CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Hot air gun is a hand-held power tool with insulation class II. Double
insulation of the hot air gun and integrated protection against
overheating (thermal switch) ensure safe operation. It is equipped
with AC motor that drives small turbine inside, which forces air
to flow through heating element. Stream of air is then directed
through outlet nozzle towards processed surface. Design of the hot
air gun allows to use one of the tempeerature ranges to adjust air
temperature for requirements of the task. Hot air gun is designed
for paint coating removal, heating up stuck threaded joints to aid
in unscrewing and to heat up frozen water piping, locks, padlocks
etc. Hot air gun can also be used for drying wooden elements before
mechanical processing, using heat-shrinkable sleeves, soldering and
for other tasks that require heating up with the use of stream of dry,
hot air. Hot air gun is intended for amateur use only.
Use the power tool according to the manufacturer's instructions only.

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 range of 0 o to 360 o (fig. A). Use of additional nozzles allows
to do jobs easier and with greater accuracy.
• Flat nozzle – it can protect surfaces (e.g. window glass) against
overheating by directing stream of hot air. It is especially useful for
paint coating removal.
• Protector nozzle – ensures uniform distribution of hot air over
small areas.
• Reducing nozzle – directs stream of hot air to allow working in
corners and soldering.
• Reflector nozzle – it is used for soldering, shaping plastic pipes,
defrosting water piping and shrinking heat-shrinkable sleeves.
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 four 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 - 25
Position II – temperature - 350
Position III – temperature - 550
Position I is used to cool down hot objects, drying paint or cooling
the device after long operation with high temperature before
putting it away or replacing a nozzle.
When changing high temperature position II or III to position I, wait
until the device cools down to temperature of 25
Hot air gun is very easy to use. Four 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
Work place
1.
Ensure there are no objects nearby that limit free movement,
comfortable and safe use of the tool.
Power supply
2.
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.
Switch
3.
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.
Extension cord
4.
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.
Operation check
5.
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.
