KRESS HLG 2000 E Mode D'emploi page 7

Some sample applications
Paints and enamels can be cleanly removed with the aid
of a spatula (potentiometer position 3–6 as required).
Frozen water pipes can be thawed without damage
(temperature may be adjusted as required).
Take care when working near wooden walls and
wooden false ceilings. Increased danger of fire or
smouldering fire!
Removing wallpaper with the aid of hot air, especially
useful in the case of ingrain wallpapers.
Loosening fitted carpets from below.
Remove the subsoil from the car.
Removing inconvenient stickers from cars.
Remove blisters from PVC stickers by warming.
Waxing skis.
Repairing of skis and surfboards and other sporting
equipment.
Staining wood with hot air instead of using dangerous
flames.
Sterilizing.
Expansion of hoses and plastic pipes.
Repair of enamel defects.
Soldering with tin solder, as well as tin coating of car
body- and sheet-metal parts (potentiometer position 6
= max. temp.).
Dry paints and knifing fillers with hot air (potentiometer
position 1–4, depending on permissible temperature).
Contraction of packings (potentiometer position 3–6).
Shrinking of PVC and teflon tubes (potentiometer posi-
tion 3–5).
PVC, polystyrol, acrylic glass and plexiglass can be
brought into the desired shape with the HLG 2000 E.
PVC, polystyrol at 300 °C (approx. potentiometer posi-
tion 3).
Acrylic glass and plexiglass at approx. 500 °C (approx.
potentiometer position 5).
Weld-seal cracks in polyethylene containers, or poly-
ethylene or PVC pipes, e.g. eaves gutters, water pipes
with welding bands (potentiometer position approx. 3).
If a shaping operation has been completed, the further
processing can be speeded up by blowing with the
HLG 2000 E in potentiometer position 1.
Dry construction joints safely before further processing
with the HLG 2000 E (potentiometer position 1–6).
Warming up of parts to be joined by means of pressing.
The HLG 2000 E is also ideal as a flameless Bunsen
burner in the large temperature range from approx.
80–600 °C.
Hot air may be used to help loosen screws that have
been overtightened.
Speeding up of adhesive operations.
Thawing.
Thawing off of refrigerators and freezers
(Attention! Plastics may be distorted under heat!).
