Never direct the hot air gun at
highly flammable materials! Fires
can be caused if the hot air gun is
not used with great care.
Never leave the tool unattended
when it is running.
After long periods of use at
maximum temperature, the
temperature should be lowered
before the tool is switched off. This
lengthens the service life of the
heater.
Place the tool on the bases
provided following use and wait
until it has cooled down before
placing in storage!
Store your tools in a safe place.
Unused tools should be stored in a
dry, locked room inaccessible to
children.
Always take care where there are
toxic gases and a risk of explosion.
Toxic can be created when
working on plastics, paints and
similar materials. Risk of fire and
combustion!
Only use the hot air gun in well-
ventilated rooms!
Never inhale the vapours created!
For your own safety, only use
accessories and auxiliary devices
specified in the Operating
Instructions or recommended or
specified by the tool manufacturer.
The use tools or accessories other
than those recommended in the
Operating Instructions or in the
10
catalogue can result in a risk of
injury.

The distance to the object being processed
depends on the material and intended
processing type. Always first carry out an inspection
of air volume and temperature! The attachable
nozzles (see chapter 9.) available as accessories
can be used for precise hot air control to a specific
point or a surface.
Take care when changing hot nozzles! Danger
of burns.
6.1 H 16-500
The sliding switch (4) can be used to switch the tool

Stage 2: 500 °C, 450 l/min
6.2 HE 20-600
The sliding switch (4) can be used to switch the tool

The air volume is varied in the three stages from
150/300/500 l/min.
At stage 1 of the sliding switch (4) the temperature
is always 50 °C (cold-air stage). Use the cold-air
stage to dry paint, cool workpieces or to cool down
the nozzle before changing an accessory part.
At stage 2 and 3 of the sliding switch (4) the
temperature can be set steplessly at the adjusting
wheel (11).
The numbers 1 - 9 shown on the adjusting wheel are
used for orientation. "1" means 50 °C. "9" means
600 °C (maximum temperature).
