Tool description - Operation
Please note: The distance from the object
you are working on depends on material and
intended method of working. Always try out
the airflow and temperature on a test piece
first. Using the attachable accessory nozzles
(see accessories page on the cover) the flow
of hot air can be controlled with maximum
precision.
Take care when changing hot nozzles!
When using the hot air tool in the self-resting
position, make sure it is standing on a stable,
non-slip and clean surface.
Connect the mains plug to a normal 230 V
earthed power socket and turn the tool on at
the regulating switch.
