Safety Instructions for Heat Guns
A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore:
Heat may be conducted to combustible materials that
are out of sight. DO NOT use in a damp atmosphere,
where flammable gases may be present or near
combustiblematerials.
Place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it to cool
down beforestorage.
DO NOT leave the tool unattended while it is switchedon.
DO NOT place your hand over the air vents or block the vents
in anyway.
The nozzle and accessories of this tool become extremely hot
during use. Let these parts cool down beforetouching.
ALWAYS switch the tool off before putting itdown.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for theirsafety.
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes may beproduced.
DO NOT use as a hairdryer.
DO NOT obstruct either the air intake or nozzle outlet, as this
may cause excessive heat build up 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 temperatures beingproduced.
DO NOT allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it
could ignite after sometime.
DO NOT remove the heat barrel cover duringuse.
To reduce the risk of explosion, DO NOT use in paint spray
booths or within 3.0 m of paint sprayingoperations.
DO NOT use this tool to remove paint containing lead.
The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead
which ispoisonous.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit
boards and other panels may contain flammable materials
that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these
locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily
apparent and could result in property damage and injury to
persons. When working in these locations, keep the heat gun
moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in
one spot could ignite the panel or the material behindit.
NOTE: These heat guns are capable of producing
temperatures in excess of 530 ˚C.
DO NOT use this tool to heatfood.
DO NOT lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when
operating the gun or immediately after shutting it off. Allow
the tool to cool before storing. Always set the gun on a flat
level surface so that the nozzle tip is pointedupward.
Keep moveable items secured and steady whilescraping.
Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away from
other people or flammableobjects.
DO NOT remove the heat barrel cover duringuse.
DO NOT touch the nozzle to any surface while running or
shortly afterrunning.
Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be
ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the surface
beingstripped.
DO NOT burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle
at least 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.
ALWAYS use good quality scrapers and strippingknives.
DO NOT use the heat gun in combination with
chemicalstrippers.
DO NOT use accessory nozzles asscrapers.
DO NOT direct heatgun airflow directly on glass. The
glass may crack and could result in property damage or
personalinjury.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
importantinformation.
Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not
handheld.
Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable
materials, soften or melt others. Regardless of the task you
are performing, shield or keep the heat gun away from
thesematerials.
You may occasionally notice some slight smoking of the tool
after it is turned off. This is the result of heating the residual
oil that was deposited on the heating element during the
manufacturingprocess.
Use eye protection and other safetyequipment.
Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a tool will increase the risk of electricshock.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the tool in
unexpectedsituations.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrainedusers.
Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the tool ismaintained.
