Operation instructions
This power tool is supplied from single-phase alternat-
ing current mains only. It is double insulated according
to EN 60335-1 and can be connected to grounded or not
grounded sockets. This power tool is radio suppressed in
Original instructions
compliance with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
This tool is intended for the removal of paint, forming and
welding of plastic, warming of heat-shrinkable tubing; the
tool is also suitable for soldering, loosening adhesive
joints and defrosting water pipes.
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
▪ Make sure the power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the name plate with technical
data of the tool.
▪ Always check the position of ON/OFF switch. The pow-
er tool must be connected to the power supply socket
only when this switch is in OFF position as the maxi-
mum temperature is achieved for 60 seconds only.
▪ Make sure that the cord and the plug are in order. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the
power tool prior to any adjustment, servicing or main-
tenance.
▪ Check the functioning of the tool before each use and,
in case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a
qualified person; never attempt to open the tool your-
self.
▪ The distance between the nozzle and the processed
material will vary depending on the kind of material
but regardless of the regulator position keep the air
outlet at least at 50 mm away from the processed
surface.
▪ All application examples (except removing paint from
windows) can be performed without accessories;
however, using the appropriate accessory facilitates
operation and significantly improves the quality of the
results.
HEAT SETTINGS
The heat gun can be operated in two heat modes:
1. Low heat area (50-400
o
or surroundings must not be allowed to get too hot.
2. High heat area (50-550
the workpiece or surroundings where you can also
operate the gun at a greater distance.
Before starting the operation it is advisable to test the
workpiece for the ideal temperature to use. The table be-
low gives an indication of the likely heat settings required
for different applications but always start with the low
heat setting of the temperature regulator (5).
Suggested heat settings (Fig. 1):
▪ Paint stripping: High setting
▪ Defrosting pipes: High setting
▪ Bending plastics: Low setting
▪ Heat shrinking: Low setting
SWITCHING ON - SWITCHING OFF
Switching on: Set the switch (6) to position I. Some
smoke may be emitted after switching on; this does not
indicate a problem.
Switching off: Set the switch (6) to position O.
