qualified person; never attempt to open the tool yourself.
▪ The distance between the nozzle and the processed
material will vary depending on the kind of material
but regardless of the regulator position keep the air
outlet at least at 50 mm away from the processed
surface.
▪ All application examples (except removing paint from
windows) can be performed without accessories;
however, using the appropriate accessory facilitates
operation and significantly improves the quality of the
results.
SWITCHING ON - SWITCHING OFF
The hot air gun can be switched on and off by means of
the 3-stage ON/OFF switch (6) at the rear of the handle.
Switching on: Set the switch (6) to position I. Some
smoke may be emitted after switching on; this does not
indicate a problem.
Switching off: Set the switch (6) to position O. Let the
machine cool down with the nozzle up before leaving it
down or storing it.
The air flow can be adjusted by setting the switch lever
(6) to position I, II or III.
Set the switch (6) to position I in order to protect the
surrounding surfaces from overheating or in case the
workpiece is lightweight and there is danger of being
swept away by the air flow.

HEAT SETTINGS

Prior operation we recommend testing the appropriate
temperature on a scrap piece of material.
778-1879 • 778-1866
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.
778-1860 (Fig. 1)
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 temperature
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 decreasing
or the right "+" button for increasing the temperature.
Brief pressing a button changes the temperature
by 10°C. Prolonged pressing a button changes the
temperature 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.
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):
concentrated heat flow to the workpiece. It is ideal for
use when removing 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
This nozzle directs a
