SAFETY GUIDELINES SAFETY GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the power tool or machinery
in rainy conditions or wet areas where the
power tool or machinery could get wet.
Water in this power tool or machinery can
lead to electric shock.
• Only use the power tool or machinery
when the plug correctly matches the
power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly
increases the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the power cord away from anything
that could damage it such as sharp edges,
moving parts or heat. A damaged power
cord increases the risk of electric shock.
• Only operate outdoors with the use of an
outdoor extension lead. Not all extension
leads are suited to outdoor use and using
one which is not can greatly increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded or
earthed surfaces. Surfaces such as radiators,
ranges, pipes, and refrigerators can increase
the risk of electric shock due to your body
being earthed or grounded.
• Never carry the power tool by the cord,
or yank the cable from the power outlet.
This can damage the internal wiring and may
become a hazard.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause serious injury
or, in some cases be fatal.
Electrical Safety
• Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing
a tool to do a job it was not designed for
increases the risk of accident or injury.
• Disconnect tools and machinery from
power, or remove batteries before doing
any maintenance or adjustments, or
before storing the tools and machinery.
This reduces or removes the risk of a power
connection that causes the tool or machinery
to accidentally re, which can help prevent
injury or accident.
• Check the general condition of the power
tool for damage or any problems that
could aect the way the tool or machine
works. An unrepaired tool or machine can
lead to accident and injury. Only have your
tool or machine repaired with genuine parts
from The ToolShed.
• Only use the power tool and machinery
with genuine parts or accessories that are
designed to be used with this power tool
and machinery. Failure to do so could result
in accident or injury or damage your tool or
machinery.
• Store your tool or machinery out of reach
of children, and away from untrained
personnel when not in use. Use by some-
body untrained, or a child, could lead to
accident or serious injury.
Power Tool & Machinery Use &
Care
• Always wear personal protective equip-
ment (PPE). Eye protection, ear protection,
dust masks, and other protective equipment
will help to reduce the risk of personal injury
or long-term illnesses.
• Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear loose
clothing that can get caught in moving
parts. Keep hair, loose clothing, jewellery,
and anything else that could be of risk, away
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS &
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to
serious injury, electric shock, or re.
from moving parts in the machine, or they
could become caught therein.
• Always remain alert and DO NOT operate
power tools or machinery under the inu-
ence of any substances such as alcohol
or drugs, including prescription medica-
tions. Lack of focus could lead to injury or
accidents while operating these power tools
and machinery.
• Always ensure proper footing and
balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping
and falling which can result in injury or acci-
dent.
• Ensure the power switch is in the OFF
position before connecting any battery,
or power source to the power tool or
machinery. This can cause injury as tools
and machinery can suddenly re incidentally
when live, causing accidents.
• Use all provided dust collection and
extraction attachments, if included. This
equipment, along with the use of PPE dust
masks, can help keep you safe from dust, and
keep your work site clear from hazards.
• Ensure loose parts such as wrenches
or adjusting keys are removed before
starting the power tool or machinery.
WARNING
Work Area Safety
Personal Safety
• Ensure that your work area is kept clean
and well lit. Lack of visibility and clutter
greatly increase the risk of accident when
using tools.
• Keep bystanders, pets, and children
clear when operating this power tool or
machine. They can cause distraction or risk
injury to themselves.
• Ensure you are not operating the power
tool or machinery in the presence of dust,
liquids, ammable gases, or anything
that can create an explosive atmosphere.
Power tools and machinery can create sparks
which can lead to ignition and re hazards in
working environments.

Removing Paint
• Have your tools and machinery serviced
at The ToolShed with ToolShed replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool or machine is maintained.
• Do not use this tool to remove paint that
contains Lead. The peelings, residue, and
vapours of paint may contain lead, which
is poisonous. Any pre-1960’s 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.
• Heat may be conducted to combustible
materials that are out of sight. Do not use
in a damp atmosphere, where ammable
gasses may be present, or near combustible
materials.
• Allow the heat gun to fully cool down before
storing it away in its carry case, and away in
storage.
• Ensure it is used in an adequately ventilated
area as toxic fumes may be produced.
• NEVER direct the hot air blast at other
people, animals, or any body part.
• NEVER use this heat gun as a hair dryer.
• Do not place your hand over the air vents or
block the vents in any way.
• Do not leave the tool unattended while it is
switched on.
• Do not obstruct either the air intake, or the
nozzle outlet, as this may cause excessive
heat build up, resulting in damage to the
tool.
• Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes
very hot during use and may remain hot for
a period up to, or more than 30 minutes after
use.
• Do not touch the outlet nozzle against
anything while using, or immediately after
use, as this will create a re hazard.
• Do not poke anything into any outlet of the
heat gun as you could receive an electric
shock.
• Do not look down the nozzle while it is in
operation duetothe very high heatproduced
from that end.
• Do not apply heat the same area for
extended periods of time.
• Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
scraper as it could ignite after some time
• The nozzle and accessories of this tool
become extremely hot during use. Let these
parts cool down before touching.
• Always switch the tool o before putting it
down at any time.
• A re may arise if the appliance is not used
with care.

WARNING
WARNING
The warnings and precautions
discussed in this manual cannot cover
all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense
and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
If not used properly, this tool has the
high potential to become a re hazard.
Please take care while using, and take
care in the time after the tool has been
turned o.
Lead-based paint should only be
removed by a professional and should
not be removed using a heat gun.
Use only one hand to hold the heat gun,
do not place your other hand over the
air vents.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the heat gun before attaching
or removing accessories or making
adjustments.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
remove or attach accessory tips
until the tool has cooled to room
temperature.
• It is not possible to cover every conceivable
situation you can face. Always exercise care
and use your common sense. If you get into
a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and
seek expert advise. Contact your dealer,
service agent, or an experienced user. Do not
attempt any task you feel unsure of!
Always Use Common Sense
• 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, ensure that the work
area is enclosed. Always wear a dusk mask
and goggles as a minimum PPE requirement.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and
keep the nozzle at least 25mm away from the
painted surface. When working in a vertical
direction, start from the top and work your
way downwards to prevent paint from falling
into the tool and burning.
• Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure
that the work area, as well as all your tools,
are thoroughly cleaned after completing the
work.
• Your heat gun has been designed for strip-
ping paint, soldering pipes, shrinking PVC,
welding and bending plastic, as well as
general drying and thawing purposes.
