4 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool”in the warnings refers to your electric operated corded heat gun.
4.1 Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks and this tool creates heat which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions or external
influence can cause you to lose control.
4.2 Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the proper outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock and eventual failure.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool on a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
4.3 Personal safety
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 tried or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury or
even death.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hand hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will
reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on increases the likelihood of accidents.
Remove any adjustment key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating or heating part of a power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach your work area while using a power tool. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts or heaters. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts or heaters.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4.4 Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The proper power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate of which it was designed.
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 or discarded.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool of these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts
and 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.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from

intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
4.5 Service
Have your power tool serviced only by qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUNS
Do not place your hand over the air vents or block the vents in any way.
The nozzle and accessories of this tool become extremely hot during use. Let these parts cool
down before touching.
Always switch the tool off before putting it down.
Do not leave the tool unattended while it is switched on or plugged in.
A fire may arise if the appliance is not used with care.
Heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight. Do not use in a moist
atmosphere, where flammable gases may be present, or near other combustible materials.
Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes may be produced.
Do not use as a hairdryer.
Do not obstruct either the air intake or nozzle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat build up
resulting in damage to the tool.
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very hot during use and remains hot for up to 30
minutes after use.
Do not place the nozzle against anything while using or immediately after use.
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could give you an electric shock. Do not look down
the nozzle while the unit is working because of the high temperature being produced will quickly
cause eye and skin injuries.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after some time.
6 REMOVING PAINT
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous.Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past
with paint containing lead and covered with additional layers of paint.
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Even low levels of lead exposure can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous
system. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure that the work area is contained and wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle at least 25 mm away from the
painted surface. When working in a vertical direction, work downwards to prevent paint from
falling into the tool and burning.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
