How to use

Select the appropriate temperature setting for the material and task (300 °C for delicate work, 550 °C for heavy-duty heating). Hold the HL 1821 S by its ergonomic pistol grip and position the nozzle at a safe distance from the workpiece. Move the hot air gun steadily to achieve even heating; avoid concentrating heat on one spot for too long. Allow heated materials to cool or set as required. Switch the tool off and let it cool down before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when operating the hot air gun. Keep flammable materials away from the working area and ensure adequate ventilation. For insulation or shrink tasks, maintain a consistent distance between nozzle and material; for paint stripping or welding, test on a small area first to determine the correct temperature and distance.
