device, mains lead and mains plug at
regular intervals.

Devices with damaged parts must not be used.

The device should never be opened. Damaged
devices, mains leads or mains plugs may cause
death by electric shock. Repair or replacement
work should only be carried out by the service
centre or a qualified electrician.

damaged or cut through while you are using
the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket
immediately and have the device repaired by a
suitably qualified person or at your service centre.

J Do not operate the device if it is damp

and do not use it in a damp environment.

J If you use the device outdoors, always connect it

through a residual current device with a maximum
trip current of 30 mA.
If using an extension lead always use one that is
approved for outdoor use.

J Always work with the mains lead leading away

from the rear of the device.

To avoid the danger of injury,

burning and dangers to your health :

J Never use the device as a hairdryer.

air nozzle E.

J Danger of burns! Do not touch

the hot nozzle. Wear protective gloves.

J Wear protective glasses.

J In addition, you should never leave the device

working unattended.

J Bear in mind the high rate of heat

generation.

 If the device is not used carefully,

it can give rise to increased

risk of fire or explosion.

J Do not work in the vicinity of easily ignitable

gases or materials.

Heating of plastics, paints, varnishes etc.

can lead to the creation of gases that are
hazardous to health. Make sure you always
have adequate ventilation.

J Let the device cool down completely before

you put it into storage. Always place your
heat gun down on its end, with the nozzle
pointing upwards (see Fig. D).



Handling the device correctly:

J If danger arises, pull the mains plug immediately

out of the mains socket.

J Never use the device for a purpose for which

changing the nozzle) or when you are not using
the device, always pull the mains plug out of the
mains socket.

J Do not direct the device at the same spot for too

long a period.

J Do not hold the nozzle outlet too close to the

workpiece or the surface on which you are
working. If the airflow is constricted it can lead
to overheating of the device.

J Always keep the device clean, dry and free of

oil or grease.

J Be aware of areas other than the one you are

directly working on. The heat can reach
inflammable materials that may be outside your
field of view.

L Changing the nozzle

Reflector nozzle T – for shaping plastic pipes
or tubes :

j Fill the pipe or tube with sand and ensure it is

closed at both ends. This will prevent the pipe or
tube from kinking. Warm the pipe or tube evenly
by moving the hot air gun from side to side and
backwards and forwards.

Protector nozzle Y – for removing paint
and varnish :

j The spatula shape of the nozzle ensures the air

is properly directed. Use a separate spatula for
removing paint or varnish.

Flat nozzle U – for detaching glues,
softening paint :

j Do not apply heat for too long a period, as burnt

paint becomes much more difficult to remove.
Many glues can be softened by warming.
Glued connections can then be detached and
excess glue removed.

Danger! Do not inhale any vapours given off.

Reducing nozzle I – for welding plastic:

j Use the reducing nozzle I for heat-shrinkable

sleeves and film.
