If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.

Creation of Smoke During Initial Use
A coating protects the metal surfaces from corrosion ex-
works. This protective layer evaporates during initial use.
The heat gun may display discolourations on the nozzle (3)
due to the production process. These do not count as dam-
age; the functioning of the heat gun is not affected.
Switching On
Slide the on/off switch (2) upwards.
