Safety warnings

Read and observe this information before using the tool. Failure to observe the operating instructions may result in the tool becoming a source of danger. When using electric power tools, observe the following basic safety precautions to avoid electric shock as well as the risk of injury and fire. Used carelessly, the tool can start an unintentional fire or injure persons. Check the tool for any damage (mains connection lead, housing, etc.) before putting it into operation, and do not use the tool if it is damaged. Do not leave the tool switched on unattended. Children should be supervised to make sure they do not play with the tool.

First time of use
A small quantity of smoke may develop when the tool is used for the first time. This smoke is caused by binding agents released from the heater’s insulating film during the first time of use. To let the smoke escape quickly, the tool should be set down on its standing surface. The area you are working in should be well ventilated when using the tool for the first time. Any smoke coming out of the tool is not harmful!

Take the ambient conditions into account.

Do not expose electric power tools to rain. Do not use electrical power tools when they are damp or in a damp or wet environment. Exercise care when using the tool in the proximity of flammable materials. Do not direct the tool at one and the same place for a prolonged period. Do not use it in the presence of an explosive atmosphere. The heat
emitted may be conducted to flammable materials that are hidden from direct sight.

Protect yourself from electric shock.
Avoid coming in contact with grounded objects, such as pipes, radiators, cookers, or refrigerators. Do not leave the tool unattended while in operation.

Store your tools in a safe place.

After use, set the tool down on its standing surface and let it cool before putting it away. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry, locked room out of children’s reach. This tool may be used by children aged 8 or above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been given instructions on how to use the tool safely and understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the tool. Children are not allowed to clean or carry out maintenance work on the tool without supervision.

Do not overload your tools.
Your work results and safety will be enhanced if you operate the tool within the specified output range. Do not carry the tool by the power cord. Do not unplug the tool by pulling on the power cord. Protect the power cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Always ensure that the blowout tube (including in combination with mounted nozzle) is never completely covered or sealed. Damage to the heating element or motor may otherwise result.
Beware of toxic gases and fire hazards.
Toxic gases may occur when working on plastics, paints, varnishes, or similar materials. Beware of fire and ignition hazards. For your own safety, only use accessories and attachments that are specified in the operating instructions or recommended or specified by the tool manufacturer. Using attachments or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions or catalog may result in personal injury.

Repairs must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

This electric power tool complies with the relevant safety regulations. Repairs should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, the user may run the risk of accidents.
Keep these safety precautions with the tool.

For your safety
These hot air tools are doubly protected from overheating:
The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it is overloaded.

Tool description – Operation

Please note 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 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. The tool is switched on and off by means of a two- stage airflow switch 6. In settings 1 and 2, the temperature is continuously variable at a thumbwheel 7 in 9 steps. The guard sleeve can be removed.

Maintenance

Fine dust filter
The HG 2220 E / HG 2420 E is supplied with a fine dust filter 3. To install it, undo the air inlet and insert the filter. To clean it (with compressed air), undo screws (a), take off the cover, and remove the filter.

Repair

Changing the power cord 9
If the power cord needs changing, this can easily be done without opening the casing:

Important! Disconnect tool from the power supply.
Undo screw a and pull off cover cap b.
Release cable grip c.
Undo mains terminals d.
Pull out cable e .
Insert new cable and secure in reverse order (1. Firmly screw down mains terminals etc.).

Soft coating for non-slip standing
Heavy-duty rubber-insulated power cord
Multiple-stage switch for adjusting airflow (2-stage)
