serve the operating instructions
may result in the tool becoming a
source of danger.
When using electric power tools, ob-
serve the following basic safety pre-
cautions to protect yourself from elec-
tric shock, the risk of injury and fire
hazards. Used carelessly, the tool can
start a fire or cause injury.
Check the tool for any damage (mains
connection lead, housing etc.) before
putting it into operation and do not
use the tool if it is damaged.
Children should be supervised to
make sure they do not play with the
tool.
Take the ambient
conditions into account.
Do not expose electric power tools to
rain. Do not use electric power tools
when they are damp or in a damp or
wet environment. Exercise care when
using the tool in the proximity of com-
bustible materials. Do not direct hot air
onto the same spot for any prolonged
period. Do not use in the presence of
an explosive atmosphere. Heat may
be conducted to combustible materi-
als that are out of sight.
Protect yourself from
electric shock
Avoid touching earthed installations and
appliances, such as pipework, radiators,
cookers, refrigerators. Do not leave the
tool unattended while in operation.
Keep your tools
in a safe place.
Place tool on stand after use and allow
to cool before putting it away.
When not in use, tools should be stored
in a dry, locked room out of the reach of
children. This tool is not intended for use
by persons (adults and children) with

person responsible for their safety or
have received instructions from that per-
son on how to use the tool.
Do not overload
your tools.
Your work results and safety will be en-
hanced if you operate the tool within
the specified output range. After using
the tool for a prolonged period at max-
imum temperature, you should reduce
the temperature before switching the
tool off. This will prolong the heating
element's useful life.Do not carry the
tool by the power cord and do not pull
the power cord to pull the plug out of
the power socket. Protect the power
cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Pay attention to toxic gases
and ignition hazard.
Toxic gases may occur when working
on plastics, paints, varnishes or simi-
lar materials.
Beware of fire and ignition hazards.
For your own safety, only use acces-
sories and attachments that are spec-
ified in the operating instructions or
recommended or specified by the tool
manufacturer. Using attachments or
accessories other than those recom-
mended in the operating instructions
or catalogue may result in personal
injury.
Repairs must only
be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
This electric power tool complies with
the relevant safety regulations. Re-
pairs must only be performed by a
qualified electrician, otherwise the
user may run the risk of accidents.
If this tool's main power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its customer service
department or a similarly qualified
person so as to avoid hazards.
Keep these safety precautions with
the tool so they are always to hand.

Setting 1 is the cold-air stage, delivering a temperature of approx. 40 °C.
Use the cold-air function to cool workpieces or the nozzle for changing an attachment.
Setting 2 without nozzle delivers a temperature of 400 °C. A temperature of 500 °C is reached with the 7 mm reduction nozzle
attached.

Tool description - Operation
The tool is switched ON and OFF at the 3-stage switch on the front of the grip. The distance from the object you are
working on depends on material and intended method of working. Always try out airflow and temperature on a test piece
first. Using the attachable accessory nozzles (see accessories page on the cover) the flow of hot air can be controlled
with maximum precision.
A small quantity of smoke may occur the first time the tool is used. Switch the tool OFF by setting the switch 4to the "0"
position.
Exercise care when changing hot nozzles. When using the hot air tool in the self-resting position, make sure it is standing
on a stable, non-slip and clean surface.
