Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
u
This heat gun is not intended for
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.
u
Supervise children during use,
cleaning and maintenance.
This will
ensure that children do not play with
the heat gun.
u
Handle the power tool with care.
The power tool produces intense
heat which increases the risk of fire
and explosion.
u
Take particular care when working in the vicinity of
flammable materials.
The hot airflow or hot nozzle may
ignite dust or gases.
u
Do not work with the power tool in potentially explos-
ive areas.
u
Do not aim the hot airflow at the same area for pro-
longed periods
. Working with plastic, paint, varnish or
similar materials may produce easily flammable gases.
u
Please be aware that heat is directed to covered flam-
mable materials, which may ignite.
u
Safely place the power tool on the storage surfaces
after use and let it cool completely before packing it
away.
The hot nozzle can cause damage.
u
Do not leave the switched-on power tool unattended.
u
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.
u
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet condi-
tions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
u
Do not misuse the cable, for example by using it to
carry, hang up or unplug the power tool.
Keep the cable
away from heat and oil. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
u
Always wear safety goggles.
Safety goggles reduce the
risk of injury.
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before adjusting the
tool settings,
changing accessories, or storing the
power tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
u
Always check the power tool, cable and plug before
use. Stop using the power tool if you discover any
damage. Do not open the power tool yourself, and
have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using
only original replacement parts.
Damaged power tools,
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.
u
Wear protective gloves and do not touch the nozzle
while it is hot.
There is a risk of burns.
u
Do not direct the airflow at persons or animals.
u
Do not use the power tool as a hair dryer.
The outgoing
airflow is considerably hotter than that that of a hair
dryer.
u
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the power tool.
u
The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece
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.
u
If operating the power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
u
Never use the power tool if the cable is damaged. Do
not 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.
