ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is

the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on

230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.

This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the

fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or

damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to

damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions

shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket

could cause an electrical hazard.

If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the

markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is

marked Nor coloured Black.

• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is

marked Lor coloured Red.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a

Residual Current Device (RCD)

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

This symbol indicates that this is a Class II product, and does not require an earth

OVERVIEW

The CHG1600 hot air gun provides two temperatures/air speeds for varying

applications.

A protection nozzle is supplied for use when stripping window frames or similar,

where hot air is prevented from being trained directly onto the glass.

OPERATION

Before starting work it is recommended that you heat a test piece to ensure

you have the correct heat setting. In addition you should always take steps to

protect sensitive or delicate areas where the effect of heat could cause

damage (i.e. glass and plastics). Do not apply heat to the same place for a

long time.

After the work has been completed, switch the gun off, disconnect from the

mains supply and allow to cool in a safe place.

Take care not to drop the gun as this could seriously damage the heating

element.

REMOVING PAINT AND DISSOLVING ADHESIVES

The gun can be used in conjuction with a shavehook to remove paint.

1. With the switch in the ‘0’ (OFF) position plug the hot air gun into the mains

supply.

2. Set the switch to either position 1

or 2 according to how much heat

is required. (see Specification on

page 2).

• Ensure the nozzle is pointing

away from you.

3. Bring the nozzle of the hot air gun

to the work piece approximately 3

cm from the surface.

• The exact distance between

the nozzle and the work piece will be dependent on the material

being worked on.

• Paint will rapidly become soft and blister, at which point it can be

removed with a suitable scraper. Do not allow paint to burn as this

will make the removal process more difficult.

• Some adhesives soften when heated and the joint can then be

separated, taking care to avoid damage to jointed parts.

4. Clean your shavehook quickly if paint/glue becomes stuck to it.

• Profiled parts may be cleaned with a suitable wire brush once paint

is softened.

• Normally only one pass is required to remove both thick and thin

layers of paint.

REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOW FRAMES

DO NOT point the gun directly at

glass and always ensure it is

adequately protected. A glass

protection nozzle is provided for use

when stripping window frames etc.

1. Fit the glass protection nozzle to

the front of the hot air gun and

angle it so that the gun can be

placed up against the window,

with the cowl of the nozzle, flat

against the glass as shown.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

2. It will be necessary to change the position of the protection nozzle as you

work around the window pane. Ensure you wear adequate hand

protection when doing so.

3. The protection nozzle must be kept in contact with the work at all times, but

do not spend too much time in one area.

GENERAL USE

To prevent the gun from overheating, maintain a minimum distance of 3 cm

between the end of the nozzle and the work piece.

FORMING AND WELDING PLASTIC PARTS

When bending or forming plastic parts, work slowly and with great care

observing the effects of heat on such materials.

NOTE: With plastics, the temperature range between solid, pliable and

liquid states is narrow, therefore great care should be taken.

WOOD STAINING

Wood can be stained giving a ‘rustic’ effect.

1. Fit the diffuser nozzle to the front of the hot air gun.

2. Do not hold the nozzle too close to the wood as this may cause the wood

to colour unevenly.

3. Use a fine sandpaper to remove any singed wood fibres when finished.

HEAT SHRINK SLEEVE FITTING

Fit the concentrating nozzle to the front of the hot air gun.

1. Select a suitable size heat shrink sleeve for the work piece.

NOTE: Heat the sleeve evenly.

THAWING WATER PIPES

The gun is ideal for speeding up the defrosting of water pipes.

1. Always heat frozen areas inwards from the edge to the centre.

2. Take special care when defrosting plastic pipes.

3. Provide protection against heat damage to nearby paint and wall

coverings where necessary.

4. Be aware that copper gas pipes can be difficult to distinguish from copper

water pipes. Always check first.

5. Copper pipes are often soldered together, therefore should not be heated

above 200oC.
