IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
UL WARNING: Read this instruction book before using. To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose to rain or moisture. Store indoors. Double insulated. When servicing, use only identical replace-
ment parts. When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury. This hot air gun operates at 1300°F with no visual indication
of temperature (no flame). Never leave device unattended. Otherwise risk of fire. The heat stream at the
outlet nozzle will burn flesh. Do not turn on hot air tool with hand in front of nozzle. DO NOT USE NEAR
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS. DO NOT USE FOR: lHeating gas engines lHeating car batteries lThawing
refrigerator equipment.
WARNING!
This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 1300° F of flameless heat at the nozzle. ALWAYS:
l Direct the heat away from yourself and others.
l Prevent ignition of combustible materials on or near the workpiece.
l Prevent blockage of intake and nozzle openings.
l Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher on hand.
l Allow the nozzle and accessory tips to cool to room temperature before storage.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects, or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lLead from lead-based paints,
lCrystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
lArsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Cautions
1. WARNING: Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may
contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the hot air tool when working in these locations.
The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and
injury to persons. Do not use if in doubt about this hazard. When working in these locations, keep the
hot air tool moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel
or the material behind it.
2. This hot air tool can produce up to 1300°F of flameless heat at the nozzle. Do not direct airstream at
clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.
3. Do not use near flammable liquids or in an explosive environment (fumes, gases or dust). Remove
materials or debris, that may become ignited from work area.
4. Always hold tool by plastic enclosure. The metal nozzle requires approximately 20 minutes to cool to
where it can be touched. Do not touch nozzle or accessory tips until cool.
5. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled to room temperature. Place tool in a clear area away from
combustible materials while cooling.
6. Do not cut off airflow by placing nozzle too close to work piece. Keep intake vents clean and clear of
obstructions.
7. Place tool on a level surface when tool is not hand held. Place cord in a position that won’t cause tipping.
8. Do not leave tool unattended while running or cooling down. Otherwise risk of fire.
9. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby.
10. Do not direct airflow directly on glass.
11. Shield materials around the heated area to prevent damage or fire.
12. Use only with 120 V AC voltage.
13. Do not use in wet conditions.
14. Not to be used by children. This is not a toy and should be respected.

Persons removing materials should follow these guidelines.
1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the
windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any residue. Wear protective clothing such as extra work
shirts, overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and
covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop
cloths.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work
area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved
by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health
(NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available
at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing
properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operating the hot air tool. Keep the hot air tool moving as excessive heat will generate
fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.
8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or
drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
9. Clean up all removed residue and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls,
sills and any other surface where residue or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM.
Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
10. At the end of each work session put the residue and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or
twist ties, and dispose of properly.
11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the
dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work
clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
15. Do not use in bath or over water.
16. Safety glasses should be worn when using this tool.
17. It is recommended that leather gloves be worn when using a hot air tool.
18. Always unplug after use.
19. WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes
prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in
the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any paint removal process
you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the paint to
be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED USING A HOT AIR TOOL.
20. Do not allow dust, debris or other contamination to enter the heat blower air intake. They may ignite or
cause damage to the tool.

Double Insulated Tools
Tools marked with the words "Double Insulated"are equipped with a two prong plug. These tools have a
special insulation system that complies with applicable UL standards . They do not require grounding.
"Double Insulated"tools, like this one, have two prong cords and can use either a two or three prong exten-
sion cord.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The use of extension cords of
inadequate size wire causes a serious drop in voltage and loss
of power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep cords away from
excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or wet areas. Repair or
replace damaged extension cords before using.

For Your Safety
(HG 2620 E / HG 2220 E)
First time use, a small quantity of smoke may occur when the tool is used for the first time. This
smoke is caused by binding agents released from the heater’s insulating film during the first time of
use. To let the smoke escape quickly, the tool should be set down on its standing surface. The area
you are working in should be well ventilated when using the tool for the first time. Any smoke coming
out of the tool is not harmful!
Residual heat indicator (HG 2620 E)
The residual heat indicator serves as a visual warning to prevent injury from direct contact with the hot
nozzle outlet by flashing until the temperature at the nozzle outlet has fallen below 140degrees F at room
temperature. It begins working after the tool has been in use for 90seconds and also works when the
tool is unplugged. No indication will be shown if the tool has been in operation for less than 90seconds.
Responsibility always rests with the user and care must be taken at all times when handling hot air tools.
These hot air tools are protected from overheating:
The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it is overloaded.

