3. Heat wrapping (Fig. 7)

Use nozzle (flat) to heat-wrap shrink film and tubes. The material will change color or crack if hot air is blown onto it from a close distance, so maintain an appropriate distance while monitoring progress.

4. Forming resin pipes (Fig. 8)

Use nozzle (curved surface) to evenly heat the circumference of the resin pipe.

To prevent the inside of the pipe from narrowing when bending it, etc., pour sand inside, block both ends and then gently bend it.

5. Removing putty from window frames (Fig. 9)

Use nozzle (glass protector) to soften the putty with heat, and then remove the putty with the scraper supplied. Note that glass may crack if heat is continually applied to it.

6. Defrosting water pipes (Fig. 10)

Use nozzle (curved surface) to heat the frozen area from the edge to the center. Do not mistake water pipes for glass pipes.

Take care to avoid damaging frozen resin areas on water pipes.

[Eectively Using the Quick Cooling Button]

Press the quick cooling button and press the switch to blow warm air at approximately 50 degrees Celsius for each of the switch’s wind volumes.

This is used to quickly cool material that is heat- warping and to cool the nozzle when it reaches high temperatures after using the Heat Gun.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

2. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool.

Prevent any foreign objects, oil or water from getting inside the intake.

3. Replacing supply cord

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by Hitachi Authorized Service Center in order to avoid a safety hazard.

4. Cleaning of the outside

When the tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt plastics.
