Starting operation

A coating protects the metal surfaces from corrosion ex-works. This protective layer evaporates during initial use.

The heat gun may display discolourations on the nozzle (3) due to the production process. These do not count as damage; the functioning of the heat gun is not affected.

Slide the on/off switch (2) upwards.

Slide the on/off switch (2) downwards into the 0 position.

  • After a sustained period of work at a high temperature, let the heat gun cool down before switching off. To do this, allow it to run on the lowest temperature setting for a short while.

With the on/off switch (2), you can adjust the airflow for both work stages:

Work stage

l/min

°C

150–300

50–630

300–500

50–630

Reduce the airflow, for instance, if the area surrounding a workpiece cannot tolerate excessive heat or if a workpiece is light enough that the airflow might move it.

You can control the temperature of the airflow using the thumbwheel (5).

The positions marked on the thumbwheel correspond to the following temperature ranges:

Thumbwheel position

Temperature in °C

1

50–80

2

130–160

3

210–240

4

280–310

5

340–370

6

410–440

7

480–510

8

550–580

9

620–630

Thumbwheel position 1 is suitable for cooling down a heated workpiece or for drying paint. It is also suitable for cooling down the heat gun before switching it off or changing the attachment nozzles.
