HEAT SETTINGS
Prior operation we recommend testing the appropriate
temperature on a scrap piece of material.
HAG 2000
The air flow temperature at the nozzle in position I of
switch (6) is 60°C. Please note that upon commutation
from position II or III to position I of the switch a certain
period is necessary for the temperature to drop to 60°C.
HAG 2000E (Fig. 1)
The air flow temperature at the nozzle in position I of
switch (6) is 60°C. Please note that upon commutation
from position II or III to position I of the switch a certain
period is necessary for the temperature to drop to 60°C.
In addition to the 3-stage air flow control, the tempera-
ture can be adjusted in the range 60°C to 550°C by ro-
tating the temperature regulator (5a) in direction „–" for
decreasing or „+" for increasing it.
HAG 2000ED (Fig. 1a)
The air flow temperature at the nozzle in position I of
switch (6) is 50°C. Please note that upon commutation
from position II or III to position I of the switch a certain
period is necessary for the temperature to drop to 50°C.
The air flow temperature change is shown on the display
(7) by blinking arrows ▲ or ▼. Upon reaching the target
temperature the arrows disappear and the display shows
the actual temperature.
In addition to the 3-stage air flow control, the tempera-
ture can be adjusted by buttons (5) in the range 70°C to
600°C. The necessary temperature can be set in steps
10°C each by pressing the left "–" button for decreas-
ing or the right "+" button for increasing the tempera-
ture. Brief pressing a button changes the temperature
by 10°C. Prolonged pressing a button changes the tem-
perature continuously by 10°C steps until reaching the
target temperature.
The hot air gun features double overheat protection:
- Upon misuse of the appliance a temperature sensor
switches the heater automatically, the fan keeps on
working.
- Upon overloading the appliance (restriction of the
air flow) the overheat protection switches off the
machine.
STATIONARY USE (FIG. 2)
Set the tool down on its rear in an upright position.
Make sure the surface is clean and dust free; polluted air
damages the motor.
Make sure the air stream is directed away from you.
Secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool.
Do not touch the nozzle.
WARNING: Be especially careful when work-
ing with the upright unit! There is danger of burning on
the hot nozzle and the hot air stream.
Make sure nothing drops into the nozzle.
Carefully hold the tool with one hand while switching it
off with the other hand, and then allow it to cool down.
Original instructions
OPERATION IN CONFINED AREAS
For operation in confined areas the heat protector (2) can
be removed.
WARNING: Keep your hands away from the
hot nozzle. Beware of the increased risk of burns.
To remove the heat protector (2), switch off the machine
and let it cool down. Turn the heat protector clockwise
viewed from the display to remove it.
WARNING: When operating the machine with
the heat protector removed there exists increased risk
of fire.
MOUNTING / REMOVING ACCESSORIES
Mounting: Place the corresponding nozzle onto the air
outlet.
Removing: Pull out the nozzle after it has completely
cooled down.
WARNING: Replacing the nozzle can be per-
formed only when it is cold, the switch is in position O
and the machine is unplugged.
The hot air gun is delivered with 4 nozzles for different
applications.
Reduction nozzle (8): This nozzle directs a concentrat-
ed heat flow to the workpiece. It is ideal for use when re-
moving paint in awkward corners, crevices, mouldings,
beading, architraves or whenever precise paint removal
is required.
Glass protection nozzle (9): This nozzle deflects the
heat away from glasses or other fragile areas and back
onto the workpiece.
Reflector nozzle (10): This nozzle disperses the heat
flow evenly around the whole workpiece. It is ideal for
defrosting water pipes, soldering pipework, bending
plastics and heat-shrinking electrical parts.
Flat nozzle (11): This nozzle directs a long narrow heat
pattern to the workpiece, and it is ideal for use when re-
moving paint or lacquer from larger flat surfaces such as
skirting boards doors, stairs etc. It should be used in con-
junction with a flat scraper.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Removing paint and lacquer (Fig. 3)
Hold the gun with the nozzle (11) approximately 50 mm
from the surface of the paintwork and start at the lower
heat setting to move it slowly backwards and forwards
until the paint blisters and bubbles. Keep a 30° to 40°
angle between the tool and the workpiece. Immediately
remove the paint with the scraper (12) or putty knife, oth-
erwise the paint will harden again. To avoid ignition clean
immediately the paint and the particles from the tool.
Whenever possible strip the paint along the wood fibres.
Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you
