Stationary use (see Fig. 5)
Danger! Intensive heating means a higher
risk of fi re and explosion! Ensure good venti-
lation. Harmful and/or toxic gases and vapors
may be emitted.
6.3 Selecting the right nozzle (Fig. 2a-2c):
•
The wide jet nozzle (8) ensures uniform air
distribution on small surfaces.
•
The reducer nozzle (9) provides a targeted jet
of heat for corners and for soldering work.
•
The reflector nozzle (10) is designed for sol-
dering and shaping tubes, for defrosting water
pipes and for shrinking insulating hoses.
•
Fit the corresponding nozzle attachment onto
the nozzle (3) on the device.
6.4 Ejector (Fig. 6/Item 4)
The cordless hot air gun is equipped with an ejec-
tor (4) for the nozzles. This allows you to remove
nozzles from the equipment while they are still hot
without having to touch them.
Warning!
Set the hot nozzles down on a temperature-resis-
tant surface only!
6.5 Charging the LI battery pack (Fig. 7/8)
1. Remove the battery pack (b) from the handle,
pressing the pushlock buttons (a) downwards
to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(e) into the mains socket outlet. The green
LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-
ger.
In section 10 "Charger indicator" you will fi nd a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator on
the charger.
If the battery pack fails to become charged, ple-
ase check

whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
•
whether there is proper contact at the char-
ging contacts on the charger.
