SOURCE: Heat Guns Troubleshooting

Uses for the heat gun include: * drying paint or varnish - 30 to 130 °C - care has to be taken as dust particles may be blown onto the paint/varnish. * drying out damp wood (before filling or painting) - around 100 to 200°C. * softening adhesive (such as when applying worktop edge trim or lifting floor tiles) - 300 to 400°C. * bending plastic pipes - 200 to 300°C. * heat-shrinking plastic film - 200 to 300°C. * welding some plastics - 330 to 400°C.

SOURCE: Weller model 550PK heavy-duty soldering gun is slow to heat up

It depends on what you say is slow, I have used weller soldering guns and desoldering guns for about 30 years. They come up to top heat in about 3min. If it is taking longer than that then there is a problem with the heating unit. You can call weller tech help number, should be on iron base and they can tell you how to test the heat unit.

SOURCE: i have a brand new makita hg5002k heat gun,i use

do you make sure to cool it down after use before switching off.

if switched off imediately after using on hot, the heat from the elements will keep increasing , causing short life of heating element and maybe the gun has a thermal trip that needs to cool down before it will switch back on. This sounds like what is happening with your machine.

shutdown instructions are in the users manual.

hope this helps

SOURCE: Dryer does not heat up.

The following link explains how to troubleshoot an electric dryer with a no heat problem:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r630242-dryer_runs_but_not_heat

First, begin by unplugging the dryer and verifying the voltage at the wall receptacle. You should read 220-240VAC across the two Hot terminals (left and right slots). If the voltage is incorrect, check to make sure you don't have a breaker tripped. Some homes use 2 separate 120VAC breakers to provide power to the receptacle vice using one 240VAC breaker.

If the voltage IS correct, leave the dryer unplugged and remove the cover plate on the terminal block in the back of the dryer (this is where the power cord is installed). Plug the dryer back in and take a voltage reading across the two hot (RED and BLACK) wires at the terminal block. You should read 220-240VAC. If the voltage is good, you have an internal heating problem. If the voltage is bad at the terminal block, but good at the receptacle, you have a bad power cord.

The reason a dryer will still run if the input voltage is incorrect, is because the drive motor only uses a portion of the 220 service. The motor runs off 110-120VAC, while the heating circuits require 220-240VAC. So, if you are missing 1/2 your input voltage due to a tripped breaker or bad power cord, your dryer will exhibit these symptoms.

If you determine the problem to be internal, the heating circuits will either be located in the rear of the washer on the right hand, or under the dryer drum on the right hand side. Usually, an easy way to determine is by the location of the lint screen filter. If the filter is on top of the dryer, the heating circuits are in the back of the dryer. If the lint screen is in the door, the heating circuits are located under the dryer drum.

All dryers are not constructed the same. However, generally, the Heating Element is located inside the heater box. The Thermal Cut-Out (TCO) will be located on the outside of the heater box on the end opposite the heating element terminals. The Hi-Limit Thermostat will be located adjacent to the heating element terminals. If either the TCO or Hi-Limit Thermostat are determined to be bad, replace both components at the same time. That is why these components are commonly sold as a set. Failure to do so may result in premature failure of any parts you replace. All these parts can be found at appliancepartspros.com, searspartsdirect.com, pcappliancerepair.com, or repairclinic.com. The average cost of these components varies, so shop around for the best price.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.

Dragonhawk tattoo gun

Friend had this same issue, here's how I fixed it, and hopefully it'll work for you (and anyone else with this issue.)

First is the copper screw thing at the top of the gun. It needs to be just barely touching the flexible metal bar below it. It's very finicky; the distance between too far away and touching it too much is very Very small. At the proper distance, it should hum and/or spark. Large sparks are normal when it's brand new; they'll disappear pretty quick though, so don't worry if it happens.

If it's humming and sparking properly but the needle isn't moving, it's probably that the needle guide (holder? nib? The translucent green part whatever it's called) could be too high up, causing the needle itself to get stuck and not have room to move up and down. Simply loosen the screw that holds the nib in place, lower it until the needle is only slightly exposed, and tighten the screw again.

It worked for my friends gun, so hopefully it'll work for yours too.

images are the full gun, close up of the copper screw thing, close up of the nib/needle, and diagram attempting to explain the nib distance a little bit more.

The Ungar we use at work was working just fine. Tried turning it on after only a short time of usage to shrink some shrink on a cable and she wouldn't fire up. Pulled her apart and can't see any really...

When testing a diode you need to lift one end of the component to prevent a second path of continuity. If you lift one end, and you have continuity in both directions when reversing the polarity, it would be shorted or defective. Does your Fluke have a Diode or Semiconductor setting? This will show you the voltage drop for the N/P junction which will be a better test than using the Ohm setting. If the diodes check good, test the motor windings, switch and heating element.

