Take the shavehook handle from the set, remove the nut from the end, fit the required blade then fix in place by refitting Triangular Shavehook and tightening the nut.

Select a heatshrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece. Welding plastics Choose the Concentrator or Deflector nozzle and fit over heat outlet. The materials being welded together must be of exactly the same type of plastic. Heat the seam until the plastic becomes tacky, then apply the other surface. WARNING: Plastic can very quickly change from being tacky into becoming liquid. Turn the gun upside down and place on it's stand so that it is resting on a secure bench with the nozzle pointing upwards; see picture below. To avoid buckling or kinking 5 the tube, fill the tube with dry sand and seal at both ends. Heat the tube evenly by moving from side to side and bend to required shape. WARNING: Protect hands from heat. Bending Plastic Tubing Cooling The nozzle of the heat gun can become very hot during use. Stand the heat gun upright as shown to allow convection currents to cool the nozzle. To speed up the cooling time, set the heat setting to the minimum and run the heat gun for 2-3 minutes. Always allow at least 30 minutes for the heat gun to cool after switching off. [. . . ] The scraper, shavehooks and nozzles are classed as consumables and are not covered by guarantee.
