SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Operating requirements

• The tool must not be used lying flat nor permanently directed

downwards.

• Ensure that the air inlet openings and the adapter outlet are not

obstructed, as this can lead to excessive heat build-up and thus to

damage to the tool.

• After use put the tool on its stand and allow it to cool down com-

pletely before packing it away.

Application

• The tool must be used only for the applications indicated in the

instructions for use.

Paint stripping

• When removing paint care should be exercised, particularly if the paint contains lead

pigments. Buildings dating from before 1978 may well have been painted with lead-

containing paint which has subsequently been painted over. Before starting work, it is

important to determine whether the paint which you wish to remove contains lead.

This can be determined using a lead test kits or by a professional paint contractor.

• Lead and dust containing lead particles are extremely dangerous. Small

children and pregnant women are particularly endangered and should be kept away

from renovation work in which lead-based paints are being removed.

• When removing lead-containing paints you should ensure that the work space is shut

off from its surroundings. We recommend that a dust-mask should be worn. You

should not smoke, eat or drink in work spaces which may be contaminated by lead.

Do not burn off the paint. The hot air temperature should remain below 840 ºF.

Do not misuse the cord

• Do not carry the tool by the cord, and do not use the cord to pull the plug out of the

socket.

• Protect the cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Do not wind the cord around the tool.

• Use only permitted and correspondingly marked extension cords.

• Take care of your tool. Follow the maintenance rules and the instructions for adapter

change.

• Check the plug and cord regularly; if they are damaged have them replaced by a reco-

gnized service center.

• Check the extension cords regularly and have damaged ones replaced by a electric

specialist.

Inspection after damage

• Before further use of the tool, slightly damaged parts should be carefully checked to

ensure that can fulfil their function correctly and in accordance with requirements.

Damaged tools must be repaired by an authorized service center. Never use a tool if

its switch will not switch on and off.

• Adapters must be fitted firmly and safely to the tool. Check: no hot air must flow to

the tool itself - the tool would be damaged.

• Keep the handles free of oil and grease.

Storage of heat guns

• Heat guns which are not in use should be stored in a dry enclosed place out of the

reach of children.

mechanical protection

• Shrinking on packing and postal packets

• Shrink-rapping of electrical components such as condensers, batteries and connec-

tors

Forming

• Forming Acrylic, PVC and polystyrene articles

• Forming of pipes, sheets and profiles

• Forming wet wood (putting into shape and then drying with hot air)

Paint stripping

• Stripping of all oil and lacquer, even in thick layers, from furniture and panelling, gut-

cleanly with a paint knife, paint scraper or wire brush. For windows use glass-protec-

ting adapter.

Drying

• Drying of color samples, applied fillers, adhesives and polyester putties

• Drying of formed parts

• Drying of building joints before spraying insulation or sealant

Adhesives

• Gluing large surfaces with contact adhesive by warming and lengthening setting time

• Activation of adhesives

• Acceleration of gluing processes by shortening the setting time of 2-component

adhesives

• Loosing screwed connections which are adhesive-fastened, PVC stickers, e.g. on

commercial and private vehicles

• Fastening or removing of edge-bandings

Thawing

• Thawing iced-up steps, car locks, boot-lids and doors, and water-pipes

• De-frosting refrigerators and deep-freezes (do not heat the plastic walls, as this could

lead to deformation or damage)
