As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown *WARNING: A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket outlet. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Green and Yellow - Earth, Blue - Neutral, Brown - Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue.

ADDED SAFETY RULES FOR HOT AIR GUNS NOTE: A FIRE COULD ARISE IF THIS HOT AIR GUN IS NOT USED WITH CARE. 1. Ensure that the hot air gun is switched OFF before connecting to the power supply. 2. Do not use this hot air gun as a hair dryer. 3. Do not touch the hot metal nozzle. 4. Allow the hot air gun to cool down completely before storing. 5. Do not direct the flow of hot air at persons or animals. 6. Do not hold the metal nozzle too close to the workpiece as the air flow will be restricted and may cause the hot air gun to overheat. Position the nozzle at least 25mm from the work surface. 7. Use in a well ventilated area as poisonous or inflammable fumes or gases may be produced from certain plastics, paints or similar materials. 8. When working with or near easily combustible materials and inflammable gases, take special care. (Do not apply heat to any one area for long periods of time). 9. Heat may be conducted to combustible materials which are not visible from the work area. 10. Never leave the hot air gun running whilst unattended. 11. Do not look directly into the metal nozzle when the machine is switched on. 12. Place the hot air gun in its free standing position (page 6) after use and allow it to cool down before storing it. 13. THE CERAMIC RODS MAY BECOME LOOSE BUT IN NO WAY DOES THIS ALTER THE SAFETY OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HOT AIR GUN 1. BS approved non-rewireable 3 pin moulded plug and cable. 2. ON/OFF, air flow and temperature control switch (three position). 3. Metal nozzle. 4. Support feet 5. Air intake vents 6. Free standing support plate. ✖✌ ✗✌ ✘✌ ✕✌ ✙✌

OPERATION & USE IMPORTANT - ensure that the machine is switched OFF before connecting to the power supply. ON/OFF SWITCH The ON/OFF switch has three positions/settings, (see Fig.1). This shows the switch in the off position. For low heat switch up to position 1 & for full heat switch into position 2. FREESTANDING OPERATION This hot air gun can be positioned as shown in Fig.2 using the free standing support plate. This allows the user to have both hands free which is essential for certain applications, eg. pipe bending, plastic welding etc. Position the hot air gun on it’s end and position the support foot ✪✌as shown in ✪✌ Fig.2 Fig.1

APPLICATIONS The following instructions should only be used as a guide as the ideal temperature should be ascertained by performing a test on the workpiece. Heating efficiency will vary depending on the properties of the workpiece, and the distance kept between the metal nozzle and the workpiece. IMPORTANT: Please note this machine is fitted with safety thermal overload protection. If the product, for example, is used too close to the workpiece - resulting in overheating, the thermal overload protection will be activated and stop the motor/heating of the machine. The hot air gun should be switched off and disconnected from the power supply, allowing the machine to totally cool down - before restarting work. Remember the nozzle will remain hot for sometime - a safe storage location should be used. Fig.3 ✬✌ Fig.4 Fig.5 PAINT REMOVAL FROM WINDOW FRAMES Fig.4 IMPORTANT: Do not direct the hot air gun at the glass during use as it may crack. Always use the glass protection nozzle ✫✌(not supplied see optional accessories, page 9). Do not touch the glass with the hot metal protection nozzle. Repeat as above for paint removal. HEATING AND SHAPING PLASTIC TUBING Fig.5 Fit the reflector hook nozzle ✬✌(not supplied see optional accessories, page 9). Switch the hot air gun on to the low heat setting (1), carefully heat the tubing evenly moving it from side to side. ✫✌

APPLICATIONS DEFROSTING WATER PIPES Fig.6 IMPORTANT: Do not defrost plastic tubing/piping. Fit the reflector hook nozzle ✭✌(not supplied see optional accessories, page 9). Switch the hot air gun on to the higher heat setting (2), gently heat the frozen area of the pipe starting from the edge of the area and moving in towards the centre. IMPORTANT: take care not to heat the pipe too quickly as this could cause the pipe to crack and burst. Do not overheat water pipe joints as these are only soldered together (max. 200°C). Fig.6 ✭✌

WARNING For your own safety always turn the main switch on the machine OFF and remove the plug from the power source before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting. Check that the air inlet vents are clean and not blocked in any way. IMPORTANT: Please note all repairs/adjustments should be carried out by a qualified person.
