Operating Instructions
Note: Do not apply the nozzle 1 too close to the work-
piece being worked. The hot air build-up can lead to
overheating of the power tool.
Removing the Heat Protection Collar
The heat protection collar 2 can be removed when
working at particularly hard-to-reach locations.
Be careful of the hot nozzle! Increased danger
of burning exists when working without the heat
protection collar.
To remove or mount the heat protection collar 2,
switch the power tool off and allow it to cool down.
Turn the heat protection collar 2 in anticlockwise
direction to remove and in clockwise direction to
mount again.
Placing Down the Power Tool
Place the power tool down on both standing surfaces
5 in order for it to cool down or to have both hands
free for working.
Be especially careful when working with the
placed down power tool! There is danger of burn-
ing oneself on the hot nozzle or on the hot air jet.
Work Examples
The illustrations of the work examples can be found on
the fold-out pages.
The temperature settings in the work examples are ref-
erence values that can vary, depending on the mate-
rial characteristics. The distance between the nozzle
and the workpiece depends on the material to be
worked.
The optimal temperature for the respective application
can be determined by practical testing. Always start
with a low temperature setting.
All application examples can be performed without
accessories except for "Removing Varnish/Paint from
Windows". However, the use of recommended acces-
sories simplifies the work and significantly improves the
quality of the result.
Be careful when changing the nozzle! Do not
touch the hot nozzle. Allow the power tool to
cool down and wear protective gloves while
changing the nozzle. Danger of burning oneself
on the hot nozzle.

Removing Varnish/Softening Adhesives
(see figure A)
Mount the wide jet nozzle 6 (accessory). Briefly soften
the varnish applying hot air and remove it using a
sharp, clean scraper or putty knife. Applying heat too
long will burn the varnish, making it more difficult to
remove.
Many adhesives (e.g. of stickers) become soft when
heated. Heated adhesives allow for bonds to be sep-
arated or excessive adhesive to be removed.
Removing Varnish/Paint from Windows
(see figure B)
Use of the glass protection nozzle 7 (acces-
sory) is essential. Danger of glass breaking.
On profiled surfaces, varnish can be removed using
an appropriately fitting spatula and brushed off with a
soft wire brush.
Shaping Plastic Tubing (see figure C)
Mount the reflector nozzle 8 (accessory). To avoid
kinking of the tubing, fill the tubing with sand and plug
both ends. Heat the tubing evenly by by applying the
heat from side to side.
Welding Plastics (see figure D)
Mount the reduction nozzle 11 and the welding shoe
10 (both accessories). The workpieces to be welded
and the welding rod 9 (accessory) must be of the
same material (e.g. both of PVC). The seam must be
clean and grease-free.
Carefully heat up the seam location until it becomes
doughy. Please note that the temperature difference
between the doughy and liquid state of plastic is low.
Feed in the welding rod 9 and allow it to run into the
gap so that a uniform bead is produced.
Shrinking (see figure E)
Mount the reduction nozzle 11 (accessory). Select the
diameter of the heat-shrinkable sleeve 12 (accessory)
according to the workpiece (e.g. a cable lug). Heat the
heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.
Defrosting Water Pipes (see figure F)
Before heating pipes, check to make sure
that it is actually a water pipe. Water lines
often do not differ in appearance from gas lines.
Gas lines are not to be heated under any circum-
stances.
Mount the reflector nozzle 8 (accessory). Always apply
heat to the frozen areas from the outside to the middle.
Heat up plastic pipes as well as connections between
pipe pieces especially careful to prevent damage.
