Danger! Unplug the tool before opening it, as live compo­nents and connections are exposed.

Incorrect use of hot air tools can present a fire and explo-
sion hazard, particularly in the proximity of flammable
materials and explosive gases.

The tool must be operated under supervision.
Heat can ignite flammable materials which are not in view.

For personal protection, we strongly recommend the tool
to be connected to an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) before using it on construction sites.

The rated voltage stated on the tool must correspond with
the mains voltage.

Danger of getting burned! Do not touch the end of the
heater tube and nozzle when they are hot. Let the tool
cool down. Do not point the hot air flow in the direction of
people or animals.

Protect the tool from damp and wet.

Drive/pressure roller

• Drive speed → continuously adjustable and electronically controlled. The

control circuit is configured such that the desired welding speed remains
constant during any voltage fluctuations. The drive/pressure roller (8) is
configured as a pendulum roller.

• Welding pressure → the welding pressure is brought to bear on the material

by means of the machine’s weight and the extra weight (3) via the

drive/pressure roller (8).

• Heating system → the hot wedge temperature is continuously adjustable and

electronically controlled. Depending on the material, the hot wedge position
can be sent to any required horizontal position.
