Cleaning And Maintenance - Max 45505 Gebrauchsanweisung

Use
A small amount of smoke can be emitted
when used for the � rst time. This is normal
and does not mean the gun is defective.
Switch on by pushing the on/off button (3)
to the desired position. In position I (up) the
gun will heat to 350 °C, in position II (down) it
will heat to 600 °C.
Direct the nozzle (1) at the item. Examples of
use are described below.
Avoid keeping the gun on the same spot
for too long, as extended exposure to heat
(especially when using setting II) can damage
or ignite the item.
Switch off by pushing the on/off button to
the middle position 0. Allow to cool for at
least 30 minutes before putting it away.
Removal of paint and lacquer, and
softening glue
Soften paint/lacquer using hot air and
remove it using a scraper. Over-exposing
paint or lacquer to hot air can burn it, making
it diffi cult to remove. Use a clean, sharp
scraper.
When removing paint from glass surfaces,
use the heat gun with caution to avoid
cracking the glass!
Heat stickers and other forms of glue up to
soften them, before peeling or scraping off .
Shaping plastic pipes
Fill the pipe with sand and seal both ends.
This will prevent it breaking.
Apply heat evenly by moving the gun from
side to side. Bend the pipe as required when
softened.
Shrinking
Ensure diameter of shrink collar is large
enough for the item it is to be applied to.
Heat gently using the gun.
Thawing water pipes
Note! It is easy to confuse water pipes with
gas pipes. Never under any circumstances
heat gas pipes!
Always apply heat to the frozen spot from
the outside and work inwards.
Ensure the gun does not ignite any materials
around the pipe and remember that metal
pipes conduct heat.
Plastic pipes and sleeves must be heated
with particular care to avoid damage.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the tool with a slightly damp cloth
after use and always keep all surfaces and
ventilation slots (2) clean.
Never use corrosive or abrasive detergents,
as they may aff ect plastic parts.
