Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained
2000W Hot Air Gun
Hot Air Gun Safety
• Never allow any air vents to become blocked or obscured during use.
Obscured inlet or outlet vents will cause the tool to rapidly overheat
• Parts of this tool will become extremely hot during use. Do not touch any
part of the tool, other than the handle whilst in use
• Always switch off and allow to cool fully before handling or attempting to
change any fittings. Do not leave this tool unattended whilst hot
• Heat may be conducted to hidden areas or materials near to the work
area. Ensure that there are no flammable materials in the vicinity of the
work area
• Never aim the hot air gun towards people or animals
• Do not hold the outlet Nozzle (1) against any material
• Always keep the outlet Nozzle (1) at least 25mm away from the work
surface. Do not allow any object to enter the nozzle when the tool is
connected to the power supply
• Do not allow paint, or any other waste, to accumulate on the outlet nozzle
or scrapers. Residual heat may cause waste material to ignite, even after
the tool has been switched off
• When working on a vertical surface, always aim the heat gun downwards
to prevent debris from falling into the machine
• Use of the hot air gun on certain materials may result in toxic fumes
being emitted. Always allow adequate ventilation. Do not use in confined
spaces
• A good quality breathing mask, or respirator, should always be worn
when using this tool
• If working on pre-1960 paint finishes, there is an increased chance of
encountering lead-based paint. Lead is especially toxic to children,
pregnant women, or people with high blood pressure. If working on pre-
1960 paint finishes such people should not be allowed near to the work
area, even if provided with appropriate breathing protection
• This tool should never be used in conjunction with chemical paint or
varnish strippers. Use of heat guns with chemical strippers can produce
extremely harmful fumes
• Never use this tool near to any kind of fuel tank or gas cylinder
• Always dispose of waste material responsibly
