Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on
proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/
guarantee.
a) General information
• The product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent
unauthorized use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.
• Always handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
may damage the product.
• The housing of the hot-gas burner must not be opened or damaged. It may also
not be held in fire or open flames or be thrown! Risk of explosion!
• If the product should become damaged or defective, dispose of it correctly. If
gas is still contained and is leaking out, the product may have to be kept in an
appropriate outside location for a while, so that the gas can escape. Ensure there
is adequate ventilation; keep a safe distance from all naked flames or ignition
sources (risk of fire and explosion!). Keep a safe distance from flammable objects,
risk of fire!
• Never expose the hot-gas burner to mechanical stress. The gas tank could start to
leak (danger of fire and explosion!).
• The hot-gas burner must not be operated, filled or stored in areas where explosive,
easily flammable materials, combustible gases, vapours, dust, or inflammable
liquids (solvents, alcohol, petrol, etc.) are stored or could be stored. There is the
risk of explosion or fire!
• Protect the product from dirt and damp. This may damage the product or cause
corrosion.
• Only move the product when it has completely cooled down; there is a risk of
burns or of fire! The same applies to the storage of the product.
• The hot-gas burner may be transported or stored only in an upright position (foot
down, nozzle/volume control up).
• For use in commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the
employer's liability insurance company are to be observed.
• In schools, educational facilities, hobby and DIY workshops, the product must be
operated under the supervision of qualified personnel.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must be done by a technician or an
authorized repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Filling
• The hot-gas burner must only be filled after it has cooled down completely;
otherwise, there is a risk of explosion!
• If the hot-gas burner is damaged, it must not be refilled! This can result in a fire
or explosion!
• Fill your hot-gas burner only with commercially available butane gas (lighter gas)
and only in a well-ventilated environment. Avoid open flames (explosion hazard!).
• Observe the safety and operating instructions of the gas cartridge manufacturer,
when refilling the product.
• Stop the filling process immediately if gas escapes. A gas-air mixture could arise
which could explode. Make sure that the room has been well ventilated before you
ignite hot-gas burners or other sources of ignition.
• After filling, the hot-gas burner contains highly flammable gas that is under
pressure. Therefore, it must be kept away from sources of heat, high temperatures
(> +40 °C) or direct sunlight; otherwise, there is a risk of explosion!
• Do not remove or open the filling valves to allow gas to escape. Risk of fire and
explosion!
c) Operation
• Only hold the hot-gas burner by the grip. Always hold it so the flame points away
from you. Always hold it so that the grip points downward.
• When igniting and using the hot-gas burner, keep it away from your body and
clothing.
• Never reach into the open flame! Never touch the hot metal parts of the hot-gas
burner! This will cause serious burns!
• Never leave the hot-gas burner unattended while it is in use. This constitutes a
fire hazard!
• Never point the flame directly at people or animals!
• Note that depending on the ambient lighting, the flame may be only poorly visible
or not visible at all. Even a small flame emits very high heat. Materials can catch
fire and there is a risk of burns.
• Place the hot-gas burner during work breaks or for it to cool off on the stand. Then
place the hot-gas burner on a stable, level surface; in so doing, make sure that it
cannot tip over or fall down, fire danger!
• Do not let the flame burn for more than 10 minutes without interruption.
• Never ignite liquid or gaseous fuels (e.g. benzines, spirits, etc.) with the hot-gas
burner, risk of explosion!
• Depending on the activity for which you use the hot-gas burner, suitable protective
equipment and observation of additional safety precautions are necessary.
• Many materials give off biohazardous or even toxic vapours when heated. If
necessary, use a suitable venting system or ventilate sufficiently.
• Never try to cool the hot-gas burner with water or any other liquids; doing so will
damage it.
