Double Insulation; Electrical Safety - BLACK&DECKER CD700 Manual De Instrucciones

buildings may have been painted in the past with
paint containing lead and covered by 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; young
and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. 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 heatgun.
• When removing paints you should ensure that your
work area is enclosed. It is advisable to wear a dust
mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the integral scraper
where supplied otherwise keep the nozzle at least
25mm (1") from the surface as this keeps the
temperature below the required 450˚C. If you are
scraping from a vertical position then you should
scrape downwards to prevent the paint from falling
back into the heatgun and burning. Dispose of all
paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is
thoroughly cleaned after completing the job.
• Do not use in a damp atmosphere or where
flammable gases may be present or use near
combustible materials. Spaces behind boards,
ceilings and floors and wall cavities in timber frame
constructed houses can contain flammable
materials. Check before using the heatgun.
• Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when using heatguns
as toxic fumes may be produced.
• Do not use as a hairdryer! The air temperature is far
higher than 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 gets 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
temperatures being produced.
• Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
scraper as it could ignite after a time.
• Do not operate your heatgun whilst it is hanging by
the hanging ring.

DOUBLE INSULATION

The tool is double insulated. This means that all
the external metal parts are electrically insulated
from the mains power supply. This is done by
placing insulation barriers between the
electrical and mechanical components making
it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place
of normal safety precautions when operating the
tool. The insulation system is for added protection
against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on
the rating plate. The tool is fitted with a two-core cable
and plug.
MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK ONLY)
Should the mains plug need replacing and you are
competent to do this, proceed as instructed below.
If you are in doubt, contact a Black & Decker service
agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the power supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of safely. A plug with
bared copper conductors is very dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the
correctly rated fuse. Note: Fuses do not give
personal protection against electric shock.
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at
the connection point of most good quality plugs.
Attach the wires to their respective points in the
plug (see diagram). Brown is L (live) and blue is
N (neutral).
