CAUTION
Danger to life when opening the tool, as live compo-
nents and connections are exposed. Unplug the tool
before opening it.
Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and
explosion hazard, especially near combustible materials
and explosive gases.
The tool must be operated with supervision. Warmth
can reach combustible materials, which are out of sight.
Do not touch the element housing and nozzle as long as
they are hot since they can cause burns. Let the tool
cool down. Do not point hot air flow in the direction of
people or animals.
Protect the tool from dampness and wet.
