Operation: Put the mains
plug into a normal

only with AC voltages prin­ted on the hot-air-gun-

label) protective contact
socket - switch the Hot Air
Gun on.

step I

= low heat (app.

300”

C/575” F)

half-speed

step II = high heat (app.

525O C/lOOO” F)

full-speed

The hot air can be directed

(either to a certain point or
surface) by using the addi­tional attachable nozzles.

These are simply attached
to the outlet nozzle.

The “HL 500” and
HL “1400 S” can be either
hand-held or stood verti­cally.

When hand-held the hot air
guns are held like a hot-melt
glue gun or drilling machine
so that the forefinger is free
to operate the switch.

When using in a vertical

position position the
Hot Air Gun as a Bunsen

burner using the cool air in­let (make sure that the
surface is clean and dust-

free, otherwise the polluted

air may damage the motor
eliminating any warranty

rights).

The required distance from
the working surface de-

pends on the material and

the application. A trial test

on a inconspicuous spot is
recommended for determi­ning the air flow and tem­perature.
