(6) 86 mm 1 619 PB2 771 Ø 20 mm 1 619 PB2 931 1 609 92A 4FD | (25.03.2021) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 5 English Safety instructions Read all the safety information and instruc- tions. Failure to observe the safety informa- tion and follow instructions may result in elec- tric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. u This heat gun is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental limita- tions or a lack of experience or knowledge. This heat gun can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has in- structed them in the safe opera- tion of the heat gun and they un- derstand the associated dangers. Otherwise there is a risk of operating errors and injury. u Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. This will ensure that children do not play with the heat gun. u Handle the power tool with care. The power tool produces intense heat which increases the risk of fire and explosion. u Take particular care when working in the vicinity of flammable materials. The hot airflow or hot nozzle may ignite dust or gases. u Do not work with the power tool in potentially explos- ive areas. u Do not aim the hot airflow at the same area for pro- longed periods. Working with plastic, paint, varnish or similar materials may produce easily flammable gases. u Please be aware that heat is directed to covered flam- mable materials, which may ignite. u Safely place the power tool on the storage surfaces after use and let it cool completely before packing it away. The hot nozzle can cause damage. u Do not leave the switched-on power tool unattended.u Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. u Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. u Do not misuse the cable, for example by using it to carry, hang up or unplug the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat and oil. Damaged or entangled cords in- crease the risk of electric shock. u Always wear safety goggles. Safety goggles reduce the risk of injury. u Pull the plug out of the socket before adjusting the tool settings, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. u Always check the power tool, cable and plug before use. Stop using the power tool if you discover any damage. Do not open the power tool yourself, and have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged power tools, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock. Keep your work area well-ventilated. The gas and steam produced during work are often harmful to one's health. u Wear protective gloves and do not touch the nozzle while it is hot. There is a risk of burns. u Do not direct the airflow at persons or animals.u Do not use the power tool as a hair dryer. The outgoing airflow is considerably hotter than that that of a hair dryer. u Do not allow foreign objects to enter the power tool.u The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece depends on the material you are working on (metal, plastic, etc.) and the intended working method. Al- ways test the amount of air and temperature first. u If operating the power tool in a damp location is un- avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec- ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. u Never use the power tool if the cable is damaged. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull out the mains plug if the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4FD | (25.03.2021)6 | English If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au- thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

A) At an ambient temperature of approx. 20°C The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific models. Noise/vibration information Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power tool is less than 70dB(A). Total vibration values a

Operation Starting operation u Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Creation of Smoke During Initial Use A coating protects the metal surfaces from corrosion ex- works. This protective layer evaporates during initial use. Switching On Slide the on/off switch (2) upwards. Thermal protection shutdown: If the power tool overheats (e.g. due to a build-up of air or too little air supply), the heat- ing system will automatically switch off, though the blower will continue to run. Once the power tool has cooled back down to its operating temperature, the heating system will automatically switch on again. Switching Off Slide the on/off switch(2) downwards into the0position. u After working at high temperatures for a prolonged period, let the power tool cool down before switching it off. To do this, allow it to run on the lowest temper- ature setting for a short while. Selecting a Power Setting You can choose between different power settings using the on/off switch (2): Power setting °C l/min
