Use

The hot-air stripper gun is a universal tool that is intended for the thermal processing of various materials.

Areas of application:

• Removing / burning off paint and lacquer from solid substrates
• Warming and drying of surface coating material
• Removal of mould spores
• Forming and welding of plastic parts
• Heating of heat shrink tubing, loosening of cable connections
• Soldering and tinning, thawing of water pipes.

The hot-air stripper gun allows an electronic temperature setting of 50^ - 650^ at an air flow rate of 250 to 500l / min .

Double insulation

Our appliances are designed for maximum user safety in compliance with European regulations (EN standards). Machines with double insulation always have international kite marks. The machines do not need to be earthed. A two-wire cable is sufficient. The machines are suppressed in line with EN 55014.

Safety and accident prevention

Before starting to use this machine please read through the entire operating instructions carefully, follow the safety instructions contained in this manual, and observe the general safety precautions for power tools. If there are any ambiguities, please contact us immediately. Do not use the machine if you are uncertain of any aspect. By starting to use the machine you confirm that you have read and fully understood this manual.

The device possesses a voltage range which can pose an electrical hazard to humans and animals. It should only be unscrewed and / or disassembled by authorised personnel.

Likewise, maintenance and repair work should only be performed by STORCH, or by service stations authorised by STORCH. This device is operated at the sole responsibility and risk of the purchaser / user.

Personal Safety

Caution: Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A momentary lapse in concentration can result in serious injuries.

Wear personal protective equipment such as respirators, safety goggles and hand protection. Make sure you are standing on a non-slip surface and that it is safe to work.

Prevent the device from being started accidentally. Make sure that the device is switched off before connecting it to the power supply.

Always wear appropriate clothing. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery should be kept at a safe distance from the hot parts of the device.

General information that must be observed:

The hot-air stripper gun generates a supply of hot air up to max. 650^ . This high temperature is achieved by air flowing past a red-hot heating element. When the gun is set to the max. temperature setting the heating element will generate a bright red heat, however it will not produce an open flame. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of fire. Therefore, you should be particularly careful when handling flammable and combustible substances! Always keep a fire extinguisher handy!

Risk of fire when working on buildings!

Never use the device in rooms containing flammable materials, liquids or gases.

Caution: There is a risk of fire and explosion when working with plastics, paints, varnishes and other similar materials. Toxic gases may also be produced, so make sure you work in a well-ventilated area!

Never use the device if it is damp; do not use the device in damp rooms, or outdoors in the rain.

When the gun is switched on, never aim it at the same spot for too long: risk of fire!

Make sure the exhaust pipe does not come into contact with any objects during or immediately after use! Place the gun in such a way that the hot pipe is unable to cause any damage.

Do not obstruct the air intake or hot air outlet. Clean the air intake at regular intervals by using a soft brush.

Never use additional nozzles that change the cross-section of the delivery outlet, unless they have been approved for use by the manufacturer; the heat backlog this causes will damage the device.

The device has been designed in such a way that it generates a concentrated jet of hot air without any additional nozzles.

Never direct the jet of hot air at anyone and do not look directly into nozzle opening on the exhaust pipe.

Never leave the device switched on and unattended!

The device should only be switched on and off by using the power switch; never switch it on or off by inserting the mains plug into, or pulling it from, the socket!

If the motor fails, switch off the device immediately to avoid heat building up in the device.

Caution: Risk of burning from the metal exhaust pipe! Do not touch!

Keep the hot air gun away from children!

Do not use the device as a hairdryer (risk of burning)!

After use, place the device on the supporting surfaces intended for this purpose (see device description) on a sturdy, non-flammable surface and allow the device to cool down completely before placing it in the carrying case or storing it elsewhere.

Commissioning

Before commissioning the device, please check to ensure the mains voltage corresponds with the specifications on its rating plate. Before use, make sure the housing and cable are undamaged. Check the functionality of the device prior to each use. In the event of a defect, please contact a STORCH workshop immediately.

The hot-air stripper gun has been designed in such a way that it can be operated easily, and without additional parts, as follows:

1. as a handheld device
2. as a desktop unit in vertical operation (free-standing unit such as a Bunsen burner)

Switching on the device

The device is set to continuous operation by pressing the switch (9) in the handle. When used in connection with the control panel (7 and 8), the two switching stages in the handle result in the following operating modes:

Switch setting in the handle (9)	Air flow rate (8) Temperature (7)
1 250 - 500 l / min. max. 50°C
2 250 - 500 l / min. 50°C to 650°C

Please observe the following sections "Setting the temperature" and "Setting the air flow rate".

Setting the temperature

The temperature can be increased and decreased in intervals of 10^ via the control panel (7). To increase the temperature press the left-hand button (+) ; to decrease the temperature press the right-hand button (-) . Either tap the buttons briefly or press and hold the buttons until the desired temperature setting is reached.

When doing this please note the maximum temperature, which depends on the two respective stages of the switch. The maximum temperature is only possible in switching stage 2. If switching stage 1 is selected, the maximum temperature is 50^ . The setting you have selected can be read in the LCD display (6).

Attention

Do not drop the device - the ceramic heating element that is located inside the device is particularly sensitive to shock and impact.

Setting the air flow rate

The air flow rate can be adjusted in five stages via the control panel (8). The settings you have selected can be read in the LCD display (6).

Switching off the device

Switch off the device by setting the handle switch to position "O". The fan now switches off completely and the heating element is no longer heated. Place the device vertically on the supporting surfaces intended for this purpose and allow it to cool down completely before storing or transporting it again.

Tip: To speed up the cooling process, switch the device to stage 1 and leave it run for a few minutes at 50^ and 500l / min . This will enable the device to cool down much quicker.

Memory function

The temperature and air flow rate last selected are retained after switching off the device. The next time it is switched on the hot-air stripper gun will revert to the last selected setting.

Cleaning

Make sure the air intake openings (4) on the housing are kept open at all times and clean the cool device regularly with a soft cloth.

Additional information

Some smoke may be produced when you use the device for the first time. This is normal and will stop after a short while.

Always determine the correct operating temperature for the respective activity. First check the properties of the material to be processed at the lowest temperature setting and then gradually increase the amount of air flow in an inconspicuous area.

The temperature will drop if the distance between the air outlet / nozzle and the material being processed decreases.

The temperature is dependent on the material you are working on.
