Important Safety Instructions
(cont’d)
Operating Instructions
When heat gun is used in an
enclosed container, such as a
shrink tunnel or special
enclosure, ambient air must be
allowed to pass into the heat
gun and there must be an
outlet of equal size for the
heated air to pass out of the
enclosure also. Total enclosure
will cause damage or possible
failure to the heat gun due to
the extreme heat generated.
The proper amount of heat for
each application is dependent
upon the adjustment of
the heat adjustment control,
the distance of the nozzle from
the work surface and the
length of time that heat is
applied to the work surface.
Before performing any
application, we recommend
that you experiment with a
piece of scrap material. Use
care in approaching the work
until you find the proper
combination of heat
adjustment, control distance
from the work surface, and the
heat application time.
Use a gentle back and forth
motion when applying heat
unless it is found that a
concentrated heat is desired.
