Failure to observe the operating instruc- tions may result in the tool be- coming a source of danger. When using electric power tools, ob- serve the following basic safety pre- cautions to avoid electric shock as well as the risk of injury and fire. Used carelessly, the tool can start an unintentional fire or injure persons. Check the tool for any damage (mains connection lead, housing etc.) before putting it into operation and do not use the tool if it is damaged. Do not leave the tool switched on unattended. Children should be supervised to make sure they do not play with the tool. First time of use A small quantity of smoke may occur when the tool is used for the first time. This smoke is caused by bind- ing agents released from the heater's insulating film during the first time of use. To let the smoke escape quickly, the tool should be set down on its stand- ing surface. The area you are working in should be well ventilated when us- ing the tool for the first time. Any smoke coming out of the tool is not harmful! Take the ambient conditions into account. Do not expose electric power tools to rain. Do not use electric power tools when they are damp or in a damp or wet environment. Exercise care when using the tool in the prox- imity of flammable materials. Do not direct the tool at one and the same place for a prolonged period. Do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere. Heat may be conduc- ted to flammable materials that are hidden from direct sight. Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid coming in contact with grounded objects, such as pipes, radiators, cookers or refrigerators. Do not leave the tool unattended while in operation.

Safety warnings- 12 - - 13 - Changing the power cord (HL 2020 E only)

f the power cord is damaged, it can easily be changedwithout opening the casing.1. Important! Disconnect tool from power supply.2. Undo screw and remove cover cap .3. Release cable grip .4. Undo mains terminals .5. Pull out cord .6. Insert new cord and secure in reverse order (1. Firmly screw down mains terminals etc.).

Residual heat indicator (HL 2020 E only) The residual heat indicator serves as a visual warning to prevent injury from direct contact with the hot nozzle outlet. The residual heat indi- cator also works when the tool is unplugged. The indicator starts working after the tool has been in use for 90 seconds and keeps flashing until the temper- ature at the nozzle outlet has fallen below 60 °C at room temperature. The residual heat indicator does not show if the tool has been in opera- tion for less than 90 seconds. Re- sponsibility always rests with the user and care must be taken at all times when handling hot air tools. Keep these safety precautions with the tool. Safety warnings These hot air tools are doubly protected from overheating:1. A thermostat switches the heater off if too much of theair outlet nozzle is obstructed (heat build-up). However,the blower continues to run. A warning triangle on thedisplay tells you that the heater is switched off.Once the air delivery nozzle is clear again, the heater au-tomatically switches back on again after a few moments.The warning triangle then goes out. The thermostat mayalso respond after switching the hot air tool off, taking itlonger than usual to reach temperature at the air deliverynozzle when it is switched on again. *2. The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it isoverloaded.* for HL 2020 E only For your safety Tool description - Operation

lease note: The distance from the object you are workingon depends on material and intended method of working. lways try out the airflow and temperature on a test piecefirst. Using the attachable accessory nozzles (see acces-sories page on the cover) the flow of hot air can be con-trolled with maximum precision. Take care when changinghot nozzles! When using the hot air tool in the self-resting osition, make sure it is standing on a stable, non-slip andclean surface. HL 1620 S

he tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switchon the back of the grip handle. Airflow and temperature canbe 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 1820 S The tool is switched on and off via the three-stage switchon the back of the grip handle. Airflow and temperaturecan be adjusted to 3 settings. Stage 1 (cool air stage)reaches 50°C at an airflow rate of 100 l/min, stage 2 reach-es 400°C at 300 l/min and stage 3 reaches 600°C at 500 l/min. The guard sleeve detaches by means of abayonet catch. HL 1920 E The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switchon the back of the grip handle. In addition to three-stagespeed/airflow control (stage 1 is a cold-air stage at 80 °C),temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of80 °C – 600 °C in settings 2 and 3 at the thumbwheel .The numbers 1 - 9 on the thumbwheel serve as a guide only. Whereas "1" means 80 °C, the maximum temperatureof 600 °C is attained at "9". Airflow can be adjusted to thethree stages of 150 / 150-300 / 300-500 l/min. The guardsleeve detaches at a bayonet catch. HL 2020 E The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switchon the back of the grip handle. In addition to three-stage speed/airflow control at the switch , temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of 80 °C to 630 °C insettings 2 and 3 at the rocker switch . The target temper-ature can be increased in 10 °C increments by pressing the right-hand "+" side of the rocker switch or reduced by pressing the left-hand "–" side of the rocker switch . Keeping the button pressed will continue to increase or re-duce the temperature in steps of 10 °C until the rocker but-ton is released or the minimum or maximum temperature isset. The temperature setting is shown on the display for 3 seconds. On lowering or increasing the temperature, theactual temperature is then displayed at the delivery nozzle.The °C/°F symbol flashes during this period. As soon as theselected temperature is reached, this symbol stops flashingand is displayed all the time. Blower stage 1 delivers a tem-perature of 80 °C. When the tool has been operating at hightemperatures on blower stage 2 or 3 it will take a short whileto cool to 80 °C after switching down to blower stage 1.While the tool is cooling down, the LCD display showsthe actual temperature at the nozzle outlet. After switchingoff, the tool stays in the last setting that was selected. Theguard sleeve detaches at a bayonet catch.

ere are some of the applications you can use STEINEL hotair tools for. This selection is by no means exhaustive – no oubt you can immediately think of other examples. aint stripping:Paint is softened and can be removed with a stripping knife nd paint scraper to leave a clean surface.Shrinking tubing on cables:The shrink tubing is slipped over the section you want to in- ulate and heated with hot air. The tubing shrinks by approx.50% in diameter to give a sealed union. Shrinking is particu- arly fast and even using reflector nozzles. Sealing and sta-bilising cable breaks, insulating soldered joints, gathering ca-ble runs, sheathing terminal blocks.Forming PVC:Sheeting, piping or ski boots can be softened and formedwith hot air.Lighting barbecues:Gets charcoal glowing in next to no time; no more waiting.Thawing:Water pipes, frozen door locks, steps. Gently thaws anddries 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 solderingwire. Use flux or a soldering wire with a flux core to preventoxide 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 thetwo sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller. Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap weld-ing with a slit nozzle.
