Safety warnings
Residual heat indicator
The residual heat indicator serves
as a visual warning to prevent inju-
ry from direct contact with the hot
nozzle outlet. The residual heat indi-
cator also works when the tool is un-
plugged. The indicator starts working
after the tool has been in use for
90 seconds and keeps flashing until
the temperature at the nozzle outlet
has fallen below 60 °C at room tem-
perature. The residual heat indicator
does not show if the tool has been in
operation for less than 90 seconds.
Responsibility always rests with the
user as care must be taken at all
times when handling hot air tools.
Keep these safety precautions
with the tool.

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 accesso-
ries 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.
Switch-on procedures generate short-term voltage drops. In
unfavourable grid conditions, adverse effects can occur on
other devices. With grid impedances of less than 0.35 ohms,
no disturbances are expected.
1. Operation
The tool is switched on and off at the ON/OFF switch
12
on the back of the grip handle. The joystick
10
is used for
controlling temperature and airflow or fan speed.
2. Setting the temperature
Temperature can be infinitely varied over a range of 50-700 °C
at the joystick on the control panel with LCD display. The ac-
tual temperature is measured at the hot air outlet nozzle and
indicated on the display. The joystick
10
is used as an input
button with plus/minus function.
Briefly pressing the "
+/–
" joystick increases or reduces the
temperature setting in 10 °C 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 tem-
perature. 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
8
; the fan symbol flashes. Now use the joystick to
set the airflow rate. The airflow rate setting mode automati-
cally closes if the airflow rate setting is not changed within
5 s. Pressing the 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 150 l/min
to a maximum of 500 l/min.
4. Programming mode [P]
Four programmes are factory-set for the most common
types of work. Press button "P" for programming mode.
Number 1 is displayed for programme 1. Continuing to press
the programme selection button will take you to programmes
2 – 4. Pressing the button again will return the tool to normal
operation.
