Troubleshooting
Tool does not heat up
Ensure the tool is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position. If the issue persists, there might be an internal fault; contact customer support.
Nozzle is difficult to attach/detach
Allow the tool to cool down completely before attempting to change nozzles. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the connection point. Gentle wiggling might help, but avoid forcing it.
Reduced airflow
Check the nozzle for any blockages. Ensure the air intake vents on the tool are not obstructed. Clean any dust or debris from the tool's exterior.
LED light is not working
Check if the LED is properly seated or if there is any visible damage. If the LED fails independently of the heating function, it may require professional servicing.
