Guarantee and Liability
Guarantee and liability are in accordance with this guarantee certificate and the current terms and conditions
of sale. Techspan rejects any guarantee claims for tools which are not in original condition. The tool must
never be modified.
Caution - Risk of Serious Injury and property damage
Always lie the tool on a non-flammable surface & keep the hot air stream well away from combustible materials, includ-
ing combustible materials hidden behind ceilings, walls, cavities or floors. Do not point the hot air stream at the same
spot for extended periods. Incorrect use can cause fire. Do not touch the element housing or nozzle with any part of the
body during use as they get very hot and there is a danger of serious injury by burning. When working with plastics,
varnish or similar materials vapours/gases/smoke develop which can be harmful. Do not breathe in vapours/gasses/
smoke as they can be highly toxic. Always provide good ventilation of the working area with an extraction system and/or
wear a respirator. Keep the unit dry. Do not use in the rain or in damp conditions. Always store the unit in a dry place.
