NOTE
○ There may be a diff erence between the displayed
temperature and the actual temperature.
○ Press and hold the + and - temperature control buttons
at the same time to switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and
Celsius (°C).
Set the temperature in consideration of the article to be
heated.
Also, pay attention to the surrounding material that will be
heated at the same time.
First of all, apply the hot air from a distance while checking
that there are no changes in the article being heated, and
then move it closer until it reaches an appropriate distance.
Heating infl ammable substances
(paper, wood, plastic, etc.)
Set the switch to the [set I] position and apply the heat
with the nozzle at least 10 cm away from the article being
heated.
Gently move the tip of the nozzle up, down, left and right
to apply the heat.
Applying heat constantly to one location may result in
malformation or the outbreak of smoke.
Heating non-fl ammable substances
(metal, stone, concrete, etc.)
Set the switch to the [set I] position, and if there are no
problems, move it to the [set II] position.
Apply the heat with the nozzle at least 5 cm away from
the article being heated.
Holding the nozzle too close may result in the tool
overheating, leading to malfunctions.
*2 Remaining battery indicator
Use as a guide only.
State of lamp
NOTE
When using a battery with a remaining battery indicator,
please refer to the indicator lamp on the battery for the
battery remaining power.
*3 How to use the hook
CAUTION
Do not hang the tool from your wrist or waist whenmoving
around with the nozzle still hot.
*4 Attaching/removing the nozzle
CAUTION
The nozzle is extremely hot immediately after use, so do
not touch it.
Insert the nozzle fi rmly into the front cover until it can go no
further.
You can remove the nozzle without touching it by rotating the
front cover counterclockwise.
NOTE
○ Be careful not to remove the nozzle during work.
○ When removing it, be careful not to damage the
surroundings or the nozzle.

*5 Work facing up
CAUTION
When using the tool facing up, place it on a stable
surface.
When working with both hands, such as when bending
a pipe, you can lay down the heat gun and use it with the
nozzle side facing up.
WORK EXAMPLE
CAUTION
Parts of the nozzles supplied are sharp, so use gloves
when removing them from the case and when attaching
or detaching them.
Select the nozzle in consideration of the shape of the
article being heated and the area being heated.
NOTE
Do not block the intake or nozzle during use.
1. Peeling off paint (Fig. 11)
Use nozzle (plane) or nozzle (round) to soften the paint
with the hot air, and then remove it with the scraper.
Note that heating the paint too much may result in it
scorching and becoming harder, making it diffi cult to
scrape off .
2. Softening adhesive (Fig. 12)
Use nozzle (plane) or nozzle (round) to soften the
surface and make it easy to peel, and then pull up one of
the edges, blow heat underneath it and gently peel it off
so that none of the adhesive remains.
3. Heat wrapping (Fig. 13)
Use nozzle (plane) to heat-wrap shrink fi lm and tubes.
The material will change color or crack if hot air is blown
onto it from a close distance, so maintain an appropriate
distance while monitoring progress.
4. Forming resin pipes (Fig. 14)
Use nozzle (curved surface) to evenly heat the
circumference of the resin pipe.
To prevent the inside of the pipe from narrowing when
bending it, etc., pour sand inside, block both ends and
then gently bend it.
5. Defrosting water pipes (Fig. 15)
Use nozzle (curved surface) to heat the frozen area from
the edge to the center. Do not mistake gas pipes for water
pipes and heat them.
Take care to avoid damaging frozen resin areas on water
pipes.
