before the tool is used.
Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Always remove starter keys.
Never use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Always be very careful when removing paint. Flaking paint, residue and fumes may contain lead,
which is poisonous. You can reduce exposure to these chemicals by keeping the work area well
ventilated and using approved safety equipment, such as a breathing mask that filters out
microscopic particles.
Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. The hot air gun gets very hot when in use.
Never use the hot air gun as a hairdryer.
Never point the air flow at people or animals.
Never use it in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.

Check the work area. The ceiling and walls etc. can contain highly flammable material. Always
check what is below the surface before applying heat.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Small and/or irregularly shaped objects must be secured in a vice or clamps when heated.
