capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the tool by a person
responsible for their safety
• Always check that the supply voltage
is the same as the voltage indicated
on the nameplate of the tool
• Be sure tool is switched o when
plugging in
- do not touch the air outlet/nozzle
and the heated object; they
become extremely hot
- do not hold the air outlet/nozzle too
close to the object to be worked on
- do not direct the hot air ow
towards the same surface for too
long
- never look down the air outlet/
nozzle
- wear protective gloves and use
safety glasses
- never direct the hot air ow towards
persons or animals
- never use the tool for drying hair
- do not leave the tool unattended
- never use the tool in the proximity
of inammable gases or
combustible materials (
)
- when working with plastic, paint,
varnish and similar materials,
inammable and poisonous gases
may be produced; inform yourself
beforehand about the materials to
be worked on
- take into account, that heat may be
transferred to combustible
materials out of eyesight
- to be on the safe side, have a
bucket of water or a re
extinguisher handy, in case any
material catches re
- never poke anything down the air
outlet/nozzle
- avoid body contact with earthed
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
ranges, refrigerators)
- ensure the tool does not get wet
- do not use the tool in damp
locations
- when used outdoors, connect the
tool via a fault current (FI) circuit
breaker with a triggering current of
30 mA maximum, and only use an
extension cord which is intended
for outdoor use and equipped with
a splashproof coupling-socket
- always keep away the cord from
the hot air ow and the air outlet/
nozzle
- keep the cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges
- do not carry the tool by the cord,
and do not yank the cord to
disconnect it from the socket
- do not suspend the tool by the cord
• Never use the tool in conjunction with
chemical solvents
• Make sure work area is adequately
ventilated
• Keep work area clean and well lit
• Keep children away from work area
• Ensure that children do not play with
the tool
• Inrush currents cause short-time
voltage drops; under unfavourable
power supply conditions, other
equipment may be aected (if the
system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0,127 +
j0,079 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely
to occur); if you need further
clarication, you may contact your
local power supply authority
• Stay alert; watch what you are doing,
use common sense and do not
operate the tool when you are tired
• Take a secure stance; do not
overreach, especially on ladders and
stages
• Ensure that the tool is switched o,
before putting it aside
• In case of electrical or mechanical
malfunction, immediately switch o
the tool and disconnect the plug
• Switch o the tool and disconnect the
plug
• Suspend the tool on hanging ring
D 2 or set it down on its rear in an
