For your safety

These hot air tools are doubly protected from overheating. 1. A thermostat switches the heater off it too much of the air outlet nozzle is obstructed (heat build-up). However, the blower continues to run. A warning triangle on the display tells you that the heater is switched off. Once the air delivery nozzle is clear again, the heater automatically switches back on again after a few moments. The warning triangle then goes out. The thermostat may also respond after switching the hot air tool off, taking it longer than usual to reach temperature at the air delivery nozzle when it is switched on again.

1. 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 place 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-sip and clean surface.

HL 1620 S

The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switch (7) on the back of the grip hands. Airflow and temperature can be adjusted to 2 settings. Stage 1 reaches 300 °C at an airflow of 240 l/min, stage 2 reaches 500 °C at 450 l/min. This tool is intended for home use only.

HL 1920 E

The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switch (7) on the back of the grip handlo. In addition to three-stage speed/airflow control (stage 1 is a cold air stage at 80 °C), temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of 80 °C – 800 °C. In settings 2 and 3 at the thumbwheel (6). The numbers 1–9 on the thumbwheel serve as a guide only. Whereas "1" means 80 °C, the maximum temperature of 600 °C is attained at "8". Airflow can be adjusted to the three stages of 150 / 150-300 / 300-500 l/min. The guard sleeve (3) detaches at a bayonet catch.

HL 2020 E

The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switch (7) on the back of the grip handle. In addition to three-stage speed airflow control at the switch (7), temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of 80 °C to 630 °C in settings 2 and 3 at the rocker switch (9). The target temperature can be increased in 10 °C increments by pressing the right hand "+" side of the rocker switch (9) or reduced by pressing the left hand "-" side of the rocker switch (9).

Keeping the button pressed will continue to increase or reduce the temperature in steps of 10 °C until the rocker button is reversed or the minimum or maximum temperature is set. The temperature setting is shown on the display for 3 seconds. On lowering or increasing the temperature, the actual temperature is then displayed at the delivery nozzle. The °C/F symbol flashes during this period. As soon as the selected temperature is reached, this symbol stops flashing and is displayed all the time. Blower stage 1 delivers a temperature of 80 °C. When the tool has been operating at high temperatures on blower stage 2 or 3 it will take a short while to cool to 80 °C after switching down to blower stage 1. While the tool is cooling down, the LCD display (10) shows the actual temperature at the nozzle cutter. After switching off, the tool stays in the last setting that was selected. The guard sleeve (3) delaches at a bayonet catch.

Changing the power cord (HL 2020 E only)

If the power cord is damaged, it can easily be changed without opening the casing.

Uses

Here are some of the applications you can use STEINEL hot air tools for. This selection is by no means exhaustive - no doubt you can immediately think of other examples.

Paint stripping:

Paint is softened and can be removed with a stripping knife and paint scraper to leave a clean surface.

Shrinking tubing on cables:

The shrink tubing is slipped over the section you want to insulate and healed with hot air. The tubing shrinks by approx. 50% in diameter to give a sealed union. Shrinking is particularly fast and even using reflector nozzles. Sealing and stabilising cable breaks, insulating added joints, gathering cable runs, sheathing terminal blocks.

Forming PVC:

Sheeting, piping or ski boots can be softened and formed with hot air.

Lighting barbecues:

Gets charcoal glowing in next to no time; no more waiting.

Thawing:

Water pipes, frozen door locks, steps. Gently thaws and cries all in one go.

Soft 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 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 wolding with a slit nozzle.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
