If no LED lights up after pressing button ⓬, the
rechargeable battery is faulty and must be replaced.
Getting started - mobile heat MH 3
The first time the tool is switched on at switch ⓰, the tem-
perature factory setting is 300 °C. This can be seen by the
LED light under the temperature on the temperature selection
display ❺. As soon as the tool is switched on, the heating
element is supplied with energy and the motor starts to run,
initially a low speed. For better handling, the mobile heat MH 3
is provided with a temperature priority function. This ensures
delivery of a constant temperature at all times and controls
blower speed in relation to the temperature delivered. To set
the temperature to 500 °C, move the joystick
The LED on the right-hand side of the temperature selection
display lights up when the temperature reaches 500 °C.

To return to 300 °C, move the joystick to the left.
Getting started - mobile heat MH 5
The temperature of the mobile heat MH 5 can be adjusted
with the cordless hot air tool switched off. To do this, press
any button on the back of the tool below the display. The
temperature can be infinitely varied over a range of 50 °C
- 500 °C on the control panel with LCD display. The actual
temperature is measured at the nozzle outlet and indicated
on the display. The joystick
plus/minus function. The temperature setting range begins at
50 °C and ends at a maximum of 500 °C. Briefly pressing the
"+/–" joystick increases or reduces the temperature setting
in 10 °C steps. Keeping the joystick pressed speeds up the
temperature setting process. Once the temperature has been
set, the tool takes a few seconds to reach temperature (de-
pending on speed/airflow). The temperature setting selected
is shown on the display for 3 s. The display then shows the
current actual temperature. The "°C/°F" symbol continues to
flash until the selected temperature is reached.
If you wish to alter the setting, simply move the joystick again
to increase or reduce the temperature. After switching off, the
hot air tool stays in the last setting.
Setting airflow rate
To change the airflow rate, first press the "airflow" button
the fan symbol flashes. Now use the joystick to set the airflow
rate. The airflow rate setting mode automatically closes if the
airflow rate setting is not changed within 5 seconds. Pressing
the airflow button again after setting the airflow rate imme-
diately closes the airflow rate setting mode. The airflow rate
can be varied from a minimum of 150 l/min to a maximum of
300 l/min.
Depending on battery capacity, the full 300 l/min airflow rate
may no longer be reached. If you select a higher airflow rate
setting in this case, the motor will still not run any faster be-
cause of the battery's low capacity. The bars on the LCD will
flash to indicate the current airflow rate.
In this case, replace the rechargeable battery or charge the
battery currently fitted.
Programming mode [P]
Besides normal operating mode, the mobile heat MH 5 also
has four factory-set programmes for the most frequent jobs.
Press button "P" for programming mode ❽.
Number 1 is displayed for programme 1. Continuing to press
the programme button will take you to programmes 2-4.
Pressing the button again will return the tool to normal opera-
tion. See page 3.

The memory symbol on the LCD flashes to indicate that the
user programme selected has been changed. To record this
setting in the selected user programme, press and hold down
the programme selector button. The memory symbol contin-
ues to flash for approx. 2 seconds. The settings entered have
been saved once the memory symbol stays on all the time. To
return to normal operation, press the programme button until
the number disappears from the top part of the display.
The distance from the object you are working on depends on
the material and intended method of working.
Always try out the airflow and temperature on a test piece
first. Using the attachable accessory nozzles (see acces-
sories) the flow of hot air can be controlled with maximum
precision. A small quantity of smoke may occur the first time
the tool is used.
Switch the tool OFF by releasing the ON / OFF switch ⓰.
Hanger
The integrated ring can be used for hanging the tool.
Caution: max. pulling force = 150 N
LED light
The LED is lit when the tool is switched ON. In addition to il-
luminating the area you are working on, it also serves as "tool
ON" telltale light.

Applications
The hot air tool is ideal for use on smaller-type components
and shrink tubing. In particular, it has come to be appreci-
ated by electronics technicians, model-makers, automotive
workshops and electrical fitters. Here are just some of its
many uses:
Heat-shrinking
- Shrink-fitting connectors for cables and wires.
- Fitting heat-shrinkable products
(e.g. heat-shrinkable tubes)
Soldering / de-soldering
- Soldering SMD components.
- Repairs and corrections to electronic SMD assemblies.
Shaping
- Work on plastic parts, e.g. in model-making.
De-icing
- De-icing locks
