4. Adjust air pressure by turning knob A1. It is recommended to
keep the knob settingat3 or above. Itis also advised to adjust
the airflow level first before increasing the air temperature to
avoid building of toomuch heaton the hot air gun thus burning
theheatingelement.
NOTE:
If air pressure knob is set to minimum upon switching the SMD
