- 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 outdours, 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 outdour use and equipped with a splashproof coupling-socket

Handle the cord with care

- always keep away the cord from the hot air stream 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

USE

On/off switch with 3 temperature settings

! check if switch A is in position "0" before

plugging in

- switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired position: 1 = 50°C, air stream 250 litres/minute 2 = 400°C, air stream 250 litres/minute 3 = 570°C, air stream 500 litres/minute

- when using it for the first time, some smoke may emit from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease

- switch off the tool by pushing switch A in position "0"

General use

- determine the right temperature by testing out on an inconspicuous part of the workpiece; start with a low temperature setting

- the temperature falls as the distance between the air outlet/nozzle and the workpiece increases

- the temperature required depends on the material to be worked on

Stationary use

- set the tool down on its rear in an upright position

- make sure the surface is clean and dustfree; polluted air damages the motor

- make sure the air stream is directed away from you

- secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool
