USE

• On/o switch with 2 temperature settings 4

! check if switch A is in position “0” before

plugging in

- switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired

position:

I = 50°C + air ow 250-500 litres/minute

II = 50°C ... 650°C, air ow 250-500 litres/minute

- when using it for the rst time, some smoke may emit

from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease

- switch o the tool by pushing switch A in position “0”

• Temperature setting 5

- set desired target temperature in steps of 10°C by

pressing buttons B briey

- 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 ow setting 6

- set desired air ow in steps of 50 l/min by pressing

buttons C briey

- display D shows the actual air ow 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 7

- 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 ow 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

o with the other hand, and then allow it to cool down

• Use at hard-to-reach places

- remove ring E 2, thus releasing the metal air outlet

over a greater distance

! pay attention to increased risk of fire and burns

• Holding and guiding the tool 8

- hold the tool with one hand

- keep ventilation slots F 2 uncovered

• Standard accessories 2

- glass protection nozzle G (for deecting air ow)

- at nozzle H (for broadening air ow)

- reector nozzle J (for reecting air ow)

- reduction nozzle K (for concentrating air ow)

NOTES:

- all application examples (except removing paint

next to glass) can be performed without accessories;

however, using the appropriate accessory simplies

the work and signicantly improves the quality of the

results

- this tool can also be used in combination with

BOSCH- and other commonly available accessories

for heat guns

• Mounting/removing accessories

- simply t the accessory onto air outlet L 2

- remove an accessory by pulling it o 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 9

• Hanging ring M 0

- 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 o, while the motor continues

to run and produces cold air

- when the temperature has dropped suciently (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

APPLICATION ADVICE

• Removing paint/lacquer !

- use a clean, sharp scraper

- scrape rmly, when the paint softens

- experiment to establish the length of time necessary to

apply the heat for optimal results

- scrape the softened paint immediately, or it will harden

again

- keep a 30° to 40° angle between the tool and the

workpiece

- remove paint and debris immediately from the scraper

to prevent them from ignition

- scrape with the grain of the wood, wherever possible

- do not direct the hot air ow towards the same surface

for too long

- dispose of all paint debris safely

- thoroughly clean the work area after completing the

job

! be careful when removing layers of paint in old

buildings;inthepastthebuildingmayhavebeen

painted with paint containing lead, which is

highly poisonous

! exposure to even low levels of lead can cause

seriousbrainandnervoussystemdamage;

young and unborn children are particularly

vulnerable

! have lead-based paint removed by a professional

without using a heatgun
