Bosch Power Tools
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.

Operation
Starting operation
u
Pay attention to the mains voltage.
The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Creation of Smoke During Initial Use
A coating protects the metal surfaces from corrosion ex-
works. This protective layer evaporates during initial use.
Switching On
Slide the on/off switch
(2)
upwards.
Thermal protection shutdown:
If the power tool overheats
(e.g. due to a build-up of air), the heating system will auto-
matically switch off, though the blower will continue to run.
Once the power tool has cooled back down to its operating
temperature, the heating system will automatically switch on
again.
Switching Off
Slide the on/off switch
(2)
downwards into the
0
position.
u
After working at high temperatures for a prolonged
period, let the power tool cool down before switching
it off. To do this, allow it to run on the lowest temper-
ature setting for a short while.
Selecting a Power Setting
