HEAT GUN SAFETY
• 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 build up 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 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 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 and keep the nozzle 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.
