Safety instructions

Read all the safety information and instruc-
tions. Failure to observe the safety informa-
tion and follow instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
This heat gun is not intended for
u
use by children or persons with
physical, sensory or mental limita-
tions or a lack of experience or
knowledge. This heat gun can be
used by children aged 8 or older
and by persons who have physical,
sensory or mental limitations or a
lack of experience or knowledge if
a person responsible for their
safety supervises them or has in-
structed them in the safe opera-
tion of the heat gun and they un-
derstand the associated dangers.
Otherwise there is a risk of operating
errors and injury.
Supervise children during use,
u
cleaning and maintenance. This will
ensure that children do not play with
the heat gun.
Handle the heat gun with care. The
u
heat gun produces intense heat
which increases the risk of fire and
explosion.
Take particular care when working in the vicinity of
u
flammable materials. The hot airflow or hot nozzle may
ignite dust or gases.
Do not work with the heat gun in potentially explosive
u
areas.
Do not aim the hot airflow at the same area for pro-
u
longed periods. Working with plastic, paint, varnish or
similar materials may produce easily flammable gases.

Please be aware that heat is directed to covered flam-
u
mable materials, which may ignite.
Safely place the heat gun on the storage surfaces
u
after use and let it cool completely before packing it
away. The hot nozzle can cause damage.
Do not let children use the heat gun unsupervised
u
when it is switched on.
Store idle heat guns out of the reach of children. Do
u
not allow persons unfamiliar with the heat gun or
these instructions to operate the tool. Heat guns can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Do not expose the heat gun to rain or wet conditions.
u
Water entering a heat gun increases the risk of electric
shock.
Do not misuse the cable, for example by using it to
u
carry, hang up or unplug the heat gun. Keep the cable
away from heat and oil. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Always wear safety goggles. Safety goggles reduce the
u
risk of injury.
Pull the plug out of the socket before adjusting the
u
tool settings, changing accessories, or storing the
heat gun. This safety measure prevents the heat gun
from being started accidentally.
Always check the heat gun, cable and plug before use.
u
Stop using the heat gun if you discover any damage.
Do not open the heat gun yourself, and have it re-
paired only by a qualified specialist using only original
replacement parts. Damaged heat guns, cables and
plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep your work area well-ventilated. The
gas and steam produced during work are often
harmful to one's health.
Wear protective gloves and do not touch the nozzle
u
while it is hot. There is a risk of burns.
Do not direct the airflow at persons or animals.
u
Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer. The outgoing
u
airflow is considerably hotter than that of a hair dryer.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the heat gun.
u
The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece
u
depends on the material you are working on (metal,
plastic, etc.) and the intended working method. Al-
ways test the amount of air and temperature first.
If operating the heat gun in a damp environment is un-
u
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Never use the heat gun if the cable is damaged. Do not
u
touch the damaged cable and pull out the mains plug if
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
