Use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
Restrict air flow from the nozzle outlet or
fan inlets.
Allow the heat gun to become damp or be
operated in damp conditions.
Use the heat gun close to inflammable
materials because heat may be conducted
to combustible materials which are out of
sight.
Apply to the same place for a long time.
Under any circumstances aim the heat gun

A hot nozzle can cause damage.
Before every use check the condition of
the plug and cable. If these are damaged in
any way do not use. Repairs must be
carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation as gases and vapors may be
given off when stripping paint. Ensure that
protective goggles and masks are used.
Poisonous or inflammable gases may be
produced when working with paints
(especially older type lead paints),
varnishes, plastics and similar materials.
Ensure the heat gun switch is in the center
off position when connecting to the power
supply.
Ensure children and pets are kept away
from the work area.
It is recommended that a suitable circuit
breaker to U 489 is fitted between the
