• Handheld, cordless design for portable use
• Intended for thermoplastic welding and surface heating
• Compact and lightweight housing for access to confined areas

How to use

Install a compatible 18V battery (sold separately) according to the manufacturer’s battery mounting instructions and ensure the battery is charged. Select an appropriate nozzle or accessory if available and set the tool to the required temperature, taking into account the plastic type and thickness. Hold the tool at a suitable distance and move evenly along the joint or area to be welded, applying welding rod or pressure as needed. Allow welded areas to cool and solidify before handling. For trimming weld beads or surface smoothing, use reduced temperature settings and steady hand movements to avoid material damage.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fumes from heated plastics. Test on a scrap piece of the same plastic to determine optimal temperature and technique before working on the final part. Store the tool and battery in a cool, dry place and follow YATO safety and maintenance guidelines for battery-powered hand tools.
