ENGLISH
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Additional Safety Instructions for Heat Guns
• Always switch off before putting tool down.
• Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint,
the peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain
lead, which is poisonous. Once deposited on surfaces,
hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can caused
irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young
and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Do not
smoke, eat or drink in a work area that could or may be
contaminated by lead. Lead based paints should only
be removed by a professional and should not be
removed using a heat gun.
• When removing paints you should ensure that your
work area is enclosed. It is advisable to wear a dust
mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Keep the nozzle at least 25mm
(1”) from the surface as this keeps the temperature
below the required 450°C. If you are scraping from a
vertical position then you should scrape downwards to
prevent the paint from falling back into the heat gun and
burning. Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure
that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing
the job.
• Do not use in a damp atmosphere or where
flammable gases may be present or use near
combustible materials. Spaces behind boards, ceilings
and floors and wall cavities in timber frame constructed
houses can contain flammable materials. Check before
using the heat gun.
• Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when using heat guns as
toxic fumes may be produced.
• Do not use as a hairdryer! The air temperature is far
higher than a hairdryer.
• Do not obstruct either the air intake or nozzle outlet as
this may cause excessive heat build up resulting in
damage to the tool.
• Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
• Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very hot
during use and remains hot for up to 30 minutes after
use. Do not look down the nozzle while the unit is working
because of the high temperatures being produced.
• Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as
it could ignite after a time.
• Do not operate your heat gun whilst it is hanging by the
hanging hook.
• A fire may arise if the appliance is not used with care.
• Do not place the nozzle against anything while using
or immediately after use.
• Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could
give you an electric shock.
• Do not apply to the same place for a long time;
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is
switched on.
• Place the appliance on its stand after use
