SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUNS
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b)
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.
c)
Disconnec t the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
c hanging accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and 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.
BEFORE USE:
• Check the functioning of the tool before
each use and, in case of a defect, have it
repaired immediately by a qualified
person; never open the tool yourself.
• Inspect tool cord and plug before each
use and, if damaged, have them replaced
by a qualified person.
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension
cords with a capacity of 16 Amps.
• Inspect the extension cord periodically
and replace it, if damaged.
• Use the tool and its accessories in
accordance with this instruction manual
and in the manner intended for the tool;
use of the tool for operations, different
from those normally expected to be
performed by the tool, could result in a
hazardous situation.
• This tool should not be used by people
under the age of 16 years.
• This tool is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the tool
by a person responsible for their safety.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g)

tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
