Danger of fire and explosion if the device is used
incorrectly. Demonstrate the necessary caution when using
the welding machine near combustible materials. Never use
the device in inflammable areas.
Danger of burns
Do not touch the hot air device when it is still hot. Let the
device cool down.
Connect the device to a socket with protective earth
conductor. Any interruption of the protective earth
conductor within or outside the device is dangerous! Only
use extension cables with protective earth conductor and a
minimum diameter of 2.5 mm².
The voltage rating stated on the nameplate must correspond
to the mains voltage.
Consult your local electricity supplier if necessary.
For personal protection, the device must be connected to a
residual current circuit breaker before using it on
