or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may re-
sult in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-
er tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 hazard-
ous situation.
5. SERVICE
a) 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.

Additional safety
rules for hot air guns
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
▪ Always switch off the power tool before to placing it
down.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a
power source ensure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than that speci-
fied for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
as well as damage to the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or in-
jury resulting from such cases of misuse.
▪ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.
▪ Do not touch the air outlet or nozzle and the heated
object; they become extremely hot.
▪ During application the heat nozzle must be kept at
least above 50mm away from the workpiece to allow
air flow.
▪ Do not point the hot air stream for a long period at one
spot.
▪ Never direct the hot air stream towards your face.
▪ Never direct the hot air stream towards persons or
animals.
▪ Never use the tool for drying hair or clothing.
▪ Do not leave a switched on machine unattended.
▪ Never use the tool in the proximity of inflammable
gases or combustible materials (risk of explosion).
▪ When working with plastics, paints, lacquers and simi-
lar materials, combustible and poisonous gases may
be produced. Inform yourself beforehand about the
materials to be worked on.
WARNING: Please note that heat may be
transferred to combustible materials out of eyesight.
To be on the safe side, have a bucket of water or a fire
extinguisher at hand, in case any material catches fire.
▪ Never poke anything down the air outlet or nozzle.
▪ When operating outdoors, connect the machine via
a residual current (RCD) circuit breaker with a trig-
gering current of 30 mA maximum, and only use an
extension cord which is intended for outdoor use and
equipped with a splash-proof coupling-socket.
▪ Always keep away the cord from the hot air stream
and the air outlet/nozzle.
▪ Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
▪ Never use the power tool in conjunction with chemical
