Description of the device:
The Proxxon Heat Gun MH 550 is a com-
pact, yet powerful device for thousands of
functions, whether this involves
drying freshly painted surfaces, or
• removing stickers and films,
• welding plastics,
• shaping plastics,
• thawing water pipes, for example, but of
course all kinds of other things,
• removing coats of paint and, e.g., putty,
• loosening stuck screw joints,
• drying wood,
• or when working with heat-shrink tubes.
The ergonomically shaped MH 550 is a per-
fect fit for your hand and makes work suc-
ceed quickly and perfectly: Even soft
soldering of electrical connections, the ac-
celeration of curing procedures (e.g. for ad-
hesives or resins), decorative browning of
wood, and, and, and...
For all its high performance and its useful-
ness, the device is still surprisingly compact:
The small and light MH 550 enables fatigue-
proof work, and its 1.8 m long mains cable
provides an appropriately large operating
range. The greatest possible flexibility is
provided by the 3 included attachment noz-
zles (reflector nozzle, spot nozzle, flat noz-
zle): The shape of the air flow can be
optimally adapted to the respective work
task.
We made the housing of sturdy glass fibre
reinforced plastic and integrated soft com-
ponents for a comfortable grip. Defined foot-
prints enable stationary use; the device can
also be set up and then held securely by an
adjustable wire stand. A powerful heating el-
ement with sophisticated temperature con-
trol ensures a consistent temperature in 2
settings with an air flow of 150 l/min.
And to prevent scorching, overheating pro-
tection has been included for your safety.
