of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns. (This advice is considered correct for conventional
NiMh, NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion cell types. If this advice is incorrect
for a cell design that differs from these, then the correct advice may be
substituted.)
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F may
cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C is equivalent to the temperature of
265°F.

water, but do not rub. Seek medical attention. Failure to take the appropriate
action can result in loss of sight.
Contact with skin
Immediately wash the areas affected with copious quantities of clean water,
such as tap water, or skin irritation may occur. If the chemical penetrates
clothing, take off clothing immediately and wash the skin with water. If
irritation persists after washing it off, seek medical attention.
Inhalation
If the rechargeable battery is damaged or used improperly, vapours or
electrolyte fluid may escape. Provide fresh air and seek medical attention if
you feel unwell or discomfort occurs. The vapours may cause respiratory
irritation.
The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be recharged at any time without
shortening its lifespan. Interrupting the charge cycle will not damage the
rechargeable battery. If the tool is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, remove the rechargeable battery from the tool. This will prolong the
life of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
When not in use, keep the rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could short-circuit the

Getting started – mobile heat MH 3
The first time the tool is switched on at switch 16, the temperature
factory setting is 570°F. This can be seen by the LED light under the
temperature on the temperature selection display 5. 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 930°F, move the joystick
8 to the right. The LED on the right-hand side of the temperature
selection display 5 lights up when the temperature reaches 930°F. To
return to 570°F, 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
120°F – 930°F on the control panel with LCD display. The actual temperature
is measured at the nozzle outlet and indicated on the display. The joystick 8
is used as an input button with plus/minus function. The temperature setting
range begins at 120°F and ends at a maximum of 930°F. Briefly pressing the
“+/–” joystick increases or reduces the temperature setting in 50°F 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 (depending 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 immediately 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 because 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 8. 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
operation. See page 3.
Preset programmes
Programme | Temp. °F | Airflow rate | Application |
---|---|---|---|

P2 | 572 | approx. 9 cfm | Welding plastics |
P3 | 932 | approx. 9 cfm | Joining sheeting |
P4 | 482 | approx. 11 cfm | Car-wrapping |
Memory function [S]
The values selected for the four programmes can be changed and memorized at
any time. To do this, first press the programme button “P” 7 until the display
shows the programme you wish to change. Set the chosen airflow and
temperature. 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 continues 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 accessories) 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.

well as your original dated sales receipt phone number and return address.
When received, STEINEL will diagnose the problem and determine if it is
covered under warranty. If we determine that it is covered by warranty, we
will repair or replace the defective tool, at our option, and return it to the
customer (postage paid by STEINEL). If we determine that the tool is not
defective and/or that it is not covered by warranty, we will contact the
customer to discuss options prior to performing any repair work not covered
under warranty.
All non-warranty repair work is billed at standard rates and will be quoted
prior to repair.
Consequential Damages
The company shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages
arising from the use of the Product by the Purchaser, the breach of any
warranties, the failure to deliver, delay in delivery, delivery in non-
conforming condition, or for any other breach of contract or duty between the
Company and the Purchaser. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
Disclaimers of warranties
The warranties contained herein are expressly in lieu of any other expressed or implied warranties, or any other obligation on the part of the Company. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall expire one (1) year after the date the product is purchased by the original end-user Purchaser. Any models, drawings, plans, specifications, affirmations of fact, promises, or other communications by the Company with reference to the performance of the product are solely for the convenience of the Purchaser and shall not in any way modify the expressed warranties and disclaimers set forth herein. The Purchaser acknowledges it is purchasing the Product solely on the basis of the commitments of the Company as expressly set forth herein. No agents or other parties are authorized to make any warranties on behalf of the Company or to assume for the Company any other liability in connection with the Product. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Limitation of actions
Any action resulting from the breach of any warranty contained herein by the
Company must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action
arises. In no event shall the Company’s total liability for any or all
breaches of any warranty exceed the actual purchase price of the Product.
Other rights
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
