removing paint in awkward corners, crevices, mouldings, beading or architraves. Concentrator nozzle G84 Glass Protection Nozzle -G89 ! Deflects the heat away from glass or other fragile areas. ! Ideal for windowsills, ledges, frames and skirting boards. Glass protection nozzle G89 Removing paint -general Do not heat the paint for too long as this will burn the paint, making it difficult to remove. 1.Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. 2.Hold the gun with nozzle approximately 50mm (2”) from surface of paintwork. 3.Starting with the low heat setting, move the gun slowly backwards and forwards until the paint blisters and bubbles. 4.Immediately remove the paint with a scraper or shavehook. 5.Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a continuous a...
