Preparing the device for use
The mains voltage at the mains socket must match
that shown on the rating plate on the device.
Devices marked with 230 V can also be operated
at 220 V.
Caution! When using the device, never allow the
ventilation slots to be covered.
Switching on the device:
Press the ON/OFF switch
setting „I" or „II".
Switching off the device:
Press the ON/OFF switch
setting „0".
Setting the air flow and temperature:
The switch
has two different air fl ow settings.
You can select the combination of air fl ow and
temperature most suitable for your task.
Setting I: 300 l/min, 375° C
Setting II: 500 l/min, 550° C

Advice on use
Removing the heat shield:
Remove the heat shield
larly narrow spaces.
Caution! Danger of burns! Do not touch the hot
nozzle. When you are working without the heat
shield there is an increased risk of burns.
The device must be completely cool before you
remove or replace the heat shield.
½ Turn the heat shield
to remove it.
½ Turn the heat shield
to put it back on.

Placing the device down:
Always set the device down upright on a level
surface, this will allow
• you to have both hands free
• the device to cool

Changing the nozzle
Reflector nozzle
– for shaping plastic pipes
or tubes:
Use the refl ector nozzle
pipes or tubes. Fill the pipe or tube with sand and
ensure it is closed at both ends. This will prevent
the pipe or tube from kinking. Warm the pipe or
tube evenly by moving the hot air gun from side to
side and backwards and forwards.
Protector nozzle
– for removing paint and
varnish:
Use the protector nozzle
varnish evenly. The spatula shape of the nozzle
ensures the air is properly directed. Use a separate
spatula for removing paint or varnish.
Flat nozzle
– for detaching glues, softening
paint:
Use the fl at nozzle
to soften paint and varnish.
Do not apply heat for too long a period, as burned
paint can only be removed with diffi culty. Many
glues can be softened by warming. Glued con-
nections can then be detached and excess glue
removed.
Reducing nozzle
– for welding plastic:
Use the reducer nozzle
spot. e.g. for soldering or removing solder. When you
weld workpieces, be sure that the workpiece and
welding rod are made of the same materials.
In addition, the site of the weld must be clean and
free of grease. Warm the area until it softens enough
to become ‚doughy'. When doing this, bear in mind
that the temperature difference between the plastic
being ‚doughy' and liquid is very narrow. Guide the
welding rod and let the plastic run into the gap so
that it forms an even curved bead. Use the reducing
nozzle
for heat-shrinkable sleeves and fi lm.
