Constant Heat Control (overload
protection)
When the tool is overloaded, this feature protects the heating
element from damage without stopping the tool and/or without a
cool down period
1. When the temperature gets too hot, the heating element
switches itself off. The motor will continue to run and produce
cold air.
2. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently (taking only a few
seconds) the heating element will switch on automatically.

Cool Down Period
The nozzle and accessory becomes very hot during use. Turn heat
gun off, disconnect from the power source and let the tool cool
down for at least 30 minutes before moving or storing it.

air temperature setting and let it run for a few minutes before turning
the heat gun off.
