BASIC FUNCTIONS

1. Switch Operations and Temperature Adjustments
(Fig. 1, Fig. 2)
Slide the knob upward to activate the switch and enable
continual operations even when your fi nger is removed.
Slide the knob downward as far as it will go to set the
switch at the [0] position and turn it off .
The position to which the switch is slid will alternate
between modes.
Switch [1] position:
Fixes the wind temperature at 50°C and enables the
wind power to be adjusted.
Switch [2] position:
Enables the wind temperature to be adjusted
between 50°C and 650°C, and enables the wind
power to be adjusted.
2. Adjusting the Temperature (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3)
The temperature can be adjusted between 50°C and
650°C when the switch is at the [2] position.
The temperature will rise by 10°C each time the
Increase Temperature button is pressed (to a maximum
of 650°C.)
Press the button continuously to increase the
temperature in increments of 10°C.
The temperature will decrease by 10°C each time the
Decrease Temperature button is pressed (to a minimum
of 50°C.)
The set temperature will be indicated on the display
when the Increase Temperature and Decrease
Temperature buttons are pressed, but this will return to
the hot wind temperature display after a few seconds.
The temperature will be fi xed at 50°C when the switch is
at the [1] position, and adjustment is not possible.
This is used to quickly cool material that is heat-
warping and to cool the nozzle when it reaches high
temperatures after using the tool.
3. Wind Power Adjustment (Fig. 1, Fig. 3)
The wind power can be adjusted in fi ve stages between
1 and 5. (0.25m to 0.5m
3
Press the [+] button to increase wind power, and the [–]
button to decrease wind power.
The tool can be used with it stood pointing upward.
(Fig. 4)
CAUTION
Make sure the tool is placed on a stable surface so that
it won't topple over when used pointing upward.
4. Attaching the Nozzle (Fig. 5)
CAUTION
The nozzle is extremely hot immediately after use, so
do not touch it.
NOTE
Make sure you do not drop the nozzle.
Replace the nozzle for a type that is suited to the job in hand.
Insert the nozzle supplied fi rmly into the hot wind release
nozzle until it can go no further.
5. Temperature Settings
WARNING
○ Do not use the tool in the vicinity of volatile substances
(thinner, gasoline, etc.)
○ Do not bring the hot wind release nozzle in close
contact with your hands or face during use.
The nozzle is extremely hot immediately after use, so
do not touch it.
Set the temperature in consideration of the article to be
heated.
Also, pay attention to the surrounding material that will be
heated at the same time.

First of all, apply the hot wind from a distance while checking
that there are no changes in the article being heated, and
then move it closer until it reaches an appropriate distance.
Heating infl ammable substances
(paper, wood, plastic, etc.)
Set the switch to the [1] position and apply the heat with
the nozzle at least 10cm away from the article being
heated.
Gently move the tip of the nozzle up, down, left and right
to apply the heat.
Applying heat constantly to one location may result in
malformation or the outbreak of smoke.
Heating non-fl ammable substances
(metal, stone, concrete, etc.)
Set the switch to the [1] position, and if there are no
problems, move it to the [2] position.
Apply the heat with the nozzle at least 5cm away from
the article being heated.
Holding the nozzle too close may result in the tool
overheating, leading to malfunctions.

WORK EXAMPLE

CAUTION
Parts of the nozzles supplied are sharp, so use gloves
when removing them from the case and when attaching
or detaching them.
Select the nozzle in consideration of the shape of the
article being heated and the area being heated.
1. Peeling off paint (Fig. 6)
Use nozzle (fl at) or nozzle (round) to soften the paint
with the hot wind, and then remove it with the scraper
supplied.
Note that heating the paint too much may result in it
scorching and becoming harder, making it diffi cult to
scrape off .
2. Softening adhesive (Fig. 7)
Use nozzle (fl at) or nozzle (round) to soften the surface
and make it easy to peel, and then pull up one of the
edges, blow heat underneath it and gently peel it off so
that none of the adhesive remains.
3. Heat wrapping (Fig. 8)
Use nozzle (fl at) to heat-wrap shrink fi lm and tubes. The
material will change color or crack if hot air is blown onto
it from a close distance, so maintain an appropriate
distance while monitoring progress.
4. Forming resin pipes (Fig. 9)
Use nozzle (curved surface) to evenly heat the
circumference of the resin pipe.
To prevent the inside of the pipe from narrowing when
bending it, etc., pour sand inside, block both ends and
then gently bend it.
5. Removing putty from window frames (Fig. 10)
Use nozzle (glass protector) to soften the putty with heat,
and then remove the putty with the scraper supplied.
Note that glass may crack if heat is continually applied
to it.
6. Defrosting water pipes (Fig. 11)
Use nozzle (curved surface) to heat the frozen area from
the edge to the center. Do not mistake water pipes for
glass pipes.
Take care to avoid damaging frozen resin areas on
water pipes.