Tool description - Operation
Please note: The distance from the object you are working on depends on material and intended method
of working. Always try out the 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.
Take 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.
1. Operation
The tool is switched on and off at the ON/OFF button 8on the back of the grip handle. The joystick 9is
used for controlling temperature and airflow or fan speed.
2. Setting the temperature
Temperature can be infinitely varied over a range of 120-1300°F at the joystick on the control panel with
LCD display. The actual temperature is measured at the hot air outlet nozzle and indicated on the display.
The joystick 9is used as an input button with plus/minus function.
Briefly pressing the "+/–" joystick increases or reduces the temperature setting in 10° steps. Keeping the
joystick pressed speeds up the temperature setting process. Once the temperature has been set, the tool
takes a few seconds to reach temperature (depending on speed/airflow). The temperature setting selected
is shown on the display for 3seconds. The display then shows the current actual temperature. The "°C/°F"
symbol continues to flash until the selected temperature is reached.
If you want to alter the setting, simply press the joystick again to increase or reduce the temperature. After
switching off, the hot air tool stays in the last setting.
3. Setting airflow rate
To change the airflow rate, first press the button for airflow mode 10; the fan symbol flashes. Now use the
joystick to set the airflow rate. The airflow rate setting mode automatically closes if the airflow rate setting is
not changed within 5 seconds. Pressing the airflow button again after setting the airflow rate immediately closes
the airflow rate setting mode. The airflow rate can be varied from a minimum of 2cfm to a maximum of 13cfm.
Temperature measurement on the workpiece
We recommend the STEINEL HGScanPRO temperature scanner (Prod. No.:110033508) for detecting the
temperature at the workpiece.

Tool description - Operation HG 2220 E
Please note: The distance from the object you are working on depends on material and intended method
of working. Always try out the 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.
Take 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.
The tool is switched on and off by means of a two-stage airflow switch 6. In settings 1 and 2, the tempera-
ture is continuously variable at a thumbwheel in 9steps. The guard sleeve can be removed.
Switching on causes brief voltage drops. If the mains power supply system is not absolutely stable, other
equipment may be affected. No disturbance is likely to occur with mains impedances of less than 0.43ohms.

Applications HG 2220 E
Shrink tubing on cables:
The shrink tubing is slipped over the section you want to insulate and heated with hot air. The tubing shrinks
by approx. 50% in diameter to give a sealed union. Shrinking is particularly fast and even using reflector noz-
zles.Sealing and stabilizing cable breaks, insulating soldered joints, gathering cable runs, sheathing terminal
blocks.
Forming PVC:
Sheeting, piping or ski boots can be softened and formed with hot air.
Soldering:
First, clean metal parts you want to join. Then, using hot air, heat the point you want to solder and offer up
the soldering wire. Use flux or a soldering wire with a flux core to prevent oxide forming.
Welding and joining plastic:
All parts being welded must be of the same plastic material. Use an appropriate welding rod.
Joining plastic sheeting:
The sheets are overlapped and welded together. A slit nozzle is used to direct hot air under the overlap, then
the two sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller.
Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding with a slit nozzle.
Shaping:
Ski boots and sports shoes can be shaped for a perfect fit.
Welding sheeting:
The sheets are overlapped and welded together. A slit nozzle is used to direct hot air under the overlap, then
the two sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller.
Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding with a slit nozzle.
- Welding all thermoplastics.
- Welding films and tarpaulins.
- Welding plastics and jointing.
- Activating and removing glues and hot-melt adhesives.
- Thawing frozen door locks, frozen water pipes, icy steps.
- Heating car-wrapping films.
- Applying edgebands.
- Shaping thermoplastics.
