MAINTENANCE
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE”
until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
ACCESSORIES
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go on-line
to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog,
contact your local distributor or a service center.
Types of Nozzles
• Hook Nozzle - Surrounding heat for thin pipe weld-
ing, soft soldering copper pipes, tube shaping and
shrinking of shrink tubes.
• Air Reduction Nozzle - Intensifi ed, spot directed
heat for corners, plexiglas bending and soldering.
• Defl ector Nozzle - Defl ected heat protects glass
window panes when removing paint and putty.
• Air Spreader Nozzle - Directs heat over large
areas for drying, removing paint, fl oor coverings,
and vinyl tops.
Removing Paint
Read safety instructions for removing paint before
proceeding with paint removal.
1. Begin work with low temperature setting.
2. Place nozzle approximately 1" away from work
surface.
3. Pass nozzle back and forth over a small area of
workpiece.
4. Gradually increase heat until paint starts to
blister, then remove heat.
5. Remove paint using a sharp-edged putty knife.
Creating Bends
Both variable temperature and dual temperature
heat guns are ideal for creating bends in plexiglas
that is used for guards and fi xtures.
1. To form a bend, use either a low or high tempera-
ture setting. When using a low temperature, hold
the heat gun close to the workpiece and pass the
nozzle back and forth slowly. When using a high
temperature, hold the heat gun further away
from the workpiece and pass the nozzle back
and forth rapidly.
2. Pass the nozzle over entire length of the surface
to be bent. Applying heat to only part of the
surface will make bending uneven.
Soldering
1. Attach the air reduction or hook nozzle to the
heat gun.
2. De-burr the pipe and joint using sandpaper or
steel wool.
3. To solder with either lead or non-lead solder, coat
the tip on both the copper pipe and the joint with
fl ux. Then slip the joint over the pipe.
4. Slip the accessory nozzle around the joint. With
the heat gun at a high temperature setting, apply
heat to the joint.
5. When the fl ux bubbles, add solder and position
heat gun so excess solder does not drip into the
heat gun.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to
fl ow inside the tool.
WARNING To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before per-
forming any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring
on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
WARNING To reduce the risk of heat
damage and personal injury, shield combusti-
ble materials and areas adjacent to workpiece.
Protect yourself from hot paint scrapings and
dust.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching or
removing accessories. Use only specifi cally
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
Heat Shrinking
1. Attach the air reduction or hook nozzle to the
heat gun.
2. To heat shrink tubing, use a low temperature
setting. Apply heat to the workpiece using a side
to side motion until tubing has shrunk. Remove
heat immediately.
