Intended Use

Your Black & Decker heat gun has been designed for various heating applications (eg. Paint stripping)

General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre

and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. 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.

Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. 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.

e. 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.

3. Personal safety

a. 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 tired or under the

inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools

with your ﬁnger on the switch or plugging in power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power toolin

unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g. 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.

h. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. Before drilling into walls,

ﬂoors or ceilings check for the location of wiring and

pipes. Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as it may be hot.

4. Power tool use and care

a. 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 for which it was designed

b. 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.

ENGLISH

c. 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.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in

accordance 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed 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

• Always switch off before putting tool down.

• Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint,

the peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposures to even low levels of lead can caused irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Do not smoke, eat or drink in a work area that could or may be contaminated by lead. Lead based paints should only

be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a heat gun.

• When removing paints you should ensure that your

work area is enclosed. It is advisable to wear a dust mask.

• Do not burn the paint. Keep the nozzle at least 25mm (1”) from the surface as this keeps the temperature below the required 450°C. If you are scraping from a vertical position then you should scrape downwards to prevent the paint from falling back into the heat gun and burning. Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure

that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing the job.

• Do not use in a damp atmosphere or where

ﬂammable gases may be present or use near

combustible materials. Spaces behind boards, ceilings

and ﬂoors and wall cavities in timber frame constructed houses can contain ﬂammable materials. Check before

using the heat gun.

• Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.

• Ensure adequate ventilation when using heat guns as

toxic fumes may be produced.

• Do not use as a hairdryer! The air temperature is far higher than a hairdryer.

• 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 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 a time.

• Do not operate your heat gun whilst it is hanging by the hanging hook.

• A ﬁre may arise if the appliance is not used with care.

• 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 apply to the same place for a long time;

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is

switched on.

• Place the appliance on its stand after use

Safety of others

• 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.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

ENGLISH

Handling Your Heat Gun

Do not place your hand over the ventilation slots (3) or block

these vents in any way. This restricts the airﬂow through the

element and causes over heating.

Setting the temperature (ﬁg. B)

• To increase the temperature setting, turn the heat control

knob (2) anti-clockwise.

• To reduce the temperature setting, turn the heat control

knob clockwise.

Operating Your Heat Gun (ﬁg. C)

• To switch your heat gun on at the low temperature

setting, press the switch (1) to depress to position “I”.

• To switch the tool on at the high temperature setting, set

the switch (1) to position “II”.

• To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch (1) to position

“0”.

Note: Allow the element to heat up for a few seconds before use. Initially, some smoke may emit from your heat gun. This is normal and will soon cease.

Cooling Down

In use, the nozzle (4) of your heat gun becomes extremely hot. Great care is necessary when cooling your heat gun after use.

Hands Free Use (ﬁg. D)

Proceed as follows: Direct the hot air onto the area to be

removed. When the paint softens, scrape ﬁrmly. Experiment

to establish the length of time necessary to apply the heat to obtain optimum results. Scrape the softened paint immediately or it will harden again.

Your heat gun is not suitable for stripping metal-framed windows. This is because the heat from the heat gun is conducted through the metal and can crack the glass. Scrape with the grain of the wood wherever possible. Do not linger on one spot for too long as the surface may char or ignite.

Accessories

The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used. Black & Decker and Piranha accessories are engineered to high quality standards and designed to enhance the performance of your tool. By using these accessories you will get the very best from your tool.

Maintenance

Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and unplug the tool.

• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a

soft brush or dry cloth.

• Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.

Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

This tool can also be used in stationary mode.

• Place the tool onto a ﬁrm and stable surface as shown.

• Always point your heat gun away from you.

• Secure the cable to prevent pulling your heat gun off the

stand.

Do not touch the nozzle (4) and ensure that nothing is dropped into the nozzle. Carefully switch off your heat gun and then allow it to cool

Paint Stripping

Your heat gun is designed to soften paint and lacquer enabling it to be removed using a good quality hand scraper.
