Safety Rules
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
fBe careful when working with the power
tool. The power tool produces intense heat which
can lead to increased danger of fire and explosion.
fExercise special care when working close to
inflammable materials. The hot air jet or the hot
nozzle can ignite dust or gases.
fDo not operate or work with the power tool
in areas where there is danger of explosion.
fNever direct the hot air jet at the same posi-
tion for longer periods. Easily inflammable
gases can develop e.g., when working plastic,
paint, varnish or similar materials.
fBe aware that heat can be conducted to hid-
den covered materials and can ignite them.
fAfter using, place the power tool down in a
secure manner and allow it to cool down
completely before packing it away. The hot
nozzle can cause damage.
fDo not leave the switched-on power tool
unattended.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
fNever use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
fConnect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD).
fDo not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
fDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
fAlways wear safety goggles. Safety goggles
will reduce the risk of injuries.
fDisconnect the plug from the socket outlet
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or placing the power tool aside.
This safety measure prevents unintentional starting
of the power tool.
fCheck the power tool, cord and plug each
time before use. Do not use the power tool if
damage is determined. Do not open the
power tool yourself and have it serviced only
by a qualified repair person using only origi-
nal spare parts. Damaged power tools, cords
and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Provide for good ventilation of
your working place. Gas and vapour
developing during working are often
harmful to one's health.
fWear safety gloves and do not touch the hot
nozzle. Danger of burning.
fNever direct the hot air jet against persons or
animals.
fDo not use the power tool as a hairdryer. The
hot air being blown out is significantly hotter than
that from a hairdryer.

Operation
Starting Operation
fObserve correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, press the On/Off switch
4to position Ior II.
To switch off the power tool, press the On/Off
switch 4to the 0position.
Selecting the Air-volume Level
With the On/Off switch 4it is possible to select
between two air-volume levels:
A reduced air-volume level may be required in certain
cases, e.g., to avoid overheating the workpiece sur-
roundings or to avoid displacing the workpiece if the
air jet is too strong.
A higher air-volume level heats up the workpiece more
quickly and the hot-air gun can be held at a greater
distance from the workpiece.
Setting the Temperature
Infinitely variable temperature control of the air jet is
possible with the thumbwheel 3.
The marked thumbwheel positions correspond with
the following temperature ranges:

Operating Instructions
Note: Do not apply the nozzle 1too close to the work-
piece being worked. The hot air build-up can lead to
overheating of the power tool.
Removing the Heat Protection Collar
The heat protection collar 2can be removed when
working at particularly hard-to-reach locations.
fBe careful of the hot nozzle! Increased danger
of burning exists when working without the heat
protection collar.
To remove or mount the heat protection collar 2,
switch the power tool off and allow it to cool down.
Turn the heat protection collar 2in anticlockwise
direction to remove and in clockwise direction to
mount again.
Placing Down the Power Tool
Place the power tool down on both standing surfaces
5in order for it to cool down or to have both hands
free for working.
fBe especially careful when working with the
placed down power tool! There is danger of burn-
ing oneself on the hot nozzle or on the hot air jet.
Work Examples
The illustrations of the work examples can be found on
the fold-out pages.
The temperature settings in the work examples are ref-
erence values that can vary, depending on the mate-
rial characteristics. The distance between the nozzle
and the workpiece depends on the material to be
worked.
The optimal temperature for the respective application
can be determined by practical testing. Always start
with a low temperature setting.
All application examples can be performed without
accessories except for “Removing Varnish/Paint from
Windows”. However, the use of recommended acces-
sories simplifies the work and significantly improves the
quality of the result.
fBe careful when changing the nozzle! Do not
touch the hot nozzle. Allow the power tool to
cool down and wear protective gloves while
changing the nozzle. Danger of burning oneself
on the hot nozzle.
Removing Varnish/Softening Adhesives
(see figure A)
Mount the wide jet nozzle 6(accessory). Briefly soften
the varnish applying hot air and remove it using a
sharp, clean scraper or putty knife. Applying heat too
long will burn the varnish, making it more difficult to
remove.
Many adhesives (e.g. of stickers) become soft when
heated. Heated adhesives allow for bonds to be sep-
arated or excessive adhesive to be removed.
Removing Varnish/Paint from Windows
(see figure B)
fUse of the glass protection nozzle 7 (acces-
sory) is essential. Danger of glass breaking.
On profiled surfaces, varnish can be removed using
an appropriately fitting spatula and brushed off with a
soft wire brush.
Shaping Plastic Tubing (see figure C)
Mount the reflector nozzle 8(accessory). To avoid
kinking of the tubing, fill the tubing with sand and plug
both ends. Heat the tubing evenly by by applying the
heat from side to side.
Welding Plastics (see figure D)
Mount the reduction nozzle 11 and the welding shoe
10 (both accessories). The workpieces to be welded
and the welding rod 9(accessory) must be of the
same material (e.g. both of PVC). The seam must be
clean and grease-free.
Carefully heat up the seam location until it becomes
doughy. Please note that the temperature difference
between the doughy and liquid state of plastic is low.
Feed in the welding rod 9and allow it to run into the
gap so that a uniform bead is produced.
Shrinking (see figure E)
Mount the reduction nozzle 11 (accessory). Select the
diameter of the heat-shrinkable sleeve 12 (accessory)
according to the workpiece (e.g. a cable lug). Heat the
heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.
Defrosting Water Pipes (see figure F)
fBefore heating pipes, check to make sure
that it is actually a water pipe. Water lines
often do not differ in appearance from gas lines.
Gas lines are not to be heated under any circum-
stances.
Mount the reflector nozzle 8(accessory). Always apply
heat to the frozen areas from the outside to the middle.
Heat up plastic pipes as well as connections between
pipe pieces especially careful to prevent damage.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
fBefore any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the power
tool and its ventilation slots clean.
WARNING! Important instructions for connect-
ing a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to the
following code:
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth
terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this power tool, it must be
disposed of safely.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should
be carried out by an after-sales service centre for
Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please
always include the 10-digit article number given on
the type plate of the machine.
