Please note the reference number shown on type plate of your charger. The trade names of some chargers may vary.
Rechargeable-battery temperature below 0 °C
and over 45 °C
11
The red LED indicator lights up permanently
to signalise that the rechargeable battery is out-
side the fast-charging temperature range of 0 °C
– 45 °C. As soon as the permissible temperature
range is reached, the charger automatically
switches over to fast charge mode. If the re-
chargeable battery is outside the permissible charging tempera-
ture range, the red LED on the rechargeable battery lights up
when inserted into the charger.
Charging not possible
Any other fault affecting the charge cycle is
indicated by the flashing red LED indicator
The charge cycle cannot be started and the
rechargeable battery cannot be charged.
This may be because:
– the battery contacts are soiled.
Action: Clean the contacts (e.g. by fitting and removing the re-
chargeable battery several times) or, if necessary, replace the
rechargeable battery.
– The rechargeable battery is faulty because there is a break
in the wiring inside the rechargeable battery (single cells).
Action: Replace the rechargeable battery.
LED indicators and not lit
11 12
LED indicators 11 and 12 do not light up after plugging into the
power socket. This may be because:
– The charger is not plugged in (properly).
Action: Push the plug into the power socket (all the way).
– Power socket, cord or charger are faulty.
Action: Check the mains voltage and have the charger in-
spected by a customer service centre authorised for STEINEL
power tools.

Note
The charger may heat up when used continuously or for
■
several charge cycles in uninterrupted succession. This is no
cause for concern and does not indicate a technical fault.
A significantly shorter operating time after charging indicates
■
that the rechargeable batteries are worn out and must be
replaced.
Rechargeable battery cooling (Active Air Cooling)
The fan controller integrated in the charger monitors the tempera-
ture of the rechargeable battery inserted in it. If battery tempera-
ture is above 30 °C, it is cooled by a fan to optimum charging
temperature. The fan makes a ventilating noise when switched
on.
11 .
When the fan is not running, the rechargeable battery is either
inside the optimum temperature range or the fan is faulty. In this
case, the rechargeable battery will take longer to charge.
Charging the battery
Only use the charging station shown under 9
charging station designed for the li-ion rechargeable battery used
in your hot air tool.
Note: The rechargeable battery is supplied partially charged. To
ensure full power output, fully charge the rechargeable battery in
the charger prior to first-time use.
The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be recharged at any
time without shortening its lifespan. Interrupting the charge cycle
will not damage the rechargeable battery.
The li-ion rechargeable battery is protected from exhaustive dis-
charge by "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
run down, the hot air tool is shut down by protective circuitry:
Note: After the hot air tool automatically shuts down, do not
press the ON/OFF switch any more. This may damage the
rechargeable battery.

While charging, the three green LEDs on the rechargeable battery
light up in succession and briefly go out. The rechargeable battery
is fully charged when the three green LEDs are permanently lit.
The three green LEDs go out again about 5 minutes after the
rechargeable battery has been fully charged.

Operation

The tool is switched ON and OFF at the two-stage switch on the
front of the grip handle. Please keep the three-stage switch pressed
to activate heat setting 2. As soon as you stop keeping this setting
pressed, the switch changes directly to setting 1. The distance
from the object you are working on depends on material and
intended method of working. Always try out the airflow and tem-
perature on a test piece first. Using the attachable accessory

first time the tool is used. Switch the tool OFF by selecting the
4 "0" switch setting. 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.
