Using the tool
Your tool is fi tted with a thermostat for your safety.
Using the tool continuously for very long periods
or other severe duty cycles may cause the tool to
overheat and stop working. It is therefore recom-
mended that you allow the tool to cool down at
regular intervals during use.
♦ Allow the tool to heat up for a few seconds before
use.
♦ At fi rst use some smoke may emit from the noz-
zle. This is normal and will soon decrease.
♦ Your tool is capable of many different heat set-
tings using a combination of the two settings on
the trigger and the variable heat control dial.
♦ Use a low temperature setting for drying paint
and varnish, removing stickers, shrinking insula-
tion tubes, and thawing frozen pipes.
♦ Use a medium temperature setting for welding
plastics, bending plastic pipes, and loosening
tight nuts and screws.
