How to use

Charge a compatible 18V battery according to its manufacturer instructions and insert it into the tool before operation. Select the appropriate nozzle or accessory from the kit for the task—narrow nozzles for concentrated heat, wider nozzles for broader surface work. Switch the heat gun on and allow it to reach operating temperature before applying hot air to the workpiece. Maintain a safe distance and move the nozzle steadily to avoid overheating the material; adjust the speed and distance to control heat penetration. After use, switch the tool off, allow it to cool down fully, then remove the battery and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area when removing paint, varnish or adhesives to avoid inhaling fumes. Test heat settings on a small hidden area where possible to determine the correct distance and exposure time for the material. Keep flammable materials away from the work area and follow battery safety instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
