SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
■ 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.
■ Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
■ 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.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ If operating power tools in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
■ 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
■ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ 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.
■ 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
■ 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.
■ This product 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
product by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the product.

■ Never push anything down inside the hot air nozzle.
■ Always allow the heat gun to cool down completely
before storing it.
■ Always store the heat gun in a safe place, out of the
reach of children. It is not a toy.
■ This device shall connect to such power supply network
with impedance equal to or less than 0.063 + j0.039
Ω or the agreement with power supplier or user. Any
mismatched connection may cause high voltage
fluctuation.
■ A fire may result if the product is not used with care,
therefore:
– be careful when using the product in places where
there are combustible materials;
– do not apply to the same place for a long time;
– do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
– be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible
materials that are out of sight;
– place the product on its stand after use and allow it
to cool down before storage;
– do not leave the product unattended when it is
switched on.
■ Check the area where the heat gun is to be used.
Behind ceilings, floors and false ceilings may contain
highly flammable material. Always check these before
using the heat gun.
■ Keep the work area clean and uncluttered.
■ Keep the work area well lit.
■ Keep children and visitors away from the work area,
heat gun and any extension cables.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, please wear proper
shoes to avoid contact with earthed surfaces.
■ Never carry the heat gun by its power cable or pull on
the cord to disconnect it.
■ Use only suitable extension cables.
■ Inspect the heat gun cable regularly and if damaged,
have it repaired by authorized service centre.
■ When the heat gun is used outdoors, use only extension
cables that are suitable for exterior use.
■ When working on small or irregular shaped objects,
clamp the object in a vice or clip.
■ Ensure the tool switch is at off position before plugging

■ Disconnect the heat gun when it is not in use. Ensure
that the heat gun cannot start accidentally. If the heat
gun stops while it is in use, disconnect it from the power
supply and have it serviced by authorised service
centre.
WARNING
Always concentrate on the job and use common sense
when working with this or any other tools. Do not use this
tool when you are tired or taking medication that may
make you drowsy.
NOTE: Keep the nozzle at least 10 cm away from the
working surface. Heat guns have a safety cut-off which will
stop the heat gun if you are working too close to the surface
being stripped. If the cut-off operates, the heat gun must
be allowed to cool for about 30 minutes before it can be
used again.
■ Never use the heat gun in combination with solvents.
■ After use, remove any paint or varnish residue on the
nozzle and scrapers. This could catch fire.
■ Always work in a well ventilated area. Flakes and
residues of lead-based paints are highly toxic.
