Black & Decker KX1650 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine page 5

d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. 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.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety instructions for
heat guns.
Warning: Do not use outdoors, indoor use only.
Warning: This appliance must be placed on its
stand when not in use.
Warning: A fi re may result if the appliance is not
used with care, therefore be careful when using the
appliance in places where there are combustible
materials.
♦ Do not apply heat to the same place for a long
time.
♦ Do not use in presence of an explosive atmos-
phere.
♦ Be aware that heat may be conducted to com-
bustible materials that are out of sight.
♦ Place the appliance on its stand after use and
allow it to cool down before storage.
♦ Do not leave the appliance unattended when it
is switched on.
♦ Do not obstruct either the air intake slots or the
nozzle outlet as this may cause excessive heat
build up resulting in damage to the appliance.
♦ Do not direct the hot air fl ow at other people or
animals.
♦ Do not touch the nozzle as it becomes very hot
during use and remains hot for up to 30 minutes
after use.
♦ Do not place the nozzle against any object dur-
ing 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 appliance
is switched on.
♦ Do not use the appliance as a hair dryer! The
air temperature is far higher than a hardware.
♦ Ensure adequate ventilation during use as toxic
fumes may be produced.
♦ Do not use the appliance in a damp atmosphere.
♦ When stripping paint, ensure that the work
area is enclosed. Wear a dust mask specifi cally
designed for protection against lead paint dust
and fumes and ensure that persons within or
entering the work area are also protected.
♦ Do not burn paint, as it could cause a fi re hazard.
♦ Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle as it
could ignite after some time.
♦ Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool
before fi tting any accessory.
Stripping lead-based paint
♦ Extreme care should be taken when stripping
paint. The peelings, residue and vapours of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-
1960 building may in the past have been painted
with paint containing lead. This paint may be
covered with additional layers of paint. Once
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead.
♦ Exposures to even low levels of lead can cause
irreversible brain and nervous system damage.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to
children and pregnant women.
♦ Before starting work, it is important to determine
whether the paint to be stripped contains lead.
This can be done using a test kit or by a profes-
sional decorator. Do not smoke, eat or drink in
a work area that could or may be contaminated
by lead. Lead based paints should only be
removed by a professional and should not be
removed using a heat gun.
Safety of others
♦ This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
