INSTALLING/REMOVING NOZZLES
See Figures 2 - 3, page 9.
There are two nozzles included with the heat pen:
Deflector nozzle: The deflector nozzle curves heat around
an object, for example, the nozzle is useful for applying heat
around shrinkable tubing.
Spreader nozzle: The spreader nozzle directs hot air into
a wide slot and distributes heat over a broad surface area.
Uses for this nozzle include bending acrylic plastic sheets
and directing heat into corners.
To install:
 Push the selected attachment onto the end of the tool's
heat shield tip until firmly in place.
NOTE: Install the attachments only when the tool's heat
shield tip is cool.
To remove:
 After the attachment and heat shield tip have been com-
pletely cooled, remove the attachment by pulling away
from the tip.
 Clean the nozzle as described in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
 The two nozzles can be stored in the internal onboard
storage located beneath the heat pen stand. Place the
nozzle in the hole until firmly in place. (See Figure 3.)
TURNING THE HEAT PEN ON/OFF
See Figure 4, page 9.
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown. (See
Figure 1.) Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
To turn on:
 Turn the temperature control dial clockwise to low or high
temperature.
NOTE: The heat pen heats up in two minutes.
To turn off:
 Turn the temperature control dial counterclockwise to off.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 5, page 9.
The LED light, located on the top of the tool, illuminates
when the unit is on.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged battery
pack in the tool.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE HEAT PEN
See Figures 5 - 6, page 9.
WARNING:
Do not direct the hot nozzle or heat shield tip towards
clothing, hands, or other body parts. Intense heat from
tip or nozzle can cause serious burns or cause clothing
to ignite.
 Install the battery pack.
 Turn the heat pen to desired temperature, either low or
high.
 Hold the heat pen with one hand.
 Move the heat pen until the nozzle is close to the area
being heated.
NOTE: Experiment with scrap materials to determine
the proper amount of heat, distance, and time for your
project.
WARNING:
During heating, move the tool back-and-forth. Avoid
lingering or pausing in one spot as this could overheat
or potentially ignite the material being heated.
WARNING:
Do not place your other hand on top of the tool or near
the heat shield nozzle at any time. Holding the tool on or
near the heat shield tip can cause serious personal injury.
 After use, turn the heat pen off and place the tool in the
heat pen stand with the heat shield tip down until the tool
rests in the metal clip.
NOTE: Do not leave the heat pen unattended while it is
running. Make sure the heat pen stand is on a flat surface
and the cord placement does not cause the tool to tip
over.
