ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HEAT GUNS
22
Always switch off before putting tool
down.
23 Extreme care should be taken when
stripping paint, the peelings, residue
and vapors of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Once deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can
caused 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 heat gun.
When removing paints you should
24
ensure that your work area is enclosed.
It is advisable to wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Keep the
25
nozzle at least 25mm (1") from the
surface as this keeps the temperature
below the re quired 450°C. If you are
scraping from a vertical position then
you should scrape downwards to
prevent the paint from falling
back into the heat gun 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
26
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 flam
mable materials. Check before using
the heat gun.supply cord is replaced

27
Allow the tool to cool fully before
storing.
28 Ensure adequate ventilation when
using heat guns as toxic fumes may be
produced.
29 Do not use as a hairdryer! The
air temperature is far higher than a
hairdryer.
Do not obstruct either the air intake
30
or nozzle outlet as this may cause
excessive heat build up resulting in
damage to the tool.
31
Do not direct the hot air blast at other
people.
32
Do not touch the metal nozzle as
it becomes very hot during use and
remains hot for up to 30 minutes after
use. 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
33
nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after
a time.
34 Do not operate your heat gun whilst it
is hanging by the hanging hook.
35
A fire may arise if the appliance is not
used with care.
Do not place the nozzle against
36
anything while using or immediately
after use.
37 Do not poke anything down the
nozzle as it could give you an electric
shock.
