USE

• 

On/off switch with 3 temperature settings 

④

!

check if switch A is in position "0" before 

plugging in

-

switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired 

position:

   I = 70°C, air flow 550 litres/minute

   II = 450°C, air flow 350 litres/minute

   III = 600°C, air flow 550 litres/minute

-

when using it for the first time, some smoke may emit 

from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease

-

switch off the tool by pushing switch A in position "0"

• 

General use

-

determine the right temperature by testing out on an 

inconspicuous part of the workpiece; start with a low 

temperature setting

-

the temperature drops as the distance between the air 

outlet/nozzle and the workpiece increases

-

the temperature required depends on the material to 

be worked on

• 

Stationary use 

⑤

-

set the tool down on its rear in an upright position

-

make sure the surface is clean and dustfree; polluted 

air damages the motor

-

make sure the air flow is directed away from you

-

secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool

-

do not touch the air outlet/nozzle

-

make sure nothing drops into the air outlet/nozzle

-

carefully hold the tool with one hand while switching it 

off with the other hand, and then allow it to cool down

• 

Use at hard-to-reach places

-

remove ring B 

②

, thus releasing the metal air outlet 

over a greater distance

!

pay attention to increased risk of fire and burns

• 

Holding and guiding the tool 

⑥

-

hold the tool with one hand

-

while working, keep the nozzle at a minimum distance 

of 7 cm from the workpiece; accumulated air damages 

the tool

-

keep ventilation slots C 

②

 uncovered

• 

SKIL accessories (

not standard included

) 

⑦

-

glass protection nozzle D (for deflecting air flow)

-

flat nozzle E (for broadening air flow)

-

reflector nozzle F (for reflecting air flow)

-

reduction nozzle G (for concentrating air flow)

NOTES:

-

all application examples (

except removing paint 

next to glass

) can be performed without accessories; 

however, using the appropriate accessory simplifies 

the work and significantly improves the quality of the 

results

-

this tool can also be used in combination with 

BOSCH- and other commonly available accessories 

for heat guns

• 

Mounting/removing accessories (

not standard 

included

)

-

simply fit the accessory onto air outlet H 

②

-

remove an accessory by pulling it off to the front after it 

has cooled down

!

mount an accessory only when the air outlet is 

cold, when the switch is in position "0" and when 

the plug is disconnected

• 

Hanging ring J 

⑧

-

for easy storage of the tool

!

allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes 

before storage

• 

Constant heat control (overload protection)

Protects heating element from damage when tool is 

overloaded without having to stop it and/or let it cool 

down for a period of time

-

when the temperature gets too high, the heating 

element switches itself off, while the motor continues 

to run and produces cold air

-

when the temperature has dropped sufficiently (taking 

only a few seconds), the heating element will be 

switched on automatically

!

when the tool is switched off after working at a 

high temperature setting, and switched on again 

after a short break, it may take a while before the 

heating element reaches the desired temperature

APPLICATION ADVICE

• 

Removing paint/lacquer 

⑨

-

use a clean, sharp scraper

-

scrape firmly, when the paint softens

-

experiment to establish the length of time necessary to 

apply the heat for optimal results

-

scrape the softened paint immediately, or it will harden 

again

-

keep a 30° to 40° angle between the tool and the 

workpiece

-

remove paint and debris immediately from the scraper 

to prevent them from ignition

-

scrape with the grain of the wood, wherever possible

-

do not direct the hot air flow towards the same surface 

for too long

-

dispose of all paint debris safely

-

thoroughly clean the work area after completing the 

job

!

be careful when removing layers of paint in old 

buildings; in the past the building may have 

been painted with paint containing lead, which is 

highly poisonous

!

exposure to even low levels of lead can cause 

serious brain and nervous system damage; young 

and unborn children are particularly vulnerable

!

have lead-based paint removed by a professional 

without using a heatgun

OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE:

         removing (synthetic) wall covering

• 

Removing paint/lacquer next to glass 

⑩

-

always

 use glass protection nozzle D when working 

next to glass

-

remove the paint with a hand scraper

!

do not use the tool for removing paint on metal-

framed windows; metal is heat-conducting which 

might lead to breaking of the glass

• 

Removing stickers (use flat nozzle E)

⑪

-

many adhesives become softer when heated, allowing 

adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous 

adhesive to be removed

!

heat sticker on the upper side

!

always take care not to overheat the underlying 

surface
