3. INSTALLATION
You can work manually with this hot air gun or you
can put it in a vertical position. If you use the vertical
position the metal suspension bracket of the handgrip
must also stand vertical for supporting the handgrip
on the correct place (Fig.A, 2).
4. USING THE APPLIANCE

BEFORE OPERATING
Before you switch on the hot air gun you have to
search for the right adapter for the mouthpiece and
assemble it on the mouthpiece if it is still cold (Fig.A,
3).
Replace the mouthpiece only:
•With a stationary engine;
•When the appliance is disconnected;
•When the mouth piece is cold.
OPERATION
•Check if the mains switch is on position “0”
before you connect the apparatus (Fig.A, 1);
•Keep the power voltage always away from the
hot air stream and the mouth piece;
•Put the mains switch in position “1” or “II” to let
your hot air gun operate:
•“1” = 350 degrees, air flow 500 l/min.
•“0” = Off
•“2” = 580 degrees, air flow 700 l/min.
Tip: If you want to get the best result, test all
appliances on a little part of the workpiece.
