Dear Customer,
You have chosen a high-quality product. To ensure that you get a lot of enjoyment from this product, here are a few more tips:
Information relevant to energy consumption:
This product is only suitable for well-insulated rooms or for occasional use.
In case of any problems:
We hope that the unit meets your expectations! If, despite the greatest possible care, there should ever be cause for complaint, please contact us briefly, as we are very concerned about your satisfaction and would like to clear up any misunderstanding.
During the first operation:
As the heating elements are covered with a light film of oil at the factory for reasons of protection, you will notice a slight smell of burning and possibly also some smoke during the first operation. This is quite normal at first and is caused by the fact that the oil film is now burnt by the heating elements during operation.

Important safety instructions:

  • Only use the recommended voltage for operating the unit!
  • The heater is not suitable for use outdoors or in other wet or damp environments!
  • Please note that the heater can become very hot during operation, so keep a sufficient distance from flammable or easily combustible objects at all times!
  • Do not place the heater directly next to a power socket!
  • Do not use a timer or automatic on/off switch in conjunction with this heater!
  • Never use the heater on moving surfaces, objects or vehicles! There is a risk that the heater may tip over.
  • It is recommended to use a separate power source (socket) only for the supply of the heater. (Please do not use multiple sockets to operate the heater) !

Features and benefits:

  • Thermostat for regulating and setting the desired temperature (heating switches off – fan continues to run)
  • Overheating protection and protection against dripping water
  • Pure fan operation also possible without a heating function
  • Stepless temperature control (0 ~ 85°C)

Assembly:

Figure 1: Mounting the feet
The housing of the heat gun has two openings (B) on both sides (left and right) for attaching the V-shaped feet (A). Make sure that the shorter end of the feet is facing backward. Take two M8 x 40mm screws (D) and slide a washer (C) onto each. Now insert the screws through the mounting holes of the feet and slide a washer (E) onto
each of the screws. Now screw the feet to the enclosure by fixing the screws in the holes (B). Do this for both sides.
Figure 2: Mounting the axle and wheels
Take the wheel axle (F) and guide it through the holes at the lower end of the feet so that the axle protrudes equally on both sides. Secure the position of the axle by inserting a cotter pin (G) through the holes provided on both sides and fastening it (see picture 2). Now put a washer (H), a wheel (J) and again a washer (H) on each of the protruding sides of the axle. Now screw a nut (L) to the end of each axle and tighten it well.
Figure 3: Mounting the transport handle
Take the four M5 x 50mm screws (Q) and slide a washer (P) over each one. Place the U-shaped transport handle (M) on the feet (N) as shown in the picture and align the transport handle so that the two holes in the transport handle overlap with the two holes in the feet. Now take the four screws and insert two on each side through the
holes to connect the transport handle to the feet. Then slide a washer (P) and a spring washer (T) onto the protruding ends of the screws. Finally, attach a nut (S) to each end of the bolt and tighten it well so that everything is firmly and securely connected and mounted.
Now you can put your heat gun into operation!

Instructions for use

  1. Commissioning
    1.1. You need a suitable power cable for the connection. This connection cable is not included in the scope of delivery, please use a connection cable with the following specification for this purpose:

Aktobis AG WDH-BGC30 Electric Heat Gun \(30 kW\) with integrated fan -
4

  1. 1. Five-pole power connection 380V/415V (50/60Hz, 63A)
  2. Five-core power cable H07RN-F (5G 10 mm²)
  3. Five-pole power plug 380V/415V (50/60Hz, 63A)
    1.2. Connect the power cable properly to the heater. To do this, open the protective flap of the five-pole power connection (see fig. below). Now connect the plug head of the power cable to the socket provided for this purpose on your unit. It is important that the power connection is firmly and properly seated in the connection socket of the unit. Finally, connect the power plug properly to a power socket.
    1.3. Select the desired unit power with the operating power adjustment knob (left-hand knob).
    = Off
    = Fan operation
    = Level 1 (small operating power with 15 kW heating power)
    = Level 2 (high operating power with 30 kW heating power)
    1.4. Now set the desired temperature switch-off point (0 ~ 85° C) with the stepless thermostat control dial (righthand knob). It is best to do this as follows: Turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature (MAX.) and let the heater run until your desired temperature value is reached. Now turn (adjust) the control downwards towards the minimum until the heating function switches off automatically. Now leave the control dial (thermostat) in this position and whenever it gets colder in the room, the heating rod automatically starts to heat and when the adjusted temperature is reached again, the heating rod automatically switches off again! Note: The fan of the heater is not controlled by the thermostat. If the selected target temperature is reached, the heating element switches off automatically, but the fan continues to run!

Switch off


To switch off the unit, turn the stepless thermostat control knob (right-hand knob) to a minimum (MIN) and let the unit run in fan mode for about 5 minutes to allow it to cool down. Afterward, also turn the operating strength adjustment knob to “0” to switch off the unit completely.
