PARTS LIST

WARNING: Read this manual and general safety instruction carefully before using the appliance, for your own safety. Your power tool should only be passed on together with these instructions.

NOTE: Your heat gun has been designed for stripping paint, soldering pipes, shrinking PVC, welding and bending plastic as well as general drying and thawing purposes.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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.
• Avoid body contract 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 orunplugging 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 a power tool on a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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 tried or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hand hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.
• 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.
• 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jeweler. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jeweler or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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 of which it was designed.
• 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.
• 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.
• Store idle power tool out of the reach children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool of these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
• 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 lead to a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by 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

• Do not place your hand over the air vents or block the vents in any way.
• The nozzle and accessories of this tool become extremely hot during use. Let these parts cool down before touching.
• Always switch the tool off before putting it down.
• Do not leave the tool unattended while it is switched on.
• A fire may arise if the appliance is not used with care.
• Heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight.
• Do not use in a damp atmosphere, where flammable gases may be present or near combustible materials.
• Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
• Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes may be produced.
• Do not use as a hairdryer.
• Do not obstruct either the air intake or nozzle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat buildup 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 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 look down the nozzle while the unit is working because of the high temperature being produced.
• Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after some time.

REMOVING PAINT

• Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead and covered with additional layers of paint.
• Once deposited on surfaces, hand to much contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
• Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
• When removing paint., ensue that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper (if applicable) and keep thenozzle at leaf 25 mm away from the painted surface. When working in a vertical direction, work downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool and burning.
• Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing the work.

KEYS ADJUSTMENT

POSITION 1

• cooling the hot parts
• cooling the machines before changing the nozzle.

POSITION 2
