WHAT MAKES A QUALITY HEAT GUN?
STEINEL heat guns incorporate state-of-the-art technology to produce the most precise
durable tools available. User controlled temperature, airflow and the ability to reduce heat
down to a pinpoint are features that combine to ensure a perfect job every time.
Programmable Output with LOC™
Select tools feature four customizable preprogrammed
settings that allow a user to set the temperature and
airflow. Additionally, the output of these guns can be
locked-down, providing ultimate quality control.
Electronic Thermocouple Control
A temperature sensor in the output nozzle feeds information
to the on board microprocessor, which adjusts automatically
to achieve the desired air temperature output.
DuraTherm™ Heating Element
Coils are wound through a series of ceramic disks
achieving full encapsulation. This provides even heat
and added support helps to prevent coil breakage.
Interconnect Block Circuitry
Plastic is injection molded around the "wiring" to form a
solid block, which will not break or disconnect like
traditional wiring.
The pages that follow explain a number of basic
processes. The various tips are of interest to
professionals and tradesmen. Always follow
basic safety procedures.
For your safety
Fresh air
is important when working with hot air. Softening
up paint may release solvents, soldering
produces vapors from the additives used, and
vapors are also generated when welding plastic.
This is why you should always work outdoors or
with the window open if work has to be done in
small rooms.
Working in the presence of water
with electrical power tools is dangerous. When
using a heat gun, never work above or next to
uncovered water.
Testing
is the magic word when it comes to
experimenting with hot air. Therefore always
carry out a trial run first before attempting any
new application. Check the airflow rate,
temperature and compatibility of the hot air with
the material you intend to work on.
Safe Operation
Be careful to avoid personal injury. Air heated to
over 200°F (100°C) damages hair and injures
skin. A heat gun can reach up to 1300°F (700°C).
Never direct heat gun at hair, skin or other
unprotected body parts.
