OPERATION
Always use the correct supply voltage!
The voltage of the power source must be the same as the value given on the rating plate of the unit. Units
designed for 230V can also be operated with 220V.
SWITCHING ON/OFF & SETTING THE AIRFLOW TEMPERATURE
Ensure that the Hot Air Gun is switched OFF (O) before
connecting it to the power supply or when attaching any
nozzles to it!
The On/Off switch has four settings (See fig. 2).
Position "O" is "OFF" and the other three positions provide different rates of air flow.
Slide the Switch up to position I, II, or III.
With Stage "I" you can have a temperature of no more than 60°C regardless of the number
selected by the Temperature Adjustor. Only whilst using Stage II and Stage III airflow
settings, can the Temperature Adjustor be used to change the required temperature.
To switch "OFF" the Hot Air Gun, slide the On/Off Switch to the "O" position.
Air Flow Temperature
Stage I 350l/min 60°C
Stage II 350l/min Variable from 60°C to approx. 600°C
Stage III 550l/min Variable from 60°C to 600°C
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
In the switch positions II and III, the temperature can be continuously regulated.
The distance from the object you are working on depends on the material and intended method of working. Always
try out the air flow and temperature settings on a test piece first. Using the attachable accessory nozzles, the flow
of hot air can be controlled with maximum precision. If the Hot Air Gun is continuously used to close to the
workpiece (i.e. misused) the thermal overload protection will be activated and the tool will completely shut
down. Allow the tool to cool down before attempting to use it.
Decrease the air flow when, for example:
- The surroundings of the work piece should not be heated more than
necessary.
- A light work piece could be blown away by the air stream.
After switching to stage II or III, the target temperature can be regulated.
Pressing the "+or -" Temperature adjuster button increases or decreases
the target temperature one time by 10°C. Holding down the
"+or -" Temperature adjustor button increases or decreases the
temperature continuously by 10°C steps until the button is released or the
minimum or maximum temperature is reached. (See fig. 3)
In switch position I, the pre-set temperature is 60°C.
When switching from position II or III with higher temperatures to position I,
a short time is required for the unit to cool to 60°C. During the cooling
period, the LCD display shows the actual temperature at the nozzle outlet.

OPERATION
REMOVING THE HEAT GUARD SLEEVE
CAUTION - Be careful of the hot nozzle!
There is an increased danger of burning when working
without the heat guard.
For working in especially narrow places, the Heat Guard can be removed.
1. To remove or mount the heat guard, the unit must be in the "OFF"
position and be allowed to cool down until cold.
2. With the Hot Air Gun facing away from you, hold the gun in your right
hand and twist the Heat Guard with your left hand in a clockwise
direction then pull off of the main body. (See fig. 4)
3. To mount the Heat Guard back on, slide the Heat Guard over the Nozzle
and push the clips into position.
Always take EXTREME care when using the Hot Air Gun in the
proximity of flammable materials. Heat may also be conducted to
flammable materials that are out of sight.
PLACING DOWN THE HOT AIR GUN
For cooling of the heat gun or to have both hands free for working, it can
be placed down in an upright position on the rear of the housing.
(See fig. 5).
CAUTION - Be especially careful when working with
the heat gun in an upright position!
There is greater danger of burning yourself on the hot nozzle
and the hot air stream.
NEVER LEAVE THE HOT AIR GUN SWITCHED ON AND UNATTENDED!

Removing paint from window frames
CAUTION! There is a danger of glass
breaking!
Use the window nozzle
(2) to protect the
glass when using the
Hot Air Gun to remove
paint from the frame.
On profiled surfaces,
paint can be removed
using the triangular scraper (3) and
brushed off using a soft wire brush.

WORKING EXAMPLES
REDUCTION NOZZLE
Shrink fitting
After fitting the reduction nozzle (4),
select the diameter of the heat-shrink
tubing according to the work piece, for
example, a spade connector. Heat the
heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.

Temperature settings given in the application examples
are suggested values that depending on the material
characteristics, can deviate. The distance between the
nozzle and work piece is dependent on the material to
be worked on.
The ideal temperature should first be ascertained by
performing a test. Therefore, begin with a lower
temperature setting.
All application examples (except B) can be performed
without accessories. However, the use of the
recommended accessory parts simplify the work and
significantly improve the quality of the results.
Be careful when changing the nozzle, danger of
burning!
Do not touch the hot nozzle. Allow the unit to cool.
Wear protective gloves.
SURFACE NOZZLE
Removing paint/softening Adhesives
Attach the surface nozzle (1). Soften
the paint using hot air and remove
using a scraper. Do not heat the paint
for too long since this will burn the
paint, making it more difficult to
remove. The scraper should be kept
sharp and clean.
Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer when
heated allowing adhesive bonds to be broken or
excess adhesive to be removed.
