GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Non-observance of the safety rules while working with the hot heat gun
can lead to fire, explosion, electric shock or burns. Read the operating instructions
before using the heat gun and always observe the safely rules. Save these instructions
and give them to persons that have not been instructed before they use the heat gun.
WARNING: A damaged casing or an opened unit can lead to a hazardous electric
shock. Do not open the heat gun and do not put a damaged heat gun into operation.
Do not drill into the casing, e.g. to attach a company label. Before any work on the unit,
pull the mains plug.
WARNING: A damaged power cord can lead to a hazardous electric shock. Check the
power cord regularly. Do not operate the unit when the power cord is damaged. Always
have a damaged cord replaced through a specialist. Do not wrap the cord around the
heat gun and protect it from oil, heat and sharp edges. Do not carry the heat gun by the
cord and do not use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet.
WARNING: Do not work in rain or in a moist or wet environment. This can lead to a
hazardous electric shock. Keep the heat gun dry. Store the heat gun in a dry location
when not in use. Consider the weather conditions. Do not work in wet sanitary facilities.
Avoid body contact with grounded cables or surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
WARNING: Connect the heat gun that is used in the open via a residual current circuit
breaker (RCCB).
WARNING: Danger of explosion! The hot heat gun can explosively ignite combustible
fluids and gases. Do not work in a potentially explosive environment. Check the
surrounding before starting to work. Do not work on fuels or gas containers or in their
vicinity, even when they are empty.
WARNING: Danger of fire! Heat can reach combustible materials that are hidden
behind coverings, in ceilings, floors or cavities, and ignite them. Inspect the work area
before starting to work and in case of doubt, abstain from using the hot heat gun. Do
not point the heat gun at the same spot for extended periods.
WARNING: Danger of fire! An unsupervised operating hot heat gun can set fire to
objects that are close by. The heat gun must be supervised at all limes during operation.
When allowing the switched off heat gun to cool down, always place it down vertical
and standing. Allow the heat gun to cool down completely.
WARNING: Danger of fire! When working plastics varnish or similar materials, gases
develop that are easily inflammable and can lead to explosions. Be prepared for flames
to develop and keep suitable fire-extinguishing means at hand.
WARNING: Danger of intoxication! When working plastics, varnish or similar materials,
gases develop that can be aggressive or toxic. Avoid breathing in vapours, even when
they appear to be harmless. Always provide for good ventilation of the work area or
wear a respirator.
