# Practical advice

Note: Do not position the nozzle (1) too close to the workpiece that you are using the power tool on. The resulting air blockage can lead to the heat gun overheating.

## Removing the heat shield

When working in particularly tight spaces, you can remove the heat shield (2) by turning it.

- Caution: Nozzle is hot! Working without the heat shield increases the risk of burns.

To remove or put on the heat shield (2), switch the heat gun off and let it cool down.
