UNPACKING/ASSEMBLY/OPERATION
Operation - Operating Mode
Whenever the hot air gun is not placed in the holder, and the system is turned on, the unit will be in
operating mode.
Note: To prolong heating element life, always let the unit enter cool down and sleep mode
rst before turning the unit off.
Operation - Cooldown Mode
Whenever the hot air gun is placed in the holder, the system will automatically go into cooldown
mode as follows:
1. The heating element is turned off.
2. The fan will continue to blow cool air until the heating element temperature has gone down
below 100C.
3. The system goes into sleep mode.
4. Lifting the hot air gun from the holder will deactivate the cooldown mode and the system will go
back to operating mode.
Operation - Sleep Mode
Whenever the hot air gun is placed in the holder and the heating element temperature is lower than
100C.
1. The heating element is turned off.
2. The fan is turned off.
3. Lifting the hot air gun from the holder will deactivate the sleep mode.
4. In sleep mode both the power and temperature LED indicator are off.
Operation - Power off
The unit is powered down. Both the heating element and fan are off.
Note: To prolong heating element life, always turn the temperature knob fully counter
clockwise and airow knob to the midpoint after each use.
Calibrating the hot air gun
In some cases, it may be necessary to synchronize the amount of heat delivered by the hot air gun
with an external temperature sensing device. This can be achieved by the following steps:
1. Turn the temperature knob to maximum.
2. Place an external temperature sensing device near the tip of the hot air gun nozzle.
3. Wait for the temperature LED indicator to start ickering and the external temperature readout
has stabilized.
4. Unscrew the calibration screw. Insert a small screw driver into the hole and slowly turn the
calibration utility until the approximate temperature on both devices are synchronized.
