Use
The hot-air blower is universally suitable for work with a
wide variety of materials. See the Sample application in
these operating instructions.
The hot-air blower HLG 2000 E makes possible an elec-
tronic continuously adjustable temperature setting 80–
600 °C with a large volume of air of up to 400 litres/min.
Double insulation
Our equipment is designed in accordance with European
regulations (EN standards) for the utmost safety of the
user. Machines with double insulation always carry the
international symbol. The machines do not require
earthing. A two-core cable is sufficient. The machines are
interference-suppressed in accordance with EN 55014.
Safety instructions and prevention of accidents
Before operating the machine, please read through the
operating instructions completely, follow the Safety
Instructions in this manual as well as the general Safety
Instructions for Power Tools in the accompanying
booklet.
Attention! Safety and accident prevention!
Important information which you must take note of:
The HLG 2000 E produces hot air to a max. temperature
of 600 °C. This high temperature is attained by having
the air flow past a glowing resistance wire.
At max. temperature setting the filament becomes red
hot, without producing a naked flame however. The
danger of inflammability is thus slight. The user should,
however, take the necessary care when working with
inflammable materials at these high temperatures.
Always have a fire extinguisher ready!
- There is a danger of fire when working on buildings.
- Do not use the hot-air blower in rooms in which
easily inflammable materials, liquids or gases are
present.
- Caution! Danger of fire and explosion when working
with plastics, paint, lacquer and similar materials.
Toxic gases may develop, therefore work only in well
ventilated rooms!
- Do not use the appliance in damp rooms or if it is
damp itself. Do not use outdoors if it is raining.
- Caution! Danger of burning at metal blow-out tube!
Do not touch!
- Do not hold blow-out tube close to objects during or
immediately after use! Put the hot-air blower away in
such a way that the still warm blow-out tube does no
harm.
- If the motor fails, switch the hot-air blower off

immediately, as otherwise heat accumulates inside it.
- Do not impair the air suction or the hot-air outlet.
Also do not use any additional nozzles which would
alter the air-outlet profile, unless they were approved
for use by the manufacturer, as the resulting accu-
mulation of heat will damage the appliance.
- The hot-air blower is constructed in such a way that
it produces a concentrated stream of air without
additional nozzles.
- Never point the hot-air stream at persons and never
look directly into the jet orifice on the blow-out tube.
- Do not leave the switched-on hot-air blower un-
attended!
- Switching on and off must be carried out by means of
the switch on the hot-air blower and never by insert-
ing or extracting the plug from the mains socket!
- The hot-air blower must be kept out of reach of chil-
dren!
- Do not use as hair-drier (Danger of burns!)!
Initial operation
Before the first operation check that the mains voltage cor-
responds to that given on the machine nameplate.
The electronic hot-air blower HLG 2000 E is so con-
structed, that it may be used without difficulty and without
accessories
1. as a manual hot-air blower
2. as a table hot-air blower in horizontal operation (using a
pull-out support)
3. as a table hot-air blower in vertical operation (as standing
hot-air blower like e.g. a Bunsen burner).
Switch with locking button for continuous operation
By pressing the switch (1) on the handle the hot-air blower
is put into operation. For continuous operation the locking
button (2) at the side is pressed down as well. To switch off
again after continuous operation simply press locking but-
ton once again and it springs automatically up again.
Setting the temperature
The temperature is set by means of a rotary potentiometer
(6), the range of which is marked by the numbers 1–6. The
numbers are identical with the approximate working tem-
perature, e.g. 2 = 200 °C, 6 = 600 °C.
The hot-air blower produces constant hot air only after a
few minutes operation, as all elements must first be heated
up or in the case of temperature reduction, first cooled
down.
Horizontal operation
The support (7) for horizontal operation can be locked in
place by pulling it out until it catches. By pressing down the
pull-out support slide in the housing, the support can be
pushed back into the housing again.
Mains cable
Damaged mains cables must not be used. They are to be
replaced immediately by an electrician.
