PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

CHOOSING APPROPRIATE OUTLET NOZZLE
Depending on the needs and work performed, appropriate nozzle
can be attached by sliding it onto the outlet nozzle (1). Any additional
nozzle can be fixed in the axis of hot air gun at any angle from the
o
o
range of 0 to 360 (fig. A). Use of additional nozzles allows to do jobs
easier and with greater accuracy.
Do not obstruct air intake holes (2) as it may cause power tool
overheating.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of
the hot air gun.
Hot air gun features three position switch (3) and allows to adjust
temperature and air flow parameters according to the needs for work
at hand (fig. B). Set the switch to appropriate position.
Position 0 – switched off
Position I – temperature 350 0
Position II – temperature 550
Hot air gun is very easy to use. Three position switch (3) allows to adjust air
stream temperature to the work at hand. Wait for a while after switching
the hot air gun on to allow stream of air to reach desired temperature.
Small emission of smoke is normal when switching the hot air gun
for the first time.

PROTECTION AGAINST OVERHEATING
Do not put hot air gun nozzle too close to processed material, as
it could cause reflection of hot air stream from the surface and
activation of overheating protection.
Choose distance between nozzle and processed object depending
on its material and additional nozzle being used. Determine the most
suitable temperature by trials and errors, therefore start operation at
low temperature range.
In case of overheating (thermal overloading), when thermal
protection activates, heaters inside hot air gun are switched off
automatically, but blower continues to operate. When the tool
cools down to working temperature setting, heating will be
switched on automatically.
SHAPING PLASTIC PIPES / DEFROSTING
• Put reflector nozzle onto outlet nozzle. Avoid narrowing the pipe by
filling it with sand and sealing at both sides.
• Heat the pipe by moving it over the hot air gun.
• Always heat frozen water system pipes starting from ends towards
middle point. To avoid damages, be very careful when heating
plastic pipes and connections between pipes.
Often it is impossible to differ water system pipes from gas
pipes. Be very careful. You must not heat gas pipes under any
circumstances.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Work place
Ensure there are no objects nearby that limit free movement,
comfortable and safe use of the tool.
2. Power supply
Ensure the specification of power supply that the hot air gun is to be
connected to matches requirements described on the rating plate of
the tool.
3. Switch
Ensure the switch is in the off position. When plugging to power
supply socket when the switch is in the ON position, immediate start
of hot air gun operation may cause a serious accident.
4. Extension cord
When the workplace is far away from the power supply socket use
extension cord with appropriate cross section, matched to current
used. Use the shortest possible extension cord.
5. Operation check
Operation of hot air gun should be smooth and even. Use such tool
only.
REMOVING PAINT
• Switch hot air gun and set appropriate working temperature.
• Direct the hot air stream to surface coated with paint. Bubbles will
appear after some time. Do not allow burning of paint, it would
make removal more difficult.
• When removing paint with scraper or putty knife, remove it
gradually from top to bottom. If you encounter a place where the
