WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instruction
for future reference.
HEAT GUN SAFETY WARNINGS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
A re may result if the product is not used with care, therefore:
• be careful when using the product 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 product upright and allow it to cool down before storage;
• do not leave the product unattended when it is switched on.
The heat gun may start a re if appropriate precautions are not
taken.
Keep the heat gun away from rain or water to avoid risks of re or
electric shock.
The nozzle gets extremely hot. Wear gloves and eye protection.
Be careful not to touch the nozzle as it becomes extremely hot.
Do not direct the hot airow towards people or animals.
Never reduce the hot airow by blocking or covering the nozzle.
Ensure that the nozzle does not come into contact with materials
during or after operation.
Always wear eye protection when stripping paint overhead.
When using the heat gun, do not wear loose 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.
Ensure that the heat gun is always clean, dry and free from oil or
grease.
Never use the heat gun in a damp or very wet area (for example:
bathrooms, saunas).
Always store the heat gun in a safe place, out of the reach of
children. It is not a toy.
Do not use the product as a hair dryer.
Check the area where the heat gun is to be used. Behind ceilings,
oors and false ceilings may contain highly ammable material.
Always check these before using the heat gun.
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 installing the battery
pack.
Remove the battery pack from the heat gun when it is not in use.
Ensure that the heat gun cannot start accidentally. If the heat gun
stops while it is in use, disconnect it from the power source and
have it serviced by an authorised service centre.
Always concentrate on the job and use common sense when
working with the product. Do not use the product when you are tired
or taking medication that may make you drowsy.
Never use the heat gun in combination with solvents.
After use, remove any paint or varnish residue on the nozzle and
scrapers. This could catch re.
Always work in a well ventilated area. Flakes and residues of lead-
based paints are highly toxic.
Do not expose battery products to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a battery product will increase the risk of electric shock.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Remove the rechargeable batteries from the product before
recharging them.
Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Remove exhausted batteries from the product and safely dispose
of them.
If the appliance is to be stored unused for a long period, remove the
battery.
Do not short circuit the supply terminals of the batteries.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool,
battery pack, or charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. AEG Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System AEG chargers for charging System AEG battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.

BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation
and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately
trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated
to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not
start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In
this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
