Double Insulated Tools
Tools marked with the words "Double Insulated" are equipped with a two prong plug. These tools have a
special insulation system that complies with applicable UL standards
. They do not require grounding.
"Double Insulated" tools, like this one, have two prong cords and can use either a two or three prong
extension cord.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to 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. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The use of extension cords of
inadequate size wire causes a serious drop in voltage and loss
of power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep cords away from
excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or wet areas. Repair or
replace damaged extension cords before using.

Tool description - Operation
Please note: The distance from the object you are working on depends on 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.
For Your Safety
(HG 2320 E / HL 2020 E / HL 1920 E / HL 1820 S / HL 1620 S)
First time use, a small quantity of smoke may occur 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!
Residual heat indicator (HL 2320 E / HG 2020 E)
The residual heat indicator serves as a visual warning to prevent injury from direct contact with the hot
nozzle outlet by flashing until the temperature at the nozzle outlet has fallen below 140 degrees F at room
temperature. It begins working after the tool has been in use for 90 seconds and also works when the
tool is unplugged. No indication will be shown if the tool has been in operation for less than 90 seconds.
Responsibility always rests with the user and care must be taken at all times when handling hot air tools.
These hot air tools are protected from overheating:
The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it is overloaded.
