2. Safety Information
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the heat gun. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
- High Temperature Hazard: The nozzle and emitted air can reach extremely high temperatures (up to 700 °C / 1300 °F). Avoid direct contact with skin and flammable materials. Allow the tool to cool completely before storing.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power source matches the tool's requirements (120 Volts, 14.8 Amps). Use a grounded outlet. Do not operate in wet conditions or expose to rain.
- Ventilation: Use the heat gun in a well-ventilated area. Heating certain materials can produce toxic fumes.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when operating the heat gun.
- Secure Workpiece: Always secure the workpiece to prevent movement during heating.
- Children and Bystanders: Keep children and bystanders away while operating the tool.
- Residual Heat Indicator: Pay attention to the residual heat indicator. The tool remains hot for a period after being switched off.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
- Plug the heat gun into a suitable grounded power outlet.
- To power on, use the toggle switch located on the handle. The LCD display will illuminate.
- To power off, switch the toggle to the OFF position. The residual heat indicator will remain active until the tool has cooled down sufficiently.
4.2 Temperature Adjustment
The HG 2620 E features digital temperature adjustment via a joystick control, allowing precise setting of the desired heat output.
- Use the joystick to navigate the menu on the LCD display.
- Adjust the temperature within the range of 50 – 700 °C (120 – 1300 °F).
- The LCD display will show the current temperature setting and actual temperature as it heats up.
4.3 Airflow Control
The airflow can be adjusted to suit different applications, from 150 to 500 l/min (2-3 CFM).
- Refer to the LCD display and joystick controls to modify the airflow setting.
- Higher airflow is generally used for faster heating or larger areas, while lower airflow provides more concentrated heat.
4.4 Application Tips
- Always test the heat gun on a scrap piece of material before applying to the actual workpiece to determine the optimal temperature and airflow settings.
- Maintain a safe distance between the nozzle and the workpiece to prevent scorching or damage.
- Move the heat gun in a steady, even motion to ensure uniform heating.
