OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning! The hot air gun operates at a tempera-
ture of 580 degrees without visible signs of heat. Be
careful: the hot air stream and the mouthpiece are very hot
and can cause burns.
Be aware that the hot air stream is a fire risk although no flames are visible. Do not touch the mouthpiece or point it at
yourself.
Do not leave the hot air gun unattended when switched on.
Do not use for drying hair, animals or on any living thing.
Keep the hot air gun away from children and animals
Do not use the hot air gun in a bath, near water or inflammable liquids.
Concentrate
Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember
that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious
injuries in a split second.
Keep work area clean

Consider the work environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vapours or gases.
Guard against electric shock
This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).
Keep children and pets away
Do not let children or pets come into contact with the
tool, extension cable or work area.
Do not force the tool
It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which
they were not intended; for example do not use a circular
saw for cutting trees or logs.
Do not abuse cable
Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect
it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins
when connecting or removing the plug.
Secure Work

for the power input of the tool (minimum cable size
1.5mm2). Plug into an earthed socket only.
When using a cable reel unwind it fully. Do not use long
extension cables.
Outdoors use
If the tool is suitable to be used outdoors, only use an
extension cable intended for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Do not use in
rain or damp conditions.
Connect a dust extraction device
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust of fume
extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.
