Features

  • Steinel heat guns are used to heat, soften, weld and dry out soft and hard materials by emitting steam with temperatures up to 1250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • These powered guns are connected to an electrical cord and have an elongated body with a pistol-like handle fixed at right angles (90 degrees) and a trigger.
  • The trigger switch is available in diverse styles, including slide, toggle, 2 position & 3 position variants for setting cold, low heat or high heat settings.
  • They have a ceramic heating element for quick heating.
  • These lightweight guns with a hanging ring can be carried easily and operated anywhere with an electrical connection.
  • Some models have a digital LCD screen to display & fine-tune temperature & airflow as per requirement and safety features like automatic overheating cut-out & residual heat indicator.
  • Selected models include sturdy kits (Steinel SV803K) containing heat gun & additional nozzles for application specific use. The kits allow easy storage and transportation.

Working Mechanism

  • Check the recommendation / instruction for maintaining proper distance and degree of heat (temperature setting) for each project / material.
  • Choose between diverse styles of nozzles and attach the selected nozzle to the outlet of the heat gun to concentrate, distribute, protect or reflect the heated air.
  • After the Steinel heat gun is brought close to the application surface, the gun is set at the appropriate temperature setting.
  • Once the trigger for the heat gun is pressed, an equipped fan starts pulling in air from the surrounding.
  • The drawn-in air passes over a heating element set at the desired temperature to produce a stream of hot air.
  • The fan pushes the hot air through the gun's outlet.
  • The gun should be moved around for uniform heating & preventing charring or burning
  • The applied surface may shrink due to the heat.
  • Use a scraper along / behind the gun to strip away loosened paint, if required.

Standards and Approvals

  • UL
  • cUL

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some safety precautions to follow while using Steinel heat guns?

  • Wear protective equipment like safety goggles, heat-resistant gloves & respirator mask ( when working in hazardous applications) when using a heat gun.
  • Users should keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of any fire-related accidents.
  • Use the heat gun in an area with good ventilation and without any dirt / debris.
  • Do not block or cover the heat gun's air inlet grills when the unit is being used.
  • Use the recommended heat setting for desired results.
  • Cool the gun completely after use, before putting it away.

What are the factors responsible for heat guns not working?

If a heat gun is not producing enough heat at different temperatures, the primary reason may be a fault in the heating element. Other reasons may include an improper trigger or electrical connections.
