Safety Rules
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Be careful when working with the power
tool. The power tool produces intense heat which
can lead to increased danger of fire and explosion.
Exercise special care when working close to
inflammable materials. The hot air jet or the hot
nozzle can ignite dust or gases.
Do not operate or work with the power tool
in areas where there is danger of explosion.
Never direct the hot air jet at the same posi-
tion for longer periods. Easily inflammable
gases can develop e.g., when working plastic,
paint, varnish or similar materials.
Be aware that heat can be conducted to hid-
den covered materials and can ignite them.
After using, place the power tool down in a
secure manner and allow it to cool down
completely before packing it away. The hot
nozzle can cause damage.
Do not leave the switched-on power tool
unattended.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD).
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Always wear safety goggles. Safety goggles
will reduce the risk of injuries.
Disconnect the plug from the socket outlet
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or placing the power tool aside.
This safety measure prevents unintentional starting
of the power tool.

Check the power tool, cord and plug each
time before use. Do not use the power tool if
damage is determined. Do not open the
power tool yourself and have it serviced only
by a qualified repair person using only origi-
nal spare parts. Damaged power tools, cords
and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Provide for good ventilation of
your working place. Gas and vapour
developing during working are often
harmful to one's health.
Wear safety gloves and do not touch the hot
nozzle. Danger of burning.
Never direct the hot air jet against persons or
animals.
Do not use the power tool as a hairdryer. The
hot air being blown out is significantly hotter than
that from a hairdryer.
