After Use - Skil 8007 Original Instructions Manual

• Keep work area clean and well lit
• Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be affected (if the system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0,10 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely
to occur); if you need further clarification, you may
contact your local power supply authority
• Stay alert; watch what you are doing, use common sense
and do not operate the tool when you are tired
• Take a secure stance; do not overreach, especially on
ladders and stages
• Ensure that the tool is switched off, before putting it
aside
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug

AFTER USE:

• Switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• Allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes
before storage
• Suspend the tool on hanging ring M 2 or set it down on
its rear in an upright position; when doing so, make sure
no combustible materials or inflammable gases are in the
proximity
• Do not store/leave the tool outdoors
• Store the tool in a dry and locked-up place, out of reach
of children
EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS ON TOOL
3 Read the instruction manual before use
4 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
5 Do not dispose of the tool together with household waste
material
USE
• On/off switch with 2 temperature settings 6
! check if switch A 2 is in position "0" before
plugging in
- switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired
position:
I = 50°C + air flow 250-500 litres/minute
II = 50°C ... 650°C, air flow 250-500 litres/minute
- when using it for the first time, some smoke may emit
from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease
- switch off the tool by pushing switch A in position "0"
• Temperature setting 7
- set desired target temperature in steps of 10°C by
pressing buttons B briefly
- pressing buttons B constantly increases/decreases
the target temperature continuously until the buttons
are released or the minimum/maximum temperature is
reached
- after the target temperature is set, display D shows the
actual rising/falling temperature until the desired
temperature is reached (in position "II" only)
- the target temperature will be stored in the memory of
the tool, so that each time after switching on the tool
heats up to the last selected target temperature
• Air flow setting 8
- set desired air flow in steps of 50 l/min by pressing
buttons C briefly
- display D shows the actual air flow setting in a bar
graph
• General use
- determine the right temperature by testing out on an
inconspicuous part of the workpiece; start with a low
temperature setting
- the temperature drops as the distance between the air
outlet/nozzle and the workpiece increases
- the temperature required depends on the material to
be worked on
• Stationary use 9
- set the tool down on its rear in an upright position
- make sure the surface is clean and dustfree; polluted
air damages the motor
- make sure the air flow is directed away from you
- secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool
- do not touch the air outlet/nozzle
- make sure nothing drops into the air outlet/nozzle
- carefully hold the tool with one hand while switching it
off with the other hand, and then allow it to cool down
• Holding and guiding the tool 0
- hold the tool with one hand
- keep ventilation slots F 2 uncovered
• Standard accessories 2
- glass protection nozzle G (for deflecting air flow)
- round nozzle H (for broadening air flow)
- reflector nozzle J (for reflecting air flow)
- reduction nozzle K (for concentrating air flow)
NOTES:
- all application examples (except removing paint
next to glass) can be performed without accessories;
however, using the appropriate accessory simplifies
the work and significantly improves the quality of the
results
- this tool can also be used in combination with
commonly available accessories for heat guns
• Mounting/removing accessories
- simply fit the accessory onto air outlet L 2
- remove an accessory by pulling it off to the front after it
has cooled down
! mount an accessory only when the air outlet is
cold, when the switch is in position "0" and when
the plug is disconnected
- use nozzle release ring E for easy removing hot
nozzles !
• Hanging ring M @
- for easy storage of the tool
! allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes
before storage
• Constant heat control (overload protection)
Protects heating element from damage when tool is
overloaded without having to stop it and/or let it cool
down for a period of time
- when the temperature gets too high, the heating
element switches itself off, while the motor continues
to run and produces cold air
- when the temperature has dropped sufficiently (taking
only a few seconds), the heating element will be
switched on automatically
! when the tool is switched off after working at a
high temperature setting, and switched on again
after a short break, it may take a while before the
heating element reaches the desired temperature
