Safety / Operation

Avoid the danger of death by electric shock:

JYou should check the condition of the device, mains lead and mains plug at

regular intervals.

Devices with damaged parts must not be used. The device should never be opened. Damaged devices, mains leads or mains plugs may cause death by electric shock. Repair or replacement work should only be carried out by the service centre or a qualified electrician.

JDo not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged or cut through while you are using the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the device repaired by a suitably qualified person or at your service centre.

J		Do not operate the device if it is damp


		and do not use it in a damp environment.

JIf you use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.

If using an extension lead always use one that is approved for outdoor use.

JAlways work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device.

To avoid the danger of injury, burning and dangers to your health:

JNever use the device as a hairdryer.

JDo not direct the hot air flow at persons or animals.

JDo not look directly into the opening of the hot air nozzle E.

JDanger of burns! Do not touch

the hot nozzle. Wear protective gloves.

J Wear protective glasses.

JIn addition, you should never leave the device working unattended.

JBear in mind the high rate of heat generation.

If the device is not used carefully, it can give rise to increased

risk of fire or explosion.

JDo not work in the vicinity of easily ignitable

gases or materials.

Heating of plastics, paints, varnishes etc. can lead to the creation of gases that are hazardous to health. Make sure you always have adequate ventilation.

JLet the device cool down completely before you put it into storage. Always place your heat gun down on its end, with the nozzle pointing upwards (see Fig. D).

Handling the device correctly:

JIf danger arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket.

JNever use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended.

JWhen taking a break from your work, before carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g. changing the nozzle) or when you are not using the device, always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.

JDo not direct the device at the same spot for too long a period.

JDo not hold the nozzle outlet too close to the workpiece or the surface on which you are working. If the airflow is constricted it can lead to overheating of the device.

JAlways keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease.

JBe aware of areas other than the one you are directly working on. The heat can reach inflammable materials that may be outside your field of view.

JRemain alert at all times! Always watch what you are doing and proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you cannot concentrate or you are feeling unwell.
