GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow
all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
.WORK AREA
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
.ELECTRICAL SAFETY
-Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2

USER MANUAL 5
- Avoid body contract with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
.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 inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
- 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 nger on the switch or plug-

ging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jeweler.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jeweler or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
- 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.
.POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct 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.
- 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 tool 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
4

USER MANUAL 7
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.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with cutting edges are less likely to stick and
are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accor-
dance 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.
.SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT
GUNS

- A re 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 damp atmosphere, where ammable
gases may be present or near 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 buildup 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.
- Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it
could ignite after some time.
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 much contact can
result in the ingestion of lead.
6

USER MANUAL 97
- Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause irreversible
damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
- When removing paint., ensue that the work area is enclosed.
Preferably wear a dust mask.
- Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper (if applicable) and
keep the nozzle at leaf 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.
