Safety precautions

Read and observe this
information before
using the tool. Failure
to observe the operat-
ing instructions may
result in the tool be-
coming a source of
danger.
When using electric pow-
er tools, observe the fol-
lowing basic safety pre-
cautions to avoid elec-
tric shock as well as the
risk of injury and fire. If
the tool is not used care-
fully, it may cause a fire
or injure persons. Check
the tool for any dam-
age (mains connection
lead, housing etc.) before
putting it into operation
and do not use the tool if
it is damaged.
Do not leave the tool
switched on unattended.
Children should be super-
vised to make sure they
do not play with the tool.
First time of use
A small quantity of
smoke may develop
when the tool is used for
the first time. This smoke
is caused by binding
agents released from
the heater's insulating
film during the first time
of use. To let the smoke
escape quickly, the tool
should be set down on
its standing surface. The
area you are working in
should be well ventilated
when using the tool for
the first time. Any smoke
coming out of the tool is
not harmful!
