Operation / Cleaning / Disposal / InformationQOperation
Q Preparing the device for use
The mains voltage at the mains socket must match
that shown on the rating plate on the device.
Devices marked with 230 V can also be operated at
220 V.
CAUTIOn! When using the device, never allow
the ventilation slots to be covered.
Switching the applia nce on:
j Push the ON / OFF switch 2 to the position
“I”, “II” or “III”.
Switching the applia nce off:
j Push the ON / OFF switch 2 to the position “0”.
Setting the air flow and t emperature:
With the temperature and air volume regulator 2
you have three different blower levels available.
You can thus select an air volume and temperature
setting suitable for the particular application:
Setting I 250 l / min 30 °C
Setting II 350 l / min 400 °C
Setting III 600 l / min 600 °C
The Cold-Air Setting I is suitable for:
- Drying varnish / paint
- Cooling of heated workpieces
- Cooling the appliance before storage / changing
the nozzles
removing the heat shield :
CAUTIOn! The appliance must be completely
cooled down before you remove or put on
the heat protector.
CAUTIOn! DAnGer OF bUrnS! Do not
touch the hot nozzle. When you are working with-
out the heat shield 3 there is an increased risk of
burns. Remove the heat shield 3 for working in
particularly narrow spaces.
j Pull the heat protector 3 to the fore.
Use as free-standi ng unit / during
cooling (see Fig. b, e):
j Always set the device down upright on
a level surface, this will allow
· you to have both hands free
· the device to cool
Q Changing the nozzle
WArnInG! Too much heat causes paints
and plastics to ignite.
DAnGer! Do not inhale the resulting vapours.
reflector nozzle 5 – for shaping plastic
pipes or tubes (see Ill. b):
j Place the reflector nozzle 5 on the outlet
tube 4.
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.
j Warm the pipe evenly, in that you move it
back and forth.
Protector nozzle 6 – for removing paint
and varnish (see Ill. C):
j Place the protector nozzle 6 on the
outlet tube 4.
j The spatula shape of the nozzle ensures the air
is properly directed. Use a separate spatula for
removing paint or varnish.
Flat nozzle 7 – for det aching glues,
softening paint (see Ill . D):
j Place the flat nozzle 7 on the outlet tube 4.
j Do not apply heat for too long a period, as
burnt paint becomes much more difficult to re-
move. Many glues can be softened by warm-
ing. Glued connections can then be detached
and excess glue removed.
reducing nozzle 8 – f or welding plastic:
j Place the reducer nozzle 8 on the
outlet tube 4.
j Use the reducing nozzle 8 for heat-shrinkable
sleeves and film.
