Preset the temperature you require (25–600°C) at the temperature regulator. The temperature level as well as the letter "A" to show the setting mode are indicated on the LED segment display. Once the temperature has been preset, the tool automatically starts to show the actual temperature after approx. 3 seconds. The selected and actual temperatures are displayed in 10°C increments. The airflow rate can be continuously varied at the airflow regulator . These regulations reflect the latest standards on mains pollution (EN 61000-3-3 Flicker standard, EN 61000-3-2 Harmonics standard). The tool has intelligent temperature and airflow control. This always gives priority to the temperature setting (see diagram). Example: to reach the maximum tempera- ture of 600°C while setting the motor speed to max. air delivery, the electronic system automatically reduces the airflow rate until 600°C is are reached. Accordingly, the air- flow rate is increased again as soon as the temperature is lowered. The plug-in heating ele- ment in the HG 5000 E can be changed in a matter of seconds. Every heating element contains a chip with your specific data. On fitting a new heating element, its parameters are imported by the control electronics.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip- ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. WARNING! This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 1100° F of flameless heat at the nozzle. ALWAYS:

Direct the heat away from yourself and others.

Prevent ignition of combustible materials on or near the workpiece.

Prevent blockage of intake and nozzle openings.

Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher on hand.

Allow the nozzle and accessory tips to cool to room temperature before storage. Cautions

1. WARNING: Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors,

soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the hot air gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to per- sons. Do not use if in doubt about this hazard. When working in these locations, keep the hot air gun moving in a back-and- forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.

2. This hot air gun can produce up to 1100° F of flameless heat

at the nozzle. Do not direct airstream at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.

3. Do not use near flammable liquids or in an explosive environ-

ment (fumes, gases or dust). Remove materials or debris, that may become ignited, from work area.

4. Always hold tool by plastic enclosure. The metal nozzle requires

approximately 20 minutes to cool to where it can be touched. Do not touch nozzle or accessory tips until cool.

5. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled to room temperature.

Place tool in a clear area away from combustible materials while cooling. US- 120 - - 121 -

6. Do not cut off air flow by placing nozzle too close to workpiece.

Keep intake vents clean and clear of obstructions.

7. Place tool on a level surface with the support rubber ring when

tool is not hand held. Place cord in a position that won’t cause tipping.

8. Do not leave tool unattended while running or cooling down.

Otherwise risk of fire.

9. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby.

10. Do not direct air flow directly on glass.

11. Shield materials around the heated area to prevent damage or fire.

12. Use only with 240 V AC voltage.

13. Do not use in wet conditions.

14. Not to be used by children. This is not a toy and should be

15. Do not use in bath or over water.

16. Safety glasses should be worn when using this tool.

17. It is recommended that leather gloves be worn when using

19. WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint.

The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Before begin- ning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HOT AIR GUN. Persons removing materials should follow these guidelines.

1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep

the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.

2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking

utensils and air ducts.

3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any residue. Wear

protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed

or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.

5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing

mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.

6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume)

respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

7. Use caution when operating the hot air gun. Keep the hot air

gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.

8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms

and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area. US- 122 - - 123 -

9. Clean up all removed residue and dust by wet mopping the

floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where residue or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.

10. At the end of each work session put the residue and debris in

a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties, and dispose of properly.

11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area

to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
