For all its high performance and its useful- ness, the device is still surprisingly compact: The small and light MH 550 enables fatigue- proof work, and its 1.8 m long mains cable provides an appropriately large operating range. The greatest possible flexibility is provided by the 3 included attachment noz- zles (reflector nozzle, spot nozzle, flat noz- zle): The shape of the air flow can be optimally adapted to the respective work task. We made the housing of sturdy glass fibre reinforced plastic and integrated soft com- ponents for a comfortable grip. Defined foot- prints enable stationary use; the device can also be set up and then held securely by an adjustable wire stand.

3. After completing work with your heat gun,

use the switch to turn off the device. Caution: When setting down the device, be aware that the nozzle could be very hot! You must permit the nozzle to cool down and make sure that it cannot come into contact with flammable materials! Caution: Please make sure that the air inlet and the nozzle remain free and that there is no dirt inside! This could obstruct the air flow and cause the device to overload. Replacing or attaching the supplied attachment nozzles: Caution: Pull out the plug from the power socket be- fore you adjust the device settings, replace accessories, or put the device away. These precautions prevent the device from starting unintentionally. - 9 -During operation, do not touch the nozzle attached to the device! Risk of burns! Please note that the device requires a cool- ing-down phase after it has been switched off! The special shapes of the three nozzles in- cluded in the delivery enable the air jet to conform to the shape of the work. Depend- ing on the intended application, they are simply attached or removed, as shown in Fig. 2. Positioning the heat gun Setting down the heat gun MH 550 The housing has small elevations (Item 3 Fig. 1) upon which the gun can be set down. These elevations make sure that the air jet is always directed upwards. Please note that when using particular attachment noz- zles, there may be contact between the noz- zle and the depositing surface! This presents a risk of burning and scorching! Setting up your heat gun MH 550 (Fig. 3): Please clamp both sides of the wire stand in the rear ventilation slits as seen in Fig. 3. The device can then be set up as shown in the illustration. The air jet points up. This makes it possible to hold and process a work piece with both hands. Hanging up the heat gun MH 550 The top of the housing has a foldable hook, see Fig. 4. The MH 550 can be hooked and hung up here, such as on a spring balancer. Cleaning and Care: Caution: Always pull out the mains plug before main- tenance, cleaning and repairs. If the mains plug remains in the power socket, then there is a risk of electric shock! Have your device repaired only by qualified specialists using only original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the device is retained. Regularly check the power lead of the elec- tric device. If the lead is damaged, have it repaired by qualified specialists. The insula- tion of the cable could be accidentally scorched. This can cause electric shock or a short-circuit! This presents a risk of elec- tric shock! Mortal danger! With the exception of occasional cleaning, the device is primarily maintenance-free. Observe the following when cleaning: To ensure a long service life, the machine should be cleaned with a soft cloth, hand brush or paintbrush after each time it is used. The outside of the housing can be cleaned with a soft, possibly damp cloth or with a brush. In this process, mild soap or another suitable cleaning agent can be used. Sol- vents or cleaning agents containing alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohol etc.) should be avoided, since they can attack the plastic parts. No other special maintenance activities are necessary beyond that. Disposal: Do not dispose of the device in the house- hold waste! The machine contains materials that can be recycled. If you have questions concerning this topic, please contact your municipal disposal company or other appro- priate municipal institutions. - 10 -EC Declaration of Conformity Name and address of the manufacturer: PROXXON S.A. 6-10, Härebierg L-6868 Wecker Product designation: MH 550 Article No.: 27130 In sole responsibility, we declare that this product conforms to the following directives and normative documents: EU Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC EU EMC Directive 2004/108/EC Date: 3 September 2010 Dipl.-Ing.
