For your safety
These heat guns are doubly protected from overheating:
1. A thermal control switches the heating element off when the discharge of air from the outlet nozzle
is blocked (heat accumulation). The fan continues to run however. Once the outlet nozzle is free again,
the heating element switches on again automatically after a short period. The thermal control may also
respond after the device has been switched off. It may therefore take longer than usual until the temperature
at the outlet nozzle is reached after switching on again. *
2. The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it is overloaded.
*does not apply to HG 6020, HG 5010
