General safety advice
d)
Look after the device carefully. Check that
moving parts are working properly and
move freely. Check for any parts that are
broken or damaged enough to detrimen-
tally affect the functioning of the device.
Have damaged parts repaired before
you use the device. Many accidents have their
origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
e)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Care-
fully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
f) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this
particular type of device. In doing this,
take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand. The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

DANGER OF BURNS! Do not
touch the hot nozzle. Wear protec-
tive gloves.
J
Wear protective glasses.
J
DANGER OF FIRE AND EXPLO-
SION! The appliance develops very
high temperatures.
If the device is not used carefully,
it can give rise to increased risk of
fire or explosion.
J Do not work in the vicinity of easily ignitable
gases or materials.
Heating of plastics, paints, varnishes etc. can
lead to the creation of gases that are hazard-
ous to health. Make sure you always have
adequate ventilation.
J Let the device cool down completely before
you put it into storage. Always place your
heat gun down on its end, with the nozzle
pointing upwards.
J In addition, you should never leave the device
working unattended.
J When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the nozzle) or when you are not us-
ing the device, always pull the mains plug out
of the mains socket.
J Do not direct the device at the same spot for
too long a period.
J Maintain a distance between the jet outlet
nozzle and the workpiece or the surface being
heated. An air blockage could lead to over-
heating of the appliance.
J Pay heed to the direct working area and also
to its surroundings. The heat produced could
reach to inflammable articles located out of the
visible area.
J Always keep the device clean, dry and free
of oil or grease.
J Never use the device for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
J Children or persons who lack the knowledge
or experience to use the device or whose
physical, sensory or intellectual capacities are
limited must never be allowed to use the device
without supervision or instruction by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must never
be allowed to play with the device.
General safety advice
b)
Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators
with any part of your body. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water entering
an electrical device increases the risk
of electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electri-
cal power tool always use extension ca-
bles that are also approved for use out-
doors. The use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD)
for protection if operating the electri-
cal power tool in a moist environ-
ment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a)
Remain alert at all times, watch what you
are doing and always proceed with cau-
tion. Do not use the device if you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
One moment of carelessness
when using the device can lead to serious injury.
b)
Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protective equipment such
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the
type of electrical power tool used and work
undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.
c)
Avoid unintentional operation of the de-
vice. Make sure that the switch is in the
“OFF” position before you insert the
mains plug into the mains socket. Acci-
dents can happen if you carry the device with your
finger on the switch or you have already switched
the device on before you connect it to the mains.
d) Remove any setting tools or spanners
before you switch the device on. A
tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part
of a device can lead to injury.
e) Do not overestimate your own abili-
ties. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. By doing this you will be in a
better position to control the device, especially
in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to
check that they are properly connect-
ed and correctly used. The use of these
devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always use
an electrical power tool that is intended
for the task you are undertaking. By us-
ing the right electrical power tool for the job you
will work more safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective. An electrical pow-
er tool that can no longer be switched on and
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice. Electrical power tools are danger-
ous when they are used by inexperienced people.
