Safety Notes

en
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Do not allow children to use the hot air gun
without supervision. Children can injur
themselves.
Children or persons with mental or physical
limitations may only use the hot air gun
under supervision or after having been
instructed. A thorough introduction reduces
operating errors and injuries.
Be careful when working with the power
tool. The power tool produces intense heat
which can lead to increased danger of fire
and explosion.
Exercise special care when working close to
inflammable materials. The hot air jet or the
hot nozzle can ignite dust or gases.
Do not operate or work with the power tool
in areas where there is danger of explosion.
Never direct the hot air jet at the same po-
sition for longer periods. Easily inflammable
gases can develop e.g., when working plas-
tic, paint, varnish or similar materials.
Be aware that heat can be conducted to hid-
den covered materials and can ignite them.
After using, place the power tool down in a
secure manner and allow it to cool down
completely before packing it away. The hot
nozzle can cause damage.
Do not leave the switched-on power tool
unattended.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. 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.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Always wear safety goggles. Safety goggles
will reduce the risk of injuries.
Disconnect the plug from the socket outlet
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or placing the power tool
aside. This safety measure prevents uninten-
tional starting of the power tool.
Check the power tool, cord and plug each
time before use. Do not use the power tool if
damage is determined. Do not open the pow-
er tool yourself and have it serviced only by
a qualified repair person using only original
spare parts. Damaged power tools, cords and
plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Provide for good ventilation of
your working place. Gas and va-
pour developing during working
are often harmful to one's health.
Wear safety gloves and do not touch the hot
nozzle. Danger of burning.
Never direct the hot air jet against persons
or animals.
Do not use the power tool as a hairdryer.
The hot air being blown out is significantly
hotter than that from a hairdryer.
When operating the power tool in damp
environments is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD). The use of a residual
current device (RCD) reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fit-
ted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug
with internal fuse (ASTA approved to
BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket out-
lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the origi-
nal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should nev-
er be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
