• Neither the air inlet opening nor the outlet nozzle opening of the
tanner may be obstructed.
• Do not touch the tanning nozzle, while it is in use or just after the
tanner has stopped working.
• The handle of the tanner must be kept clean, no traces of oil or
grease may be allowed on it.
• When working outdoors, do not use the tanner when it is raining or
when the air is very damp.
• Do not set the tanner aside while it is switched on.
• Do not direct the air flow from the tanner for too long at one place.
• From time to time, any accumulated paint residue should be
removed from the nozzle of the heat gun to prevent spontaneous
combustion.
• Before using the heat gun, always make sure that the surface to be
heated is not flammable.
• When removing oil-based paints containing lead, work must only be
carried out in well-ventilated areas. The vapours from such paints
are toxic. Wear a respirator.
• Turpentine, solvents or petrol must not be used as aids when using
the heat gun.
• Do not touch heated up components of the hot air tool immediately
after use. Burns caused by non-compliance with these instructions
are the main danger associated with working with a blowtorch.
• Do not point the working tanner towards any person or animal (e.g.
to dry hair). The air temperature of a blowtorch is considerably
higher than that of a hair dryer.
Despite the inherently safe design, the use of protective equipment
and additional protective measures, there is always a residual risk of
injury during work.
ATTENTION! The device is designed for indoor operation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PICTOGRAMS USED
1. Read the operating instructions and observe the warnings and safety
conditions contained therein!
2. Caution! Hot surfaces!
3. Second class of protection
4. The product meets the requirements of the EU directive
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
The torch is used for removing paint coatings, heating up stubborn
threaded connections in order to make them easier to unscrew and for
heating up frozen water pipes, locks, padlocks, etc. The torch can also be
used for drying wooden parts before mechanical working, shrinking heat
shrink sleeves, soldering and other works requiring heating by a stream of
dry, hot air. The torch is designed for amateur use only.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
Before starting work, make sure the conditions are right.
Position
Make sure that there are no objects in the vicinity that restrict free
movement and prevent comfortable and safe working.
Power source
Ensure that the power source to which the tanner is to be connected
conforms with the specifications on the tanner's rating plate.
Switch
Make sure that the switch is in the off position. If you insert the plug into
the power socket when the switch is in the on position, a serious accident
may occur as the tanner starts working immediately.
Functional check
When the device is started up, it should work evenly without jams. If any
abnormalities are found, work on the appliance must be discontinued.
Nozzle selection
Depending on the type of work to be carried out, (if necessary) a suitable
additional nozzle can be fitted by sliding it onto the outlet nozzle. Each
additional nozzle can be positioned at any angle from 0° to 360° in the axis
of the torch. The use of additional nozzles facilitates the work, ensuring its
accuracy.
• Surface nozzle - protects e.g. window panes from overheating by
redirecting the hot air flow. Particularly useful for removing paint
coatings.
• Diffusing nozzle - ensures even distribution of hot air for small areas.
• Reduction nozzle - provides a targeted hot air stream for processing
in corners and for soldering.
• Reflector nozzle - designed for soldering, shaping plastic pipes,
defrosting water installations and shrinking heat shrink sleeves.
Caution: Do not cover the air inlet openings as this may cause the power
tool to overheat.
Note: Additional accessories are not included.
Switching on/off
Note: the mains voltage must correspond to the voltage specified on the
tanner's rating plate. Ensure that the power button is in the 0 position
before connecting to the power supply.
The unit connected to the power supply is switched on by moving the
switch button to a position other than 0.
• Position 0 - switched off
• Position I - temperature 350°C, flow 300 l/min
• Position II - temperature 550°C, flow 500 l/min
The first time you switch on the tanner, a small amount of smoke may
be present. This is normal and should disappear after a short time.
Working with the tool
Select the appropriate operating mode depending on the activity.
When changing from position II to position I, wait a while for the unit to cool
down.
The distance of the nozzle from the workpiece must be adjusted according
to the type of workpiece and the type of additional nozzle used. The most
suitable temperature should be determined by testing, so start working in
the low temperature range.
Plastic pipe shaping / de-icing
• Place the reflector nozzle on the outlet nozzle. To avoid constriction,
fill the pipe with sand and close it on both sides.
• Heat the pipe evenly by moving it in relation to the heat gun.
• Always heat frozen areas of water pipes from the edge to the centre.
Heat plastic pipes and joints between pipe pieces particularly
carefully to avoid damage.
Caution! Under no circumstances must the gas pipes be heated!
Paint stripping
• Switch on the tanner and set the correct working temperature.
• Direct a jet of hot air onto the surface to be coated with paint. After
a short time the paint will start to blister. Do not allow the paint to
burn, as this will make it difficult to remove.
• When removing paint with a paint scraper or spatula, use a gradual
up-and-down motion. If the spatula encounters an area where the
paint cannot be removed, carefully move the heat gun closer to
facilitate further paint removal. Clean the spatula blade from time to
time.
• Remove the paint before it has hardened, otherwise it will cling to
the spatula blade.
• When work is complete, any remaining paint should be quickly
removed from the spatula with a wire brush before it coagulates.
Caution: Do not use plastic spatulas to remove heated paint with a paint
stripper.
Shortly after use, the torch nozzle is hot. Avoid direct contact and wear
suitable protective gloves or wait for it to cool down.
