4.4 Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow -
er tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate of
which it was designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safe -
ty measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tool out of the reach children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool of these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool re -
paired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with cutting edges are less
likely to stick and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from intended could
lead to a hazardous situation.

Have your power tool serviced by qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HEAT GUNS
•
Do not place your hand over the air vents or block
the vents in any way.
•
The nozzle and accessories of this tool become ex -
tremely hot during use. Let these parts cool down
before touching.
•
Always switch the tool off before putting it down.
•
Do not leave the tool unattended while it is
switched on.
•
A fire may arise if the appliance is not used with
care.
•
Heat may be conducted to combustible materials
that are out of sight. Do not use in a damp atmo-
sphere, where flammable gases may be present or
near combustible materials.
•
Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
•
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes may
be produced.
•
Do not use as a hairdryer.
•
Do not obstruct either the air intake or nozzle
outlet, as this may cause excessive heat build up
resulting in damage to the tool.
•
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
•
Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very
hot during use and remains hot for up to 30 min -
utes after use.
•
Do not place the nozzle against anything while us-
ing or immediately after use.
•
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could
give you an electric shock. Do not look down the
nozzle while the unit is working because of the
high temperature being produced.
•
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
scraper as it could ignite after some time.
6 REMOVING PAINT
•
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing
lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-
1960 building may have been painted in the past
with paint containing lead and covered with addi-
tional layers of paint.
•
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth con-
tact can result in the ingestion of lead.
•
Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause ir -
reversible damage to the brain and nervous sys-
tem. Young and unborn children are particularly
vulnerable.
•
When removing paint, ensue that the work area is
enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
•
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep
the nozzle at leaf 25 mm away from the painted
surface. When working in a vertical direction, work
downwards to prevent paint from falling into the
tool and burning.
•
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that
the work area is thoroughly cleaned after com-
pleting the work.
