Use

The hot-air blower is universally suitable for work with a wide variety of materials. See the Sample application in these operating instructions.

The hot-air blower 1600 HLG E makes possible an electronic continuously adjustable temperature setting 80 - 600^ C with a large volume of air of up to 400 litres/min.

Double insulation

Our equipment is designed in accordance with European regulations (EN standards) for the utmost safety of the user. Machines with double insulation always carry the international l symbol. The machines do not require earthing. A two-core cable is sufficient. The machines are interference-suppressed in accordance with EN 55014.

Safety instructions and prevention of accidents

Before operating the machine, please read through the operating instructions completely, follow the Safety Instructions in this manual as well as the general Safety Instructions for Power Tools in the accompanying booklet.

Attention! Safety and accident prevention! Important information which you must take note of:

The 1600 HLG E produces hot air to a max. temperature of 600^ . This high temperature is attained by having the air flow past a glowing resistance wire. At max. temperature setting the filament becomes red hot, without producing a naked flame however. The danger of inflammability is thus slight. The user should, however, take the necessary care when working with inflammable materials at these high temperatures.

Always have a fire extinguisher ready!

There is a danger of fire when working on buildings.
Do not use the hot-air blower in rooms in which easily inflammable materials, liquids or gases are present.
- Caution! Danger of fire and explosion when working with plastics, paint, lacquer and similar materials. Toxic gases may develop, therefore work only in well ventilated rooms!
Do not use the appliance in damp rooms or if it is damp itself. Do not use outdoors if it is raining.
Caution! Danger of burning at metal blow-out tube! Do not touch!
Do not hold blow-out tube close to objects during or immediately after use! Put the hot-air blower away in such a way that the still warm blow-out tube does no harm.
If the motor fails, switch the hot-air blower off immediately, as otherwise heat accumulates inside it.
Do not impair the air suction or the hot-air outlet. Also do not use any additional nozzles which would alter the air-outlet profile, unless they were approved for use by the manufacturer, as the resulting accumulation of heat will damage the appliance.
The hot-air blower is constructed in such a way that it produces a concentrated stream of air without additional nozzles.
- Never point the hot-air stream at persons and never look directly into the jet orifice on the blow-out tube.
Do not leave the switched-on hot-air blower unattended!

• Switching on and off must be carried out by means of the switch on the hot-air blower and never by inserting or extracting the plug from the mains socket!
  The hot-air blower must be kept out of reach of children!
  Do not use as hair-drier (Danger of burns!!)

Initial operation

Before the first operation check that the mains voltage corresponds to that given on the machine nameplate.

The electronic hot-air blower 1600 HLG E is so constructed, that it may be used without difficulty and without accessories

1. as a manual hot-air blower
2. as a table hot-air blower in horizontal operation (using a pull-out support)
3. as a table hot-air blower in vertical operation (as standing hot-air blower like e.g. a Bunsen burner).

Switch with locking button for continuous operation

By pressing the switch (1) on the handle the hot-air blower is put into operation. For continuous operation the locking button (2) at the side is pressed down as well. To switch off again after continuous operation simply press locking button once again and it springs automatically up again.

Setting the temperature

The temperature is set by means of a rotary potentiometer (6), the range of which is marked by the numbers 1-6. The numbers are identical with the approximate working temperature, e.g. 2 = 200^, 6 = 600^ .

The hot-air blower produces constant hot air only after a few minutes operation, as all elements must first be heated up or in the case of temperature reduction, first cooled down.

Horizontal operation

The support (7) for horizontal operation can be locked in place by pulling it out until it catches. By pressing down the pull-out support slide in the housing, the support can be pushed back into the housing again.

Mains cable

Damaged mains cables must not be used. They are to be replaced immediately by an electrician.

Noise/vibration information

Measured values correspond with EN 60745.

Sound pressure level: = 65.8^+3 dB (A)

Sound power level: = 76.8^+3 dB (A)

Work place emission value: = 66.1^+3 dB (A)

The weighted acceleration is typically smaller than 2.5 m/s^2 .

In the interests of technical progress, all data are subject to alteration without notice.

Some sample applications

• Paints and enamels can be cleanly removed with the aid of a spatula (potentiometer position 3-6 as required).
• Frozen water pipes can be thawed without damage (temperature may be adjusted as required).

Take care when working near wooden walls and wooden false ceilings. Increased danger of fire or smouldering fire!
- Removing wallpaper with the aid of hot air, especially useful in the case of ingrain wallpapers.
- Loosening fitted carpets from below.
- Remove the subsoil from the car.
- Removing inconvenient stickers from cars.
- Remove blisters from PVC stickers by warming.
Waxing skis.
- Repairing of skis and surfboards and other sporting equipment.
Staining wood with hot air instead of using dangerous flames.
Sterilizing.
- Expansion of hoses and plastic pipes.
Repair of enamel defects.
- Soldering with tin solder, as well as tin coating of car body- and sheet-metal parts (potentiometer position 6 = . temp.).
- Dry paints and knifing fillers with hot air (potentiometer position 1-4, depending on permissible temperature).
- Contraction of packings (potentiometer posi

tion 3-6).
Shrinking of PVC and teflon tubes (potentiometer position 3-5).
- PVC, polystyrol, acrylic glass and plexiglass can be brought into the desired shape with the 1600 HLG E.
PVC, polystyrol at 300^ (approx. potentiometer position 3).
Acrylic glass and plexiglass at approx. 500^ (approx. potentiometer position 5).
- Weld-seal cracks in polyethylene containers, or polyethylene or PVC pipes, e.g. eaves gutters, water pipes with welding bands (potentiometer position approx. 3).
If a shaping operation has been completed, the further processing can be speeded up by blowing with the 1600 HLG E in potentiometer position 1.
- Dry construction joints safely before further processing with the 1600 HLG E (potentiometer position 1-6).
- Warming up of parts to be joined by means of pressing.
The 1600 HLGE is also ideal as a flameless Bunsen burner in the large temperature range from approx. 80 - 600^
Hot air may be used to help loosen screws that have been overtightened.
- Speeding up of adhesive operations.
Thawing.
- Thawing off of refrigerators and freezers (Attention! Plastics may be distorted under heat!).
