HG 2310 LCD 230v Heat

ESD Safe Programmable IntelliTemp™ Heat Gun
ESD safe programmable heat gun with LOC Lockable Override Control™ of temperature and airflow output settings. LCD display enables temperature selection in 10°F increments.

Operation

The tool is switched ON and OFF at the multi-stage switch on the back of the grip handle. The distance from the object you are working on depends on material and intended method of working. Always try out the air flow and temperature on a test piece first. Using the attachable accessory nozzles the flow of heat can be controlled with maximum precision. Take care when changing hot nozzles! When using the heat gun in the self-resting position, make sure it is standing on a stable, non-slip and clean surface. The outlet protection tube can be removed in order to install the overhead security hanger.

Setting the temperature

Stage 1 is the cool air stage. Use the cool air function for drying paint, cooling workpieces or to cool the nozzle before changing an accessory attachment. In stage 2 temperature can be infinitely varied over a range of 120 °F to 1200 °F on the control panel with LCD display. The actual temperature is measured at the nozzle outlet and indicated on the display. The red push button on the left-hand side is used as an input button with minus/plus function. Temperature settings range from 120 °F to 1200 °F max. Briefly pressing the “+” / “–” push button increases or reduces the temperature setting in 10 ° steps. Pressing the button for longer speeds up the temperature setting process. Once the temperature has been set, the tool takes a few seconds to reach temperature (depending on speed/airflow). If you want to alter the setting, simply press either button to increase or reduce the temperature. After switching OFF, the heat gun stays in the last setting.

Setting airflow

The grey button panel on the right below the display is used for regulating airflow and blower speed. Airflow can be controlled in several stages using the “+/–” function and can be varied from a minimum of 3.6 cf/min. to a maximum of 17.6 cf/min. Use the cool air stage function for drying paint, cooling workpieces or to cool the  nozzle before changing an accessory attachment.

Memory function

The settings for the four programs can be changed and saved at any time. To do this, press the first program button “P” until the display shows the program you wish to change. Set the chosen airflow and temperature. Now press the memory button “–>” until the “–>” symbol is cleared from the display (approx. 5 sec). The values entered are now saved in the program memory. To return to normal operation, press the program button until the program symbol disappears from the display.

”LOC” function

Authorized quality Control personnel may lock down the heat gun’s output to one specific temperature/airflow combination using the ”LOC” Lockable Override Control feature.

Applications:

• Stripping paint
  • Paint is softened and can be removed with a stripping knife and paint scraper to leave a clean surface.
• Shrinking tubing on cables
  • The shrink tubing is slipped over the section you want to insulate and heated. The tubing shrinks  by approx. 50% in diameter to give a sealed union. Shrinking is particularly fast and even using reflector nozzles. Sealing and stabilizing cable breaks, insulating soldered joints, gathering cable runs, sheathing terminal blocks.
• Forming PVC
  • Sheeting, piping or ski boots can be softened and formed with heat.
• Lighting the barbecue
  • Gets charcoal glowing in next to no time; no more waiting.
• Thawing
  • Water pipes, frozen door locks, steps. Gently thaws and dries all in one go.
• Soft soldering
  • First, clean metal parts you want to join. Then, heat the point you want to solder and offer up the soldering wire. Use flux or a soldering wire with a flux core to prevent oxide forming.
• Welding and joining plastic
  • All parts being welded must be ofthe same plastic material. Use an appropriate welding rod.
• De-soldering
  • Circuit boards and other electronic components may be soldered or de-soldered using a reduction tip fitted on an electronic heat gun.
• Joining sheeting
  • The sheets are overlapped and welded together. A slit nozzle is used to direct heat under the overlap, then the two sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller. Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding with a slit nozzle.
