General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Operating manual – heat gun HyStream 2100
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
•Power tool or power adapter plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•Do 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.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety

Tips and notes on handling the heat gun
Glass protection/ diversion nozzle
For use on heat-sensitive materials (such as glass) to prevent
the risk of breaking glass:
• To remove hardened sealing compound heat the material
for a few seconds.
The glass protection/ diversion nozzle redirects the
radiated heat and so provides protection against heat
cracks.
• For restoration work soften old coats of paint, but do not
scorch the wooden surface.
Application example for the glass protection/ diversion nozzle:
Wide-angle nozzle
For use on larger areas (e.g. for drying processes, the removal
of paints, varnishes and adhesives or weed control):
• Many adhesives – as on the back of labels or carpets –
can be softened with warmth. Then it is possible to
dissolve the adhesive bonds, to peel off labels, detach
carpets and remove surplus adhesive.
• You can heat up and then remove old coats of paint and
lacquer on larger surfaces with a separate scraper.
Try to avoid excessive heat exposure, for burnt varnish can
only be removed with great difficulty.
• Weeds can be scorched also by aiming the hot air directly
at it.
Application example for the wide-angle nozzle:

11 EN
Operating manual – heat gun HyStream 2100
Reducing nozzle
For concentrating the air current (e.g. for welding or spot
soldering):
• Use the reducing nozzle on shrinking hoses and shrink
wrap.
• For a concentrated hot air flow, e.g. for heat-sealing
plastics or removing paint coats in corners.
• It is easier to loosen screws when the connection was
previously carefully heated by means of hot air.
• For the deformation of plastic pipes.
Application example for the reducing nozzle:
Barbecue lighter nozzle
Warning of flammable substances
Fire hazard due to improper use of the barbecue lighter
nozzle!
Never use methylated spirit or other combustible
barbecue lighters in combination with the barbecue
lighter nozzle!
Only use the barbecue lighter nozzle on a fire-proof
surface (e.g. grill tray) and only to light charcoal!
• Poke the barbecue lighter nozzle deeply into the charcoal.
The charcoal will be hot and ready for use within a few
minutes. No further aids are required.
