WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 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. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aff ect the power toolsʼ operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 00BookRH600TWE.indb500BookRH600TWE.indb5 2019/07/1210:33:352019/07/1210:33:356 English PRECAUTION Keep children and infi rm persons away.

1. Switch Operations and Temperature Adjustments

(Fig. 1, 2) Press the switch upward or downward to enable continual operations even when your fi nger is removed. Press the protrusion lightly to return the switch to the central position and turn off the power. The wind temperature and wind volume can be adjusted in two stages depending on which way the switch is set. Switch [I] position: 110 V: 250°C (wind volume 0.25 m

Switch [II] position: 110 V to 127 V: 500°C (wind volume 0.5 m

Press the quick cooling button and press the switch to blow warm air at approximately 50 degrees Celsius for each of the switch’s wind volumes. This is used to quickly cool material that is heat- warping and to cool the nozzle when it reaches high temperatures after using the tool.

2. Using the Hook (Fig. 3)

CAUTION ○ When pointing the tool upward to work, make sure that it is placed on a stable block that does not tilt. ○ Do not hang the tool from your wrist or waist when moving around with the nozzle still hot. Support the tool fi rmly when pointing the heat-wind release nozzle upward. Also, it is possible to suspend the tool from a wrist, etc., with a cord to prevent it from being dropped when working in high locations, etc.

3. Attaching the Nozzle (Fig. 4)

CAUTION The nozzle is extremely hot immediately after use, so do not touch it. NOTE Make sure you do not drop the nozzle. Replace the nozzle for a type that is suited to the job in hand. Insert the nozzle supplied fi rmly into the hot wind release nozzle until it can go no further.

4. Temperature Settings

WARNING ○ Do not use the tool in the vicinity of volatile substances (thinner, gasoline, etc.) ○ Do not bring the hot wind release nozzle in close contact with your hands or face during use. The nozzle is extremely hot immediately after use, so do not touch it. Set the temperature in consideration of the article to be heated. Also, pay attention to the surrounding material that will be heated at the same time. First of all, apply the hot wind from a distance while checking that there are no changes in the article being heated, and then move it closer until it reaches an appropriate distance. Heating infl ammable substances (paper, wood, plastic, etc.) Set the switch to the [I] position and apply the heat with the nozzle at least 10cm away from the article being heated. Gently move the tip of the nozzle up, down, left and right to apply the heat. Applying heat constantly to one location may result in malformation or the outbreak of smoke. Heating non-fl ammable substances (metal, stone, concrete, etc.) Set the switch to the [I] position, and if there are no problems, move it to the [II] position. Apply the heat with the nozzle at least 5cm away from the article being heated. Holding the nozzle too close may result in the tool overheating, leading to malfunctions. WORK EXAMPLE CAUTION Parts of the nozzles supplied are sharp, so use gloves when removing them from the case and when attaching or detaching them. Select the nozzle in consideration of the shape of the article being heated and the area being heated.

1. Peeling off paint (Fig. 5)

Use nozzle (fl at) or nozzle (round) to soften the paint with the hot wind, and then remove it with the scraper supplied. Note that heating the paint too much may result in it scorching and becoming harder, making it diffi cult to scrape off .

2. Softening adhesive (Fig. 6)

Use nozzle (fl at) or nozzle (round) to soften the surface and make it easy to peel, and then pull up one of the edges, blow heat underneath it and gently peel it off so that none of the adhesive remains.

3. Heat wrapping (Fig. 7)

Use nozzle (fl at) to heat-wrap shrink fi lm and tubes. The material will change color or crack if hot air is blown onto it from a close distance, so maintain an appropriate distance while monitoring progress.

4. Forming resin pipes (Fig. 8)

Use nozzle (curved surface) to evenly heat the circumference of the resin pipe. To prevent the inside of the pipe from narrowing when bending it, etc., pour sand inside, block both ends and then gently bend it.

5. Removing putty from window frames (Fig. 9)

Use nozzle (glass protector) to soften the putty with heat, and then remove the putty with the scraper supplied. Note that glass may crack if heat is continually applied to it.

6. Defrosting water pipes (Fig. 10)

Use nozzle (curved surface) to heat the frozen area from the edge to the center. Do not mistake water pipes for glass pipes. Take care to avoid damaging frozen resin areas on water pipes. 00BookRH600TWE.indb800BookRH600TWE.indb8 2019/07/1210:33:352019/07/1210:33:359 English [Eff ectively Using the Quick Cooling Button] Press the quick cooling button and press the switch to blow warm air at approximately 50 degrees Celsius for each of the switch’s wind volumes. This is used to quickly cool material that is heat- warping and to cool the nozzle when it reaches high temperatures after using the Heat Gun.
