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

Applications
Here are some of the applications you
can use STEINEL hot air guns for. This
selection is by no means exhaustive –
no doubt you can immediately think of
other examples.
A Stripping paint: Paint is softened
and can be removed with a stripping
knife and paint scraper to leave a clean
surface.
B Shrinking tubing on cables: The
shrink tubing is slipped over the sec-
tion you want to insulate and heated
with hot air. The tubing shrinks by ap-
prox. 50% in diameter to give a sealed
union. Shrinking is particularly fast and
even using reflector nozzles. Sealing
and stabilising cable breaks, insulating
soldered joints, gathering cable runs,
sheathing terminal blocks.
C Forming PVC: Sheeting, piping or
ski boots can be softened and formed
with hot air.
D Lighting the barbecue:
Gets charcoal glowing in next to no
time; no more waiting.
E Thawing: Water pipes, frozen door
locks, steps. Gently thaws and dries all
in one go.

F Soft soldering: First, clean metal
parts you want to join. Then, using hot
air, heat the point you want to solder
and offer up the soldering wire. Use
flux or a soldering wire with a flux core
to prevent oxide forming.
G Welding and joining plastic: All
parts being welded must be of the
same plastic material. Use an appro-
priate welding rod.
H Hot-tool welding on plastic pipes
or rods. The ends are pressed against
a coated hot tool and then joined to-
gether.
