Safety instructions for heat gun WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
■ Take particular care when working in the vicinity offlammable materials. The hot airflow or hot nozzle may ignite dust or gases.
■ Do not work with the heat gun in potentially explosive areas.
■ 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.
■ DO NOT use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead which is poisonous.
■ Please be aware that heat is directed to covered flammable materials, which may ignite.
■ Safely place the heat gun on the storage surfaces after use and let it cool completely before packing it away. The hot nozzle can cause damage.
■ Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not hand held.
■ Do not let children use the heat gun unsupervised when it is switched on.
■ Store idle heat guns out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the heat gun or these instructions to operate the tool. Heat guns can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■ Always wear safety goggles. Safety goggles reduce the risk of injury.
- Keep your work area well-ventilated. The gas and steam produced during work are often harmful to one's health.
■ WARNING! Hot Surfaces. Always hold the heat gun by the plastic enclosure. Do not touch nozzle, nozzle attachments or store heat gun until the nozzle has cooled to room temperature.
■ Do not direct the airflow at persons or animals.
■ Do not direct the heat gun air airflow at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer. Heat guns can produce 530°C or more of flameless heat at the nozzle. Contact with the air stream could result in personal injury.
■ Do not direct airflow directly on glass. The glass may crack and could result in property damage or personal injury.
■ Do not leave the heat gun unattended when it is switched on.
■ Remove the battery before adjusting the tool settings, changing accessories, or storing the heat gun. This safety measure prevents the heat gun from being started accidentally.
■ Do not expose to rain or moisture. Store indoors in a dry location.

Operating instructions
WARNING!
Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Before switching on the power tool
Unpack the cordless heat gun and check that here are no missing or damaged parts.
NOTE
The batteries are not fully charged on delivery. Prior to initial operation, charge the batteries fully. Refer to the charger operating manual.
Inserting/replacing the battery
■ Press the charged battery into the power tool until it clicks into place (see figure B).
■ To remove, press the release button(1.) and pull out the battery(2.) (see figure C).
CAUTION!
When the device is not in use, protect the battery contacts. Loose metal parts may short circuit the contacts; explosion and fire hazard!
Strap fixing (see figure D)
WARNING!
Let the heat gun cool completely before attaching a wrist stap. The hot nozzle can cause damage.
- Strap fixing 8 is provided to attach a wrist strap (not included) in order to reduce the chances of dropping your tool. Wrap the strip around your hand when carrying the tool.
Installing/removing a nozzle attachment (see figure E)
WARNING!
Make sure the nozzle always points away from you and any bystanders.
■ To install, slide the nozzle attachment onto the heat gun nozzle (1) and twist it into place.
■ To remove, allow tool to cool to room temperature, then twist and pull the nozzle attachment away from tool.
Switching on the power tool (see figure F)
■ To switch the power tool on:
- Push the lock-off lever upwards (1.) and press the trigger switch (2.). Press the lock-on button (3.) for continuous operation.
■ To switch the power tool off:
- Release the trigger switch (6).
- To stop the tool from the continuous position, press the switch trigger (6) again.
NOTE
Let the tool cool down before moving or storing it.
LED light (see figure G)
■ The LED worklight (7) lights up when the heat gun is turned on.
■ Release trigger switch, the LED worklight (7) goes out automatically.
Power setting (see figure H)
■ Slide the power setting (2) backward for high heat or forward for low heat.
■ The heat gun is capable of producing temperatures in excess of approximately 260^ C on the low setting and 530^ C on the high setting.
Using the Heat Gun
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove or attach nozzle attachment until tool has cooled to room temperature.
NOTE
Do not position the nozzle too close to the workpiece that you are using the power tool on. The resulting air blockage can lead to the heat gun overheating.
The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece depends on the material you are working on (metal, plastic etc.) and the intended working method.
The optimum temperature for each application can be determined by a practical test.
Always test the amount of air and temperature first. Start at a greater distance and a lower power setting. Then adjust the distance and power setting according to requirements. If you are unsure what material you are working on or what effect the hot air might have on it, first test the effect on a concealed area.
You can work without accessories for all examples of work. However, using the recommended accessories will simplify the work and considerably increase the quality of the result.
Removing varnish/loosening adhesives
Fit the flat nozzle attachment (9). Briefly soften the varnish with hot air and remove it with a clean spatula. Long heat exposure burns the varnish and makes removal more difficult. Many adhesives can be softened using heat. By heating adhesives, you can break connections or remove excess adhesive.
Soft Soldering
Fit the reduction nozzle attachment (10). If you are using solder without flux, apply soldering grease or paste to the solder joint. Heat the solder joint and apply the solder. The solder must be melted by the temperature of the workpiece. If necessary, remove the flux after the solder joint has cooled down.
Heat-shrinking
Fit the reflector nozzle attachment (11). Choose the diameter of the heat shrink plastic tube suitable for the workpiece. Evenly heat the heat shrink plastic tube until it fits closely against the workpiece.
Maintenance and care
WARNING!
Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Cleaning
■ Clean the power tool and grille in front of the vent slots regularly. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the material and duration of use.
■ Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry compressed air.
Spare parts and accessories
For other accessories, in particular tools and polishing aids, see the manufacturer's catalogues.
