9 OPERATION
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
Use only one hand to hold the tool Do not place your other hand over the
air vents.
The machine must be switched off when it is connected to the mains.
Prior to operation:
▪ Mount the correct accessory for the application.
▪ Set the desired air temperature.
9.1 Switching on and off
• Connect the plug to the power supply.
▪ To turn on the hot air gun, set its power switch (1) to “1” or “ll”.
▪ Switch “I” - Low temperature position (350 °C maximum). Used for mild heating
applications, i.e., heat shrink tube, heat shrink bag, plastic bending, shaping and welding,
removing old paint coating.
▪ Switch “ll” - High temperature position (600 °C maximum). Used for intense heating
applications, i.e., frozen water pipe, defrosting refrigerator, and metal welding.
▪ To turn off the hot air gun, set its power switch (1) to “l”. Then set the power switch to “0”
and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet. (This method helps cool down the heat
element properly to extend the life of the hot air gun.)
9.2 Stripping paint
▪ Mount an appropriate accessory.
▪ Set a high air temperature.
▪ Switch the tool on.
▪ Direct the hot air onto the paint to be removed.
▪ When the paint softens, scrape the paint away using a hand scraper.
Do not strip metal window frames, as the heat may be conducted onto the
glass and crack it. When stripping other window frames, use the glass
protection nozzle.
