LEISTER Diode S, Diode PID
Hot Air Tool
Please read operating instructions carefully
before use and keep for further reference.
• The LEISTER Hot Air Pistol Diode S, Diode PID is designed for continuous
operation and is suitable as a hand tool or for building into machines, instal-
lations and appliances
•Welding of thermoplastic materials and also single-ply flexible plastics and
modified bitumen in the form of boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes,
coated materials, films, foams, tiles, and sheets. The following procedures
are possible: overlap welding, welding with rod, with tape, butt welding
and melt welding
•Heating-up for forming, bending and sealing of thermoplastic semi-
finished materials and plastic granules
•Drying of water-damp surfaces
•Shrinking of heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves and moulded parts.
•Soldering copper pipes, solder joints and metal foils
•Activating/dissolving of solvent free adhesives and fusion adhesives.
• Separating and fusing synthethic fibres and fabrics
• Removing plastic mould flash and putting a shine on plastic surfaces

TECHNICAL DATA
105 Pa = 1 bar
This tool is CCA certificated (CENELEC Certification Agreement).
Electrical safety: DOUBLE INSULATED
Danger to life when opening the tool, as live compo-
nents and connections ar exposed. Unplug the tool
before opening it.
Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and
explosion hazard, especially near combustible materials
and explosive gases.
The tool must be operated with supervision. Warmth
can reach combustible materials, which are out of sight.
For personal protection on building sites we strongly
recommend the tool be connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) or a RCCB (Residual Current
Circuit Breaker).
The voltage rating stated on the tool must correspond to
the line/mains voltage.
Do not touch the element housing and nozzle when
they are hot as they can cause burns. Let the tool cool
down. Do not point hot air flow in the direction of
people or animals.
Protect tool from damp and wet.

Measures to be taken during Error warning
• Set potentiometer (3) to position 0 or unplug tool from the line/mains for 5 seconds
(automatic electronic circuit reset).
• Allow tool to cool down.
• Check air flow and line/mains supply.
• Set potentiometer (3) back to desired position and/or plug tool to the line/mains.
If the unit is still not functioning, contact a LEISTER service centre and provide details
of the fault.
Operating Condition
• Air supply
The Hot Air tool Diode S, Diode PID needs either the High Pressure Blower LEISTER
Minor, Longlife or Robust for air supply. In dusty air, air filter must be fitted. When
using compressed air, an oil and water filter must be connected. The air flow can
be steplessly adjusted with the LEISTER air flow adjuster attached to the blower.
• As required, fit appropriate nozzle.
• Connect tool to the mains.
• Adjust the hot air temperature by use of the potentiometer (3).
The themperature can be checked with a thermocouple about 5 mm inside the nozzle, when using round
nozzles in the centre of the nozzle, when using draw nozzles in the main nozzle opening. The diameter of
the thermocouple must not be more than 1 mm max. (in accordance with DVS 2208 part II).
ATTENTION
• The Hot Air tool should be placed on a heat resistant surface or use LEISTER tool
stand . The tool must not be operated without air supply.
• Allow the Hot Air tool to warm up for about 3 min.

Operation
• The LEISTER Company, as well as the Service Centres, offer free training courses
and advice in all areas of application (see page 1).
• Carry out a test weld with the material according to the manufacturer’s welding
instructions and national guidelines or regulations.
• Check the test weld.
• Set welding temperature (welding parameter) as required.
• Allow tool to cool down after use.
Change of nozzles
• Before changing nozzles, allow the tool to cool down, or use only combination
pliers/spanner.
• Do not touch hot nozzle and make sure to put it only on a heat resistant surface,
because of the fire hazard.
• Only LEISTER nozzles should be used.
• Tool stand
• PVC air hose Ø 14 mm
• Hose clamp for air hose Ø 14 mm
• Repairs should only be carried out by authorised LEISTER Service Centres. They
guarantee a specialised and reliable Repair Service within 24 hours using original
