Important specifi c
safety advice
To avoid danger to life
from electric shock:
·
Do not operate the device if the mains lead or
the mains plug is damaged.
Caution!
A damaged mains lead presents
a serious danger to life from electric shock.
The service centre for your country is shown in
the guarantee documentation.
·
Have repairs carried out only by an electrician
or the relevant service centre.
·
Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes
damaged or cut through while you are using
the device. Pull the plug out of the mains
socket immediately and have the device re-
paired by a suitably qualifi ed person or at your
service centre.
·
Do not operate the device if it is damp and do
not use it in a damp environment.
·
If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA.
If using an extension lead always use one that
is approved for outdoor use.

Do not use the device in rain or in wet condi-
tions.
·
Do not suspend or carry the device by the

Danger of burns!
Do not touch
the hot nozzle.
Wear protective gloves.

·
In addition, you should never leave the device
working unattended.
·
Bear in mind the high rate of heat generation.
If the device is not used carefully, it can
give rise to increased
risk of fire or explo-
sion
.
·
Do not work in the vicinity of easily ignitable
gases or materials.
Heating of plastics, paints, varnishes etc. can
lead to the creation of gases that are hazard-
ous to health. Make sure you always have
adequate ventilation.

of the mains socket.
·
Do not direct the device at the same spot for
too long a period.
