Safety

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Warning
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area & safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphere, 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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 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 a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what yol!I 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.
  Use personal protective equipment. Always  wear eye protection. Protective equipment such  as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 situation.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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 for 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 and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool 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 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 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 sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Operation

Tips and notes on handling the heat gun Glass protection / diversion

nozzle

For use on heat-sensitive materials (such as glass) to prevent the risk of breaking glass:

• To remove hardened sealing compound heat the material for a few seconds.
  The glass protection / diversion nozzle redirects the radiated heat and so provides protection against heat cracks.

• For restoration work soften old coats of paint, but do not scorch the wooden surface.

Application example for the glass protection/ diversion nozzle:

Wide-angle nozzle

For use on larger areas (e.g. for drying processes, the removal of paints, varnishes and adhesives or weed control):

• Many adhesives – as on the back of labels or carpets – can be softened with warmth. Then it is possible to dissolve the adhesive bonds, to peel off labels, detach carpets and remove surplus adhesive.
• You can heat up and then remove old coats of paint and lacquer on larger surfaces with a separate scraper.
• Try to avoid excessive heat exposure, for burnt varnish can only be removed with great difficulty.
• Weeds can be scorched alsn by aiming the hot air directly at it.

Application example for the wide-angle nozzle:

Reducing nozzle

For concentrating the air current (e.g. for welding or spot soldering):

• Use the reducing nozzle on shrinking hoses and shrink wrap.
• For a concentrated hot air flow , e.g. for heat-sealing plastics or removing paint coats in corners.
• It is easier to loosen screws when the connection was previously carefully heated by means of hot air.
• For the deformation of plastic pipes.

Application example for the reducing nozzle:

Barbecue lighter nozzle

Warning of flammablle substances
Fire hazard due to improper use of the barbecue lighter nozzle!
Never use methylated spirit or other combustible barbecue lighters in combination with the barbecue lighter nozzle!
Only use the barbecue lighter nozzle on a fire-proof surface (e.g. grill tray) and only to light charcoal!

• Poke the barbecue lighter nozzle deeply into the charcoal.

The charcoal will be hot and ready for use within a few minutes. No further aids are required.

Application example for the barbecue lighter nozzle:
