and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. 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 dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
8. 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.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. 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.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

MOUNTING THE CORRECT ACCESSORY (IF APPLICABLE)
Icon Description
Glass protection nozzle
Do not leave the tool unattended while it is
Q
switched on.
A fire may arise if the appliance is not used
Q
with care.
Heat may be conducted to combustible materi-
Q
als 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.
Q
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes
Q
may be produced.
Do not use as a hairdryer.
Q
Do not obstruct either the air intake or noz-
Q
zle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat
build-up resulting in damage to the tool.
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
Q
Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes
Q
very hot during use and remains hot for up to
30 minutes after use.
Do not place the nozzle against anything while
Q
using or immediately after use.
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as
Q
it could give you an electric shock. Do not
look down the nozzle while the unit is work-
ing because of the high temperature being
produced.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
Q
scraper as it could ignite after some time.
Removing paint
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing
Q
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 cov-
ered with additional layers of paint.
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
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 partic-
ularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure that the work
Q
area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and
Q
keep the nozzle at least 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
Q
that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
