Hot Air Systems
For special applications (external control of heating power or remote measurement of the temperature of the hot-air stream) additional adjusting control devices are available. Use only nozzles and accessories from the LEISTER range. Improperly constructed nozzles can affect the hot air stream and therefore the efficiency of the tool. If the air flow falls short of the specified minimum air flow (see technical data of appropriate heaters) the power supply must be simultaneously interrupted, because otherwise the heating element burns out. All tools, depending on the model, are equipped for use with voltages 120V / 200-230V / 380-400V / 440-480V (50/60Hz) and carry international approval marks. Contact Malcom Company for expert advice and information on the range of Leister tools and accessories available.
