Maintenance And Service; Maintenance And Cleaning; After-Sales Service And Application Service - Bosch GHG 18V-50 Notice Originale

You can work without accessories for all examples of work.
However, using the recommended accessories will simplify
the work and considerably increase the quality of the result.
You can use all nozzles that are available as accessories
from Bosch with this heat gun.
Take care when changing the nozzle. Do not touch the
u
nozzle while it is hot. Let the heat gun cool down and
wear protective gloves during changeover. The heat
from the nozzle can cause burns.
Heat-shrinking (see figure A)
Fit the reflector nozzle (12) (accessory). Choose the dia-
meter of the heat shrink plastic tube (14) (accessory) suit-
able for the workpiece. Evenly heat the heat shrink plastic
tube until it fits closely against the workpiece.
Removing varnish/loosening adhesives(see figure B)
Fit the surface nozzle (10) (accessory). Briefly soften the
varnish with hot air and remove it with a clean spatula. Long
heat exposure 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.
Fit the angle nozzle (11) (accessory). Gradually heat the
frozen points of the pipe, starting at the outlet and moving
back towards the inlet.
Take great care when warming plastic pipes and pipe con-
nections to avoid causing damage.
Soft Soldering (see figure D)
Fit the reducing nozzle (13) (accessories).
If you are using solder without flux, apply soldering grease or
paste to the solder joint. Heat the solder joint and apply the
solder. The solder must be melted by the temperature of the
workpiece.
If necessary, remove the flux after the solder joint has cooled
down.
