MAINS CONNECTION
Your unit has been supplied with a mains lead with a fitted moulded plug. This is
identified by the fuse holder in the base of the plug. Please read the following
safety instructions before use.
If the moulded plug is cut off from the mains lead then the plug must be disposed
of safely.
NEVER
under any circumstances insert such a plug into a 13 amp socket.
NEVER
under any circumstances use the appliance without the fuse cover fitted.
This is the little cover fixed into the base of the plug to hold the fuse in place.
If you lose the fuse cover then please contact any electrical dealer for a
replacement or ring our helpline.
A replacement fuse must be rated at 13amp. The fuse must be manufactured and
approved to BS1362.
IF IN ANY DOUBT PLEASE CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
If you need to fit a plug to the mains lead, this should be fitted in accordance with
the wiring instructions as shown below, and will need to be used with a 13 amp
fuse. If in doubt consult an electrician.
If you are using an extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 10 amps and
fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 10 amps as this will
cause premature failure of the element which is not covered by the guarantee.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
L or coloured red.
Maintenance
The heat gun should be cleaned
before being stored away by wiping
over with a clean damp cloth after
ensuring that the gun has cooled;
do
not
use any chemicals. Ensure
that the ventilation slots are not
blocked.
Trouble Shooting
If a problem occurs always
switch the unit off immediately.
Unit fails to work:
Check the fuse in the plug is sound
and rated 13amps.
If an extension cable is used it must
be fully unwound and rated at least
10amps capacity.
If unit has over heated allow unit to
cool further before operating, this
may take up to 20 minutes. - see
cooling section
