Safety warnings
Residual heat indicator
The residual heat indicator
serves as a visual warning to
prevent injury from direct contact
with the hot nozzle outlet.
The residual heat indicator also
works when the tool is unplugged.
The indicator starts working after
the tool has been in use for
90 seconds and keeps flashing
until the temperature at the nozzle
outlet has fallen below 60 °C at
room temperature. The residual
heat indicator does not show if the
tool has been in operation for less
than 90 seconds.
Responsibility always rests with the
user as care must be taken at all
times when handling hot air tools.
Keep these safety precautions
with the tool.
For your safety
These hot air tools are doubly protected from
overheating:
1. A thermostat switches the heater off if too much of the air
outlet nozzle is obstructed (heat build-up). However, the
blower continues to run. A warning triangle on the display
tells you that the heater is switched off.
Once the air delivery nozzle is clear again, the heater
automatically switches back on again after a few
moments. The warning triangle then goes out. The
thermostat may also respond after switching the hot air
tool off, taking it longer than usual to reach temperature
at the air delivery nozzle when it is switched on again.
2. The thermal cut-out completely shuts down the tool
if it is overloaded.
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 acces-
sories page on the cover) the flow of hot air can be con-
trolled 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.
BHAB 2300E-1
1. Operation
The tool is switched on and off at a two-stage switch
on the back of the grip handle. The joystick
controlling temperature and airflow or fan speed.
2. Setting temperature
Stage 1 is the cooling stage, temperature is always 80 °C.
Use the cooling function for drying paint, cooling workpieces
or for cooling the nozzle before changing the accessory at-
tachment. In stage 2 temperature can be infinitely varied
over a range of 80 °C - 650 °C on the control panel with
¸
LCD display
. The actual temperature is measured at the
nozzle outlet and indicated on the display. The joystick
is used as an input button with plus/minus function. The
temperature setting range begins at 80 °C and ends at a
maximum of 650 °C.
Briefly pressing the "+/–" joystick increases or reduces the
temperature setting in 10° steps. Keeping the joystick
pressed speeds up the temperature setting process. Once
the temperature has been set, the tool takes a few seconds
to reach temperature (depending on speed/airflow). The
temperature setting selected is shown on the display for
3 seconds. The display then shows the current actual
temperature. The "°C/°F" symbol continues to flash until
the selected temperature is reached.
If you want to alter the setting, simply press the joystick
again to increase or reduce the temperature. After switching
off, the hot air tool stays in the last setting.
3. Setting airflow rate
To change the airflow rate, first press the "airflow" button
¾
; the fan symbol flashes. Now use the joystick
the airflow rate. The airflow rate setting mode automatically
closes if the airflow rate setting is not changed within 5 sec.
Pressing the airflow button
rate immediately closes the airflow rate setting mode. The
airflow rate can be varied from a minimum of 150 l/min to a
maximum of 500 l/min.
4. Programming mode [P]
Besides normal operating mode, the BHAB 2300E-1 also
has four factory-set programs for the most frequent jobs.
Four programs are factory-set for the most common types
of work. Press button "P" for programming mode
Number 1 is displayed for program 1. Continuing to press
the program button will take you to programs 2-4. Pressing
the button again will return the tool to normal operation.
