●
Change/rotate the nozzle while the unit is
turned on.
●
Leave the heat gun unattended when it is
switched on.
●
Allow children to operate or play with the

●
Carry the heat gun by the mains cable.
●
Allow heat to be directed onto the mains
cable.
●
Use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
●
Restrict air flow from the nozzle outlet or
fan inlets.
●
Allow the heat gun to become damp or be
operated in damp conditions.
●
Use the heat gun close to inflammable
materials because heat may be conducted
to combustible materials which are out of
sight.
●
Apply to the same place for a long time.
●
Under any circumstances aim the heat gun
at another person or animal.
●
Do not use when explosive vapour or dust
is in the air.
Danger of burns - We recommend
wearing a pair of heavy grade, non
PVC type work gloves. Danger of fire
or explosion if the appliance is not
used with care.
●
When changing the nozzle, switch off and
allow the accessory and nozzle to cool.
●
After use stand the heat gun up vertically
(on its rear end) and allow to completely

Before every use check the condition of
the plug and cable. If these are damaged in
any way do not use. Repairs must be
carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
●
Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation as gases and vapours may be
given off when stripping paint. Ensure that
protective goggles and masks are used.
●
Poisonous or inflammable gases may be
produced when working with paints
(especially older type lead paints),
varnishes, plastics and similar materials.
●
Ensure the heat gun switch is in the off
position when connecting to the mains.
●
Ensure children and pets are kept away
from the work area.
●
It is recommended a RCD (residual
current device) rated at 30mA is fitted
into the mains socket-outlet first for added
protection against electric shock.
