HL 1910 E
The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switch (6) on the back of the grip handle. In addition to three-stage speed/air-
flow control (stage 1 is a cold-air stage at 50 °C ), temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of 50 °C – 600 °C
at the thumbwheel (7). The numbers (1 to 9) on the thumbwheel serve as a guide only. Whereas "1" means 50 °C, the maxi-
mum temperature of 600 °C is attained at "9". Air flow can be adjusted to the three stages of 150/300/500 l/min. The guard
sleeve (3) detaches at a bayonet catch.
HL 2010 E
The tool is switched on and off at the three-stage switch (6) on the back of the grip handle. In addition to three-stage
speed/air flow control, temperature can be continuously adjusted over a range of 50 °C to 630 °C by the pushbuttons (8).
The target temperature can be increased in 10 °C steps by pressing the "+" side of the temperature pushbutton (8) or
reduced by pressing the "-" side of the temperature pushbutton (8). Pressing the button briefly increases or reduces the
target temperature by one 10 °C step. Keeping the button pressed will continue to increase or reduce the temperature in
steps of 10 °C until the button is released or the minimum or maximum temperature is set.
Blower stage 1 delivers a temperature of 50 °C. The tool will take a short while to cool to 50 °C after switching down to blower
stage 1 when it has been operating at high temperatures on blower stage 2 or 3. While the tool is cooling down, the LCD
display (9) shows the actual temperature at the nozzle outlet. After switching off, the tool stays in the last setting. The guard
sleeve (3) detaches at a bayonet catch.

For your safety

These hot air guns are doubly protected from overheating:
1. A thermal circuit breaker switches the heating element off when the discharge of air from the outlet nozzle is blocked (heat
accumulation). The fan continues to run however. Once the outlet nozzle is free again, the heating element switches on
again automatically after a short period. The thermal circuit breaker may also respond after the device has been switched
off. It may therefore take longer than usual until the temperature at the outlet nozzle is reached after switching on again. *
2. The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool if it is overloaded.
*does not apply to HL 1910
