1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other

connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.

A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current

Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected

by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.2.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified

electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.2.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances

and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.2.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.2.1. and 1.2.2.

and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.2.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.2.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all

connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.2.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply

to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.2.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.2.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.2.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty

item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK

3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.

Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal E.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal L.

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation

extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.2.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure that a

suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.2.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance

plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the

capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of

2.5mm2section cable. If extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

4.1. Preparing the hot air guns for use.

4.1.1. Before plugging into the mains ensure the gun is in the OFF position.

4.1.2. When ready to commence work set power switch to desired temperature setting. Allow one and a half minutes.

4.1.3. STANDING THE GUN ON END: Both guns may be stood on end in an upright (vertical) position.

4.1.4. Ensure the surface on which you will stand the gun is flat, level, and free from dirt.

4.1.5. HS100CE balances on the end of its main body and handle.

4.1.6. HS102 balances on the end of its main body and the metal arm on the end of the handle. The arm may also be used to hang

the gun up in order to cool.

WARNING! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE NOZZLE AREA. IF LEAD PAINT IS BEING REMOVED FOLLOW THE SAFETY

WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION.

4.2. Paint and varnish removal.

The easy removal of paint and varnish requires practice. Follow these simple working techniques to achieve the required result.

NOTE: the heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex based paints and varnishes from surfaces. It will not remove stains

or primer coats that have impregnated the surface of the wood.

4.2.1. Switch the gun on and allow it to reach its operating temperature.

4.2.2. Always test on a small unobtrusive area first. If satisfactory, proceed with the task in hand.

4.2.3. Hold the gun nozzle 3 to 4 from the paint to be removed.

4.2.4. After a short time paint will soften and begin to blister.

4.2.5. Do not overheat the paint as this will cause it to burn making it more difficult to remove. Wear eye protection, especially when

stripping paint from overhead. If lead paint is being removed, refer to the warning at the beginning of this manual.

4.2.6. Begin scraping the paint off. Work from top to bottom. Use a scraper with smooth even strokes, warming the surface in front

of the scraper by moving the gun slightly from side to side.

4.2.7. If the correct temperature has been applied to the paint, thick even layers can be removed in a single pass (paint should

be removed in strips equal in width to the scraper blade).

4.2.8. Keep the scraper blade edge clean and sharp preventing paint peelings from building up.

4.2.9. Scrape paint as soon as it becomes soft, as it will re-harden very quickly.

4.2.10. After softening, shaped or profiled surfaces may be stripped by using a wire brush.

2.1. Be sure the power supply you are using agrees with the plate marking on the Heat Gun. The gun is designed to run on 230V/ 50Hz

alternating current. Voltage decreases greater than 10% can cause loss of power and possible overheating.

2.2. The gun is double insulated for added safety .

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions, but acts as a safeguard against injury resulting

from a possible electrical insulation failure inside the gun.

4.2.11. To protect surrounding surfaces from the heat gun cover with non-flammable material.

IMPORTANT: Do not concentrate the heat gun on windows or glass surfaces as the glass may crack.

Models HS102 and HS102K may be adjusted for use as a Plastic Welding Tool (welding kits available as described in part 3).

5.1. Testing materials to be welded: Most adhesion failures may be due to the incorrect matching of materials. The welding rod

therefore must be of the same material as the item to be welded. For instance, most car body parts are made of ABS material.

Some manufacturers however, use different plastics in their products. To test, snip off a piece of material from the work to be welded

and proceed as follows:

5.1.1. Set light to the sample with a naked flame. If the flame gives off black smoke it is (almost) certain to be ABS.

5.1.2. By sample, take a strip of material from an unobtrusive part of the component and use it as your welding rod.

5.1.3. If in doubt, contact the item manufacturer.

5. PLASTIC WELDING TOOL (HS102 and HS102K ) NOTE: Do not use welding nozzles on model HS100CE.

5.2. Welding the material:

5.2.1. Remove any paint or other covering from the entire adjoining surface areas of the pieces

to be welded.

5.2.2. Cut a chamfer on adjoining pieces to form a groove that can be filled with weld.

5.2.3. Using the hot air gun (without any welding rod loaded) thoroughly pre-heat both surfaces to

be welded (they should be soft but not tacky).

5.2.4. Fit the 9mm reduction nozzle to the gun and the welding nozzle to the reduction nozzle.

5.2.5. Select a low to medium heat by turning the temperature regulator at rear of the gun (fig A).

Experience will determine the setting, but we suggest position 3 which gives 250-350°C as

a starting position for most commonly used plastics.

5.2.6. Select the fan speed setting on the hot air gun according to the size and thickness of material

being welded (i.e. Thin = Low, Thick = High).

5.2.7. Now position the nozzle over the material to be welded and feed the welding rod through the

slot at the same time moving the gun along the groove at a speed according to the melt/

adhesion rate (fig B).

5.2.8. A good connection is made when a small dome forms (a trial is always recommended using

an odd piece of material). With practice, a good flat weld can be achieved by applying

pressure on the nozzle as the rod is drawn along. A roller is available as an optional extra.

5.2.9. Overlapping materials can be removed with a sharp knife.

5.3. Welding problem checklist. If a weld fails ask yourself the following questions:

5.3.1. Do the materials match?

5.3.2. Are both surfaces clean?

5.3.3. Are surfaces chamfered?

5.3.4. Have surfaces been pre-heated correctly?

5.3.5. Did the welding rod melt to the correct consistency?

5.4. Important notes.

5.4.1. To weld over cracks in the material, drill approximately 1/16mm diameter holes at each end

of the crack to prevent running during welding and sanding.

5.4.2. Handling the welding nozzles - The nozzle becomes very hot and should only be removed

with pliers or allowed to cool if removing by hand. Welding nozzles can only be used with

Temperature Regulated Gun HS102/HS102k. DO NOT use the plastic welding nozzles with

HS100CE single heat gun as the small nozzle diameter will cause the gun to overheat.

DANGER: Step 5.1.1 must be performed in a well ventilated area, (out of doors if possible). Never perform task in a domestic building. Safeguard fire. Wear safety gloves

and face mask. DO NOT inhale smoke.

6.1. Keep the air intake and outlet openings clean and free from dirt and peelings.

6.2. Only use a damp cloth and mild household cleaning agent to wipe the gun clean. DO NOT use turpentine, paint thinner,

gasoline, or similar substance to clean the gun.

6.3. Check the gun, power lead, and nozzles for damage before storage.

6.4. Store the gun in a safe dry area.
