• Take a secure stance; do not overreach, especially on
ladders and stages
• Ensure that the tool is switched off, before putting it
aside
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
AFTER USE:
• Switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• Allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes
before storage
• Suspend the tool on hanging ring N 2 or set it down on
its rear in an upright position; when doing so, make sure
no combustible materials or infl ammable gases are in
the proximity
• Do not store/leave the tool outdoors
• Store the tool in a dry and locked-up place, out of reach
of children
USE
• On/off switch with 2 air fl ow settings 4
! check if switch A 2 is in position "0" before
plugging in
- switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired
position:
1 = air fl ow 250 litres/minute (50°C ... 550°C)
2 = air fl ow 500 litres/minute (50°C ... 650°C)
- when using it for the fi rst time, some smoke may emit
from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease
- switch off the tool by pushing switch A in position "0"
• Temperature setting 5
- set desired target temperature in steps of 10°C by
pressing buttons B briefl y
- pressing buttons B constantly increases/decreases
the target temperature continuously until the buttons
are released or the minimum/maximum temperature
is reached
- after the target temperature is set, display C shows
the actual rising/falling temperature until the desired
temperature is reached
- the target temperature applies for both air fl ow
settings and does not change when switching
between air fl ow 1 and 2
- the target temperature will be stored in the memory
of the tool, so that each time after switching on the
tool heats up to the last selected target temperature
• General use
- determine the right temperature by testing out on an
inconspicuous part of the workpiece; start with a low
temperature setting
- the temperature falls as the distance between the air
outlet/nozzle and the workpiece increases
- the temperature required depends on the material to
be worked on
• Stationary use 6
- press button F for folding out supports E
- set the tool down on its rear in an upright position
- make sure the surface is clean and dustfree; polluted
air damages the motor
- make sure the air fl ow is directed away from you
- secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool
- do not touch the air outlet/nozzle
- make sure nothing drops into the air outlet/nozzle
- carefully hold the tool with one hand while switching
it off with the other hand, and then allow it to cool
down
• Holding and guiding the tool 7
- hold the tool with one hand
- keep ventilation slots G 2 uncovered
• Standard accessories 2
- glass protection nozzle H (for defl ecting air fl ow)
- fl at nozzle J (for broadening air fl ow)
- refl ector nozzle K (for refl ecting air fl ow)
- reduction nozzle L (for concentrating air fl ow)
NOTES:
- all application examples (except removing paint
next to glass) can be performed without
accessories; however, using the appropriate
accessory simplifi es the work and signifi cantly
improves the quality of the results
- this tool can also be used in combination with
BOSCH accessories for heat guns
• Mounting/removing accessories
- simply fi t the accessory onto air outlet D 2
! mount an accessory only when the air outlet is
cold, when the switch is in position "0" and when
the plug is disconnected
- use nozzle release ring M for easy removing hot
nozzles 8
• Constant heat control (overload protection)
Protects heating element from damage when tool is
overloaded without having to stop it and/or let it cool
down for a period of time
- when the temperature gets too high, the heating
element switches itself off, while the motor continues
to run and produces cold air ("HEAT CONTROL"
appears in the display)
- when the temperature has fallen down suffi ciently
(taking only a few seconds), the heating element will
be switched on automatically ("HEAT CONTROL" is
no longer displayed)
• Hanging ring N 9
- for easy storage of the tool
! allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes
before storage
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Removing paint/lacquer 0
- use a clean, sharp scraper
- scrape fi rmly, when the paint softens
- experiment to establish the length of time necessary
to apply the heat for optimal results
- scrape the softened paint immediately, or it will
harden again
- keep a 30° to 40° angle between the tool and the
workpiece
- remove paint and debris immediately from the
scraper to prevent them from ignition
