Getting started
The tool can be switched ON and OFF by the main switch.
The output temperature can be set via the setting wheel.
The air flow is adjusted automatically depending on the
battery status, ambient conditions and the type of the
output nozzle. The main goal of automatic air flow regulation
is to achieve the highest possible flow values at a constant
outlet temperature and thus ensure maximum output power
for all situations.
Setting wheel for output temperature
For the output temperature setting ist used setting wheel.
Temperatures can be set in the range of 150 - 550°C with
a step of 50°C for each number. The numbers 1 - 9 are
printed on the wheel.

Status LED light
A status LED light is located under the temperature setting
wheel. If the MH-7 is switched ON and the set temperature
is not reached, the wheel flashes slowly. If the outlet
temperature is reached, the wheel lights up continuously.
When the LED light flashes fast, the device stops immediately.
Fast flashing indicate one of the following situations:
•
the battery is empty - replace the battery
•
the battery is defective or not compatible - replace
the battery
•
the battery was connected when the main switch
was turned ON - turne the main switch OFF and ON again
If the user does not take any action within two minutes after
fast flashing starts, the LED will stop flashing and the device
will automatically turn off.
Applications
The hot air tool is ideal for use on smaller-type components
and shrink tubing. In particular, it has come to be appreciated
by electronics technicians, model-makers, automotive
workshops and electrical fitters.
Here are just some of its many uses:
Heat-shrinking
-
Shrink-fitting connectors for cables and wires.
-
Fitting heat-shrinkable products
(e.g. heat-shrinkable tubes)
Soldering / de-soldering
-
Soldering SMD components.
-
Repairs and corrections to electronic SMD assemblies.
Shaping
-
Work on plastic parts, e.g. in model-making.
De-icing
-
De-icing locks
Removing / Softening
-
Removing stickers
-
Heating and removing of glued materials
Welding
-
Welding with welding rods (e.g. PVC, PE, PP, ABS)
-
Welding PVC sheeting (e.g. roof membranes, HGV curtain
sides/tent tarpaulin)
Heating large areas
-
Heating automotive films
