THE ABC'S OF HEAT GUN SAFETY
Read all safety warnings and instructions before
using your heat gun. They're
pretty reasonable, and neglecting them may bring a touch of electric shock, fire,
and/or serious injury to your heat gun-ing sessions. There are other (and much
better) ways to get your adrenaline going.
Save this manual for future reference, review in between uses, and make sure
that anyone who's going to test your new heat gun has read and fully understood
all the information in here as well.
In case this manual happens to disappear in the black hole all manuals seem to go
into, you can get a digital version of it at https://nocry.com/pages/instructions, or
by letting us know to [email protected].
So, let's get to it, shall we?

Only use your heat gun for its intended purpose. That includes the forming
and welding of plastic, removal of paint and the warming of heat-shrinkable
tubing, soldering and tinning, loosening of adhesive joints, and the defrosting
of water lines.
Be aware of the fact that your heat gun produces heat, lots of it. Make sure
to not operate it around flammable or explosive materials and spaces.
Do not direct the hot air flow to the same spot for too long. Among other
things, doing this may help develop flammable gases when working with
plastic, paint, varnish or similar materials.
Never point the heat gun at yourself, other people or animals. Also, please do
not use it for cooking food. It's not a hairdryer either.
Keep the cord and your digits away from the metal nozzle. The nozzles
become very hot, so always use heat resistant gloves when handling them.
Also, make sure to never obstruct the air flow from the gun.
Let your heat gun cool down completely before putting it in storage. Do it by
laying the gun on its back, so that the nozzle does not touch any surfaces and
thus don't damage them.
Do not leave the heat gun unattended while it's turned on or plugged in.
Pretty obvious, but needs to be said.
Do not use your heat gun if it doesn't work as it should, or if the cord is
damaged. Get it repaired or replaced before using. If you should have any
problems or concerns about anything, anything at all, let us know by emailing
Clean the heat gun after every use. Especially pay attention to removing dry
paint from the nozzle and scraper frequently, as it can ignite.
Do not take unnecessary risks by trying to reach areas that are obviously too
far away to reach safely. Keep proper footing and balance at all times - it'll
help you keep control in unexpected circumstances, whether it be the heat gun

slipping out of your hands, or someone deciding it would be fun to attempt to
pull a jumpscare on you in your workshop.
Do not abuse the cord. The cord isn't the reason you're having a bad day - and
it won't be, if you don't use it for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the heat gun,
and will keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the power
source, picking up, or carrying the heat gun. Also, unplug your heat gun
before making any adjustments, putting it in storage, or when the power
supply is interrupted.
Make sure that anyone using your heat gun or servicing it is acquainted with
this manual. The exception to the rule are children and infirm people - they
shouldn't be using your heat gun even if they remember every word written
here.
To keep your heat gun well-maintained, regularly check if any parts are
misaligned, damaged or broken, or if there's anything else that might affect its
performance. If you notice anything odd, definitely bring the heat gun for repair
before
using it.
Work or repairs on the heat gun should only be carried out by a professional.
It’s best to leave the really serious stuff to a qualified repair person who only
uses original replacement parts.
Avoid bodily contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, stoves, and refrigerators.
Work area safety
✔
Keep your working area clean, well illuminated and well ventilated. Accidents
are much more likely to happen in dirty, unorganised, or poorly lit workspaces -
accidents that are easy to avoid with basic upkeep.

