Creation of Smoke During Initial Use
A coating protects the metal surfaces from corrosion ex-works. This protective layer evaporates during initial use.
The heat gun may display discolourations on the nozzle (3) due to the production process. These do not count as damage; the functioning of the heat gun is not affected.
Switching On
Slide the on/off switch (2) upwards.
Switching Off
Slide the on/off switch (2) downwards into the 0 position.
- GHG 18-60: After working at high temperatures for a prolonged period, let the power tool cool down by briefly running it at the 50 °C (cooling stage) power setting before switching it off.
Selecting the power setting (GHG 16-50)
You can choose between different power settings using the on/off switch (2):
GHG 16-50 | |||

- When changing from the cooling stage to working stage 1, the speed and therefore the operating sound of the gun do not change.
The cooling stage is suitable for cooling down a heated workpiece or for drying paint. It is likewise suitable for cooling down the heat gun before turning off or replacing the attachment nozzles.
