8. BASIC HEAT GUN OPERATIONS
Note: Isolate the power source by either removing
the power supply plug from the socket, or battery
from the tool, before carrying out adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the machine is switched
OFF before connecting to the power supply.
8.1 ON/OFF SWITCH – FIG.1
The ON/OFF switch has three positions/settings:
– Position O is off.
– Position 1 (I) is a 400°C heat (approx.)
– Position 2 (II) is high heat approximately 600°C.
8.2 FREE-STANDING OPERATION
– FIG.2
This heat gun can be positioned free-standing. This
allows the user to have both hands free which is
essential for certain applications, e.g. pipe bending,
plastic welding, etc. Position the heat gun on it's
end, only on a level suitable surface.
Note: Never leave the heat gun unattended or
switched on.
8.3 THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
Please note this machine is fitted with a safety
thermal overload protection. If the product, is
continuously used too close to the workpiece resulting in over heating and the machine potentially
catching fire, the thermal overload protection will be activated and heat production will stop.
Note: The fan and motor will continue to run, drawing in cool air past the thermal overload
protection device. After a short time (10 seconds) the hot air gun will automatically start producing
heat again.
Warning! Remember the nozzle will remain hot for sometime – a safe storage location should be
used.
Continued thermal overload protection activation may cause permanent damage. If the heat gun
becomes too hot as in misuse situations then a permanent fail safe will operate and the heat gun
will become inoperable.
