Double Insulated Tools
Tools marked with the words “Double Insulated” are equipped with a two prong plug. These
tools have a special insulation system that complies with applicable UL and CSA standards.
They do not require grounding. ”Double Insulated” tools, like this one, have two prong cords and
can use either a two or three prong extension cord.
“This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.”
Extension Cords
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, heavier
gauge extension cords are required. The use of extension
cords of inadequate size wire causes a serious drop in volt-
age and loss of power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep
cords away from excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or
wet areas. Repair or replace damaged extension cords be-
fore using.

Getting started
The device is switched on and off
with the selector switch on the
front of the handle. The distance
from the object being processed
depends on the material and the
intended type of processing. Always do an initial test with re-
gard to air volume and tempera-
ture. With the optional accessory
nozzles (see accessories on page
3), the hot air can be precisely
targeted to specific points or sur- faces. Exercise caution when
changing hot nozzles! When
you use the heat gun as a sta-
tionary device, ensure that it is
positioned securely on a clean
surface so that it cannot slip.
Operation
Level 1 is the cool air setting. The
temperature is approximately 80°F
(room temperature). Use the cool
air function to dry paint, to cool
workpieces or to cool the nozzle
before changing an accessory
part. At Level 2 the blower tem-
perature is determined by means of the key used and the position of
the rotary wheel. Color coded keys
each lock in a specific temperature
range. When not in use, keys may
be stored on the convenient base.
Disconnect the device from the
power supply before changing the
keys. Remove the key to be changed from the device using
your thumb and index finger.
Select the desired temperature key
from the stand and insert it into the
unit. After the key locks into the
unit, the device can be switched
on again.
Temperature Selection
Turn the baffle to adjust the
air and temperature within the
range allowed by the key in use.
Turning the baffle toward LO low-
ers the temperature while increas-
ing the airflow. Turning the baffle
toward HI increases the tempera-
ture while decreasing the airflow. See Technical Specifications for
the temperature range defined by
each key. 7
Adjustable Baffle
Push the quick-lock switch
on the base using your thumb
and index finger and set the device into the guide channel.
Then release. Press the locking
switch to adjust the blower direction of the HB 1750 by
swivelling it. 11
Working with the stand
The HB 1750’s plug-in heating
element is quick and easy to
change.
1. Caution! Disconnect the
device from the power supply.
Exercise caution if the device
was being used previously.
The protective tubing will be
very hot. Let it cool down first!
2. Unscrew the the two screws
at the end of the protective
tubing.
3. Remove the protective tubing.
4. Remove the heating element
and replace it with a new one.
5. Replace the protective tubing
and screw it tight.