Consider your working environment. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
When working outside, use an extension cord meant specifically for outdoor
use, and of an appropriate length. It's going to be much more convenient, and
will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Your heat gun is not waterproof or splash proof. Do not use it in the rain,
spray with water, or immerse in liquid. It's an electric tool after all.
If damp conditions are unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Secure any movable workpiece(s) you're working on. A workpiece secured
with suitable clamps or in a vice is much more likely to be steady and stay in
place than one held by hand.
Keep children and bystanders away. Distractions can easily cause you to lose
control, so consider operating your power tools a solo venture. You'll catch up
with everyone later, when you've made progress with your project.
If you absolutely must have children in the working area, ensure that they're
always closely supervised by another, responsible
, adult, and do not interfere
with your work.
Personal safety
✔
Certified eye and heat resistant hand protection is a must when operating
your heat gun, as well as respiratory protection, if the working conditions are
dusty. Do not underestimate the power of personal safety equipment. By the
way, everyday eye glasses are not
safety glasses.
6
✔
Common sense is the best protection, isn't it? Stay alert - watch what you're
doing, exercise common sense, and do not operate the heat gun when you're
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or strong medication.
NB #1: Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue,
and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1992 paint may
contain lead, and paint applied to homes prior to 1970 is likely to contain lead.
Once deposited on surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact can result in ingestion of
lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Before
beginning paint removal, determine whether the paint contains lead at your local
health department or by a professional using a paint analyzer. Lead based paint
should only be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a heat
gun.
NB #2: NoCry Work & Safety Gear and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any
changes made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
HOW TO USE YOUR HEAT GUN
How to switch the heat gun on/off
To switch it on, push the on-off switch to the position “I” or “II”. Some smoke may
be emitted after switching it on for the first time, but no worries - that is called
burn-in smoke, and does not indicate a problem.
To switch it off, push the on-off switch to the position “O”.
7
How to prevent overheating
There isn't really much you need to do, as the heat gun has a built-in thermal
protection system. In case of overheating (e.g. due to air build-up), it automatically
shuts off the heating system - but the blower continues to run. When the heat gun
has cooled down to the operating temperature, the heating system is automatically
switched on again.
However. Do not keep the nozzle too close to the workpiece, as it leads to
excessive hot air build-up, which will lead to overheating. And after operating the
heat gun at a high temperature for a longer period, switch to the position “I” for a
while before switching the heat gun off completely. That's it.
How to use the heat gun for removing varnish or softening
adhesives
Mount the wide jet nozzle
(included). Briefly soften the
varnish applying hot air and
remove it using a sharp, clean
scraper or putty knife. Applying
heat too long will burn the varnish,
making it more difficult to remove.
Many adhesives (e.g. of stickers)
become soft when heated. Heated adhesives allow for bonds to be separated or
excessive adhesive to be removed.
8
How to use the heat gun for removing varnish or paint from
windows
Using of the glass protection
nozzle (included) is essential, as
there is a danger of the glass
breaking from the applied heat. On
profiled surfaces, varnish can be
removed using an appropriately
fitting spatula and brushed off with
a soft wire brush.
How to use the heat gun for shaping plastic tubing
Mount the reflector nozzle
(included). To avoid kinking of the
tubing, fill the tubing with sand, and
plug both ends. Heat the tubing
evenly by applying the heat from
side to side.
9
How to use the heat gun for welding plastic
Mount the reduction nozzle
(included) and the welding shoe
(not included). The workpieces to
be welded and the welding rod
(accessory) must be of the same
material (e.g. both of PVC). The
seam must be clean and
grease-free.
Carefully heat up the seam location until it becomes doughy. Please note that the
temperature difference between the doughy and liquid state of plastic is low.
Feed in the welding rod and allow it to run into the gap so that a uniform bead is
produced.
How to use the heat gun for shrinking
Mount the reduction nozzle
(included). Select the diameter of
the heat-shrinkable sleeve (not
included) according to the
workpiece (e.g. a cable lug). Heat
the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.
10
How to use the heat gun for defrosting water pipes
Before heating pipes, check to make sure that it is actually a water pipe. Water lines
often do not differ in appearance from gas lines. Gas lines are not to be heated
under any circumstances.
Place on the reflector nozzle
(included). Heat the frozen zone
from the outside to the middle.
Heat up plastic pipes as well as
connections between pipe pieces
especially careful to prevent
damage.
How to use the heat gun for soft soldering
For point soldering, place on the
reduction nozzle, for the soldering
of pipes/tubing, place on the
reflector nozzle (both accessories
included).
If solder without flux is used, apply
soldering grease or paste to the
location to be soldered. Warm the
location to be soldered for 50–120
seconds depending on the
material. Apply the solder. The
solder must melt from the
workpiece temperature. After the soldered location has cooled, remove the flux.
11
MAINTENANCE
Before any work on the heat gun itself, pull the mains plug. For safe and proper
working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by an
authorized service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. Use only mild soap and
damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the heat gun, and never
immerse any part of it into a liquid.
