The nozzle gets extremely hot: wear gloves and eye protection.
For your own safety, please read this manual carefully.
When servicing, always use manufacture's original parts
to replace worn or damaged parts.
Do not direct the hot airflow towards people or animals.
Never use the heat gun near flammable materials or in
the presence of flammable gases.
Never reduce the hot airflow by blocking or covering
the nozzle.
Be careful not to touch the nozzle as it becomes
extremely hot.
Ensure that the nozzle does not come into contact with
materials during or just after operation.
Always wear eye protection when stripping paint
overhead.
When using the heat gun, do not wear loose fitting
clothing or jewellery, wear non-slip footwear and a hair
net to protect and retain hair.
Make sure you are always well balanced when using
the heat gun.

Always keep the heat gun upright or suspend it with
the stand supplied.
Never use the heat gun in a damp or very wet area
(for example: bathrooms, saunas).
Never leave the heat gun out in the rain and do not use
it on very damp days.
Never push anything down inside the hot air nozzle.
Always allow the heat gun to cool down completely

WARNING:
Always concentrate on the job and use common sense
when working with this or any other tools. Do not use
this tool when you are tired or taking medication that
may make you drowsy.
NB: Keep the nozzle at least 10 cm away from the working
surface. Heat guns have a safety cut-off which will stop
the heat gun if you are working too close to the surface
being stripped. If the cut-off operates, the heat gun must
be allowed to cool for about 30 minutes before it can
be used again.
A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care,
therefore
- be careful when using the appliance in places where
there are combustible materials;
- do not apply to the same place for a long time;
- do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
- be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible
materials that are out of sight;
- place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it
to cool down before storage;
- do not leave the appliance unattended when it is
switched on.
Check the area where the heat gun is to be used. Behind
ceilings, floors and false ceilings may contain highly
flammable material. Always check these before using
the heat gun.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered.
Keep the work area well lit.
Keep children and visitors away from the work area, heat
gun and any extension cables.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, please wear proper
shoes to avoid contact with earthed surfaces.
Never carry the heat gun by its power cable or pull on
the cord to disconnect it.
Use only suitable extension cables.
Inspect the heat gun cable regularly and if damaged,
have it repaired by authorized service centre.
When the heat gun is used outdoors, use only extension
cables that are suitable or exterior use.
When working on small or irregular shaped objects, clamp
the object in a vice or clip.
Ensure the tool switch is at OFF position before plugging in.
EHG2002LED Temperature Indicator and Intermittent
Flashing.
The temperature indicator gives the temperature
for reference only. As the heat gun has maximum
temperature protection function, when it reaches the
maximum temperature (about 650
o
C), the 6 LED may
flash intermittently, this is normal and it doesn’t mean
there is a problem.
Disconnect the heat gun when it is not in use. Ensure
that the heat gun can not start accidentally. If the heat
gun stops while it is in use, disconnect it from the power
supply and have it serviced by authorised service centre.