While thawing ice from rain downspouts, gun shut off. Gun did not get wet. Waited 3 days and gun will not start. Is there a reset anywhere inside gun? Any suggestions? Thank You

Just a wild guess. The heat gun has a thermal cutoff switch just like a hair dryer that will interrupt the voltage when the temperature gets too high. That temperature can get too high if you get the output nozzel too close to the work area and heat builds up inside the gun and operates the thermal switch. Usually the spring loaded thermal switch will return to normal after the switch cools down. apparently not so with your gun. The spring either broke,jamed or the contacts on the switch broke. You can use a multimeter to check this out, or temporarly jumper around the switch to see if it will turn on, but do not leave the jumper on too long as that is sort of dangerous.

Does not melt solder

The body contains a transformer, which steps your 120AC down to a lower voltage. The lower voltage runs THROUGH the tip, heating it up. Possibility ONE: Transformer is no good, throw it away. TWO: Not enough current is running through tip, because tip is corroded OR those mounting nuts are corroded, loose, OR somebody put new tip into nuts but neglected to bend both legs of new tip 90 degrees. Look at the barrels, you will see little holes in the sides, tip's legs go into those holes.

Glue Gun Troubleshooting

1. Insert your wax stick into a standard sized glue gun. The fit may be tight. The more wax you use, the smoother the fit. 2. Use a second wax stick in the gun to help advance the first, if needed. 3. Heat the gun up to temperature. 4. Do a few test pulls on the gun to get a feel for the quantity of wax you would like to use with your seal. (Two good pulls of the trigger will produce a full seal for the larger sealing coins.) 5. Wait for 10-15 seconds, then press your seal firmly into the wax before it hardens. 6. Lift the seal slowly off the wax. If it comes away and the wax is still quite soft, wait a little longer before pressing the seal down.

Heat Guns Safety tips

Although safer than using a naked-flame blowlamp, care is still required when using a heat gun. Specific point are: * Because of the power of these tools (up to 2000W), when an extension lead is necessary, only use a lead rated at 10 amp or greater and always completely unwind the lead. * Never obstruct or cover the air inlet grills. If the air flow is reduced the heat gun will overheat and possible catch fire. * Never operate the heat gun with the outlet nozzle hard up against a surface, this will reduce the air and can have the same effect as obstructing the air inlet grills, * Do not use a heat gun near inflammable materials. * Always switch the tool off before putting it down on any surface. * Allow the tool to cool before storing it. * Do not place the nozzle next to anything whilst it is hot. * Never touch the hot metal nozzle with clothing or skin. * Do not use for stripping lead-based paints. * Do not allow any paint to stick to the nozzle - and if some paint does stick, allow the gun to cool down and remove the paint. * Do not look down the nozzle while the gun is turned on. * Do not insert anything down the nozzle with the gun.

Panasonic Projection T.V.

Hello icdsr,

Let me start off by explaining what is happening. You have a component that has become thermally sensitive meaning that as the component heats up it begins to malfunction. This sometimes happens as the result of a catastrophic event to the TV such as powering it up after a foreign substance has been put on the circuit board and a short has occurred. Now the swapping out of the Power Supply/Sweep board is the quick and fast thing to do (the only option given by "TV Repair" shops these days, sad but true) it is not the only option that is possible, but you are going to have to do some looking for a shop that does component level troubleshooting. There are some things you can do, but I would suggest that you have a qualified TV repair person work on your set because of the dangerous voltages that are present in the sections you will be working in if you try to do this yourself.
 
Ok first dry out the set using a hair dryer on high to do this, and don't have the set plugged in.
Wait for a day or two after drying out the set to plug it back in.
Turn on the set and wait for it to cut off.
When it cuts off notice if you heard a clicking sound prior to it cutting off.
If you hear this clicking sound this means that the shutdown circuit senses an over-current condition and is shutting down the TV.
Once you have determined this you will have to have these following items.
1) a schematic
2) a multimeter
3) a flashlight
4) an isolation transformer
5) an oscilloscope
6) a High Voltage probe (both 1000v and 40Kv type)
7) freeze spray
8) heat gun or hair dryer
 
These items will help you in troubleshooting this problem. If you do not know what these items are, I would not advise you working on this set yourself and the option of getting a shop that does component level service is the best option for you.
 
How ever if you want to do this yourself get these items and I'll be glad to walk you through the process.
 
This are the first things you must do:
 
Plug the TV into the isolation transformer and the isolation transformer into the power outlet on the wall.
Turn on the isolation transformer and set the voltage to about 90Vac (not 110Vac or 120Vac).
Examine if the set turns off or not over time (if it does this will give you a window in which you must use the schematic and your other equipment to find the area that is causing the problem (this will take some time and some knowledege).
After you find the area you then will use the freeze spray and heat gun to stress the components in that area, the heat gun should speed up the shut down process, and the freeze spray should make the on time increase, this allows you to narrow down the area to a single component or components.
 
This is the basis of what you must do if you plan on doing this yourself.
 
I wish you well,
Thank you,
