spot, the surface that you are treating could
go on fire; always remove the paint that
accumulates on the scraper.
14) Always keep a safe distance and good ba-
lance when working with the tool.
15) Only and always use the switch to stop the
tool.
16) Turn off the switch and always unplug the
tool when: -you are not using it, -you leave
it unattended, -you check why it is not wor-
king, -you clean it.
17) When not in use, store the machine in a dry
place out of the reach of children.
18) Do not attempt to repair the tool. Should there
be any breakages or excessive wear, have
it checked by qualified staff in authorised
service centres and only use original spare
parts.
19) Only use the tool as instructed in this manual.
20) This tool must not be used by children or
anyone with reduced physical, sensorial
or mental skills, or without experience or
knowledge.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY STANDARDS
1) Take care when using the tool in places
where there are combustible materials.
2) Do not use the tool in an explosive atmo-
sphere.
3) Incorrect use of the heat gun can cause fires.
Do not apply the gun for a long time on the
same spot so as not to cause overheating.
4) Caution! Heat can be transmitted to com-
bustible materials that are not visible to the
operator during use.
5) Always leave the gun to cool down on a non-
flammable surface before putting it away.
6) Never leave the gun unattended.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) The power supply voltage must correspond
to that indicated on the technical data plate.
Do not use any other type of power supply.
2) It is advisable to install a trip switch on the
electrical power supply line. Consult your
electrician.
3) Do not use the tool in damp or wet areas or
in the rain.
4) The power supply cable must be checked on
a regular basis and before each use of the
machine to check if it is damaged or worn.
If it is seen to be in poor conditions, do not
use the machine but have the cable repaired
by an authorised service centre.
5) If you are using an extension cable, keep it
away from the work area, from damp, wet,
greasy and sharp surfaces and also from
sources of heat and combustibles.
6) If you are using a cable-reel for the extension
cable, run the whole cable out completely
otherwise it could heat up and catch fire.
7) Any extension cable used must have a section
of at least 2x1.5 mm
2
.
8) Do not use the power supply cable to lift or
pull the tool or to disconnect the plug.
STARTING AND USE
Switch:
- pos. 0=off
- pos. 1=switched on at minimum temperature
- pos. 2=switched on at maximum temperature
1) Plug in the gun.
2) Put the switch in pos. 1 (minimum temperatu-
re) and leave it to work for about one minute.
3) Position the nozzle about 2 cm from the
surface to be treated and, if necessary, put
the switch into position 2 (maximum tempe-
rature).
4) Remove the heated paint with the help of a
scraper.
5) Clean the scraper regularly to prevent accu-
mulated paint from catching fire.
The heat gun should be kept at an angle (~45°)
to the work surface to avoid the reuptake of
expelled hot air. The intake of hot air could
damage the gun.
The distance between the gun nozzle and the
object being treated must never be less than
5cm.
Before turning off the heat gun, let it run for at
least 10 seconds with switch (Fig.A pos.2) in
position “1” and with the air flow at maximum
speed to cool down the internal components.
This precaution will extend the gun’s life.
To cool down the heat gun or to free your han-
ds, place the gun in a vertical position on a flat
surface (Fig.A pos.6).
