ON/OFF switch (Cool air stage) 8.8 CFM .120.F. For cooling down a hot workpiece or for drying paint. (Hot air stage) 17.8 CFM .1100.F. Temperature control (thermo-electronic): The temperature can be controlled steplessly with the setting dial 5 and switch 6 in setting II. If the nozzle is hot or if you wish to have both hands free when working, you can set the tool down in an upright position on its base. Temperature displays: The temperature is displayed via LED 4. By carefully controlling the air flow and temperature, very precise work can be performed on temperature sensitive electrical fittings, packaging, and other materials. "SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS" I II Double Insulated Tools • Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities. IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. WHEN SERVICE IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not change the plug in any way.

You should therefore start with a low temperature setting. The temperatures specified in the illustrated examples of use are recommended values which can vary depending on the properties of the workpiece. The distance between the nozzle and workpiece is dependent on the material to be processed. Additional information can be found in popular DIY books or consult the manufacturer of the heat activated product. NOTE: The 1100.F(595.C) setting can not be reached on full air flow setting. If 1100.F(595.C) is required, reduce setting on blower speed dial 3 until 1100.F(595.C) is indicated on LED temperature display 4. Bosch stocks a range of accessories (see catalog) which offer a wide range of other applications. The sections indicated by capital letters in the instructions for use below refer to the illustrated examples of use in this manual. A Removing paint/dissolving adhesives Fit the flat nozzle. Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly using a scraper. Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint, making it more difficult to remove. To carry out work in confined spaces, remove the heat shield. Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer when heated, allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and adhesive to be removed. B Removing paint or caulking from windows Glass can break easily. Always use the glass deflector nozzle. On profiled surfaces, paint can be removed using a scraper and brushed off using a soft wire brush. C Shrink fitting electrical connections Fit the reflector or reducing nozzle. Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that of the workpiece, e.g. cable lug. Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly. D Defrosting water pipes Fit the reflector nozzle. Always heat the frozen area inwards from the edge to the center. CAUTION! Do not attempt to defrost PVC piping. Note: Water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes. Copper pipes are joined using tin and should therefore not be heated above 392.F (200.C). 7 BM 2610910610 9/01 7 10/4/01, 10:12 AM Maintenance and Service WARNING! Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed at a Bosch Factory Service Center. Tool Lubrication Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use. We recommend, that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant every time the brushes are changed. Carbon Brushes The brushes and commutator in your Bosch tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend that every two to six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used. Bearings After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings should be replaced at a Bosch Factory Service Center. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting)...
