HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
This Heat Gun produces extremely high temperatures (as high as
600°C). It must be used with caution to prevent combustible material
from igniting.
PREVENTION:
• Keep the Heat Gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one
spot.
• Use extreme caution if the
other side of the material
being scraped is inaccessible,
such as house siding. The
hidden side could catch on
fire if it becomes too hot.
Some buildings contain highly
flammable materials behind
siding walls, floors, facia, soffit
boards and other panels.
Check these areas before
applying heat and do not use a heat tool if flammable materials are
present or if you are unsure of the hidden material.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or flashing.
Heat may be conducted behind the work surface and ignite hidden
material. The ignition of hidden materials may not be readily
apparent and can result in property damage and injury.
• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, and
paper which can scorch and catch fire.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the Heat Gun on flammable
surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after switching the
gun off. Always set the gun on a flat, level surface so that the nozzle
tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
• Do not use the Heat Gun as a hair dryer.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work
gloves and eye protection when scraping.
• Always treat the Heat Gun with the same respect as an open flame.
• Do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere.

HAZARD: ELECTRIC
May cause property damage, severe injury or loss of life.
PREVENTION:
• Do not disassemble the Heat Gun.
• Do not work in wet areas or expose the Heat Gun to rain or moisture.
• Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, aluminium
ladders or other grounded devices.
• Do not abuse the cordset. Never carry the Heat Gun by the cordset or
yank on the cordset to disconnect it from the power supply. Keep the
cordset away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Inspect the cordset for
wear or damage regularly.
• If an extension cord is damaged or otherwise unsuitable for use,
replace it with a new extension cord.
HAZARD: GENERAL
May cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Always disconnect the Heat Gun from the power supply when not in
use. Store indoors in a dry place and out of the reach of unsupervised
children.
• Keep your work area well lit and clean.
• Do not overreach, especially when working on ladders. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. Be certain any ladders being used are
sturdy, stable, on firm ground and erected at safe working angles.
• Avoid power lines.
• Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
• Always use protective eyewear when working.
• Stay alert and use common sense when operating any tool.
• Never use to thaw frozen pipes located inside walls or near
combustibles. Always use reflector nozzle (P/N2366225) to thaw
frozen pipes.
• Do not leave the heat gun unattended while it is switched on.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play
