Intended Use; Assembly And Adjustments - DeWalt D26411 Instruction Manual

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. D
if this tool does not operate, check power supply.
COMPONENTS (FIG. A)

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a
complete list of components.

INTENDED USE

Your D WALT heat gun D26411/D26414 has been designed
e
for stripping paint, soldering pipes, shrinking PVC, welding
and bending plastics as well as general drying and
thawing purposes.
Do NoT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
This heat gun is a professional power tool.
Do NoT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use
this tool.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Setting the Air Temperature (Fig. A)
D26411
The air temperature can be adjusted to suit a wide range of
applications. Turn the air temperature adjustment knob
clockwise or counterclockwise for higher or lower heat.
D26414
• Press and release the LCD air temperature indicator and
adjuster to set the desired temperature in
4
10˚ C increments.
• To continously increase or decrease the temperature
press and hold the LCD air temperature indicator
and adjuster 4 .
• Release the indicator when desired temperature or
minimum/maximum temperature is reached.
• The display shows the actual rising/falling temperature
until the desired temperature is reached.
Set and Forget Temperature
Control System
D26414
The desired temperature is stored in the memory of the
tool. Each time the heat gun is turned on, the heat gun
heats to the last temperature setting, with respect to air
flow. If unsure about the setting, always start with a low
temperature setting and gradually increase the temperature
until the desired setting is reached.
