long periods without a break.
Maintain your power tool
Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times. Overheating and •
fire may otherwise result.
Always Disconnect
Before changing fittings or accessories, always ensure that your tool is •
disconnected from the power source.
Switch off before connecting
Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power •
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to off.
Do not abuse the power cord
Be sure your cable or extension cable is in good condition. Always have •
a damaged cable or extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using it. Never yank or pull the cable to disconnect it from
the power socket. Never carry your tool by its cable. Keep the cable away
from damp, heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges.
Don’t leave the tool running unattended
Always wait until your tool has completely stopped functioning, and has •
been unplugged, before leaving it.
Hot Air Gun Safety
Never allow any air vents to become blocked, or allow vents to be •
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 against any material. •
Always keep the outlet nozzle 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. •
