• Always wear safety goggles. Safety
goggles reduce the risk of injury.
• Pull the plug out of the socket before
adjusting the tool settings, changing
accessories, or storing the heat gun. This
safety measure prevents the heat gun
from being started accidentally.
• Always check the heat gun, cable and
plug before use. Stop using the heat
gun if you discover any damage. Do not
open the heat gun yourself, and have
it repaired only by a quali�ed specialist
using only original replacement parts.
Damaged heat guns, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Keep your work area well-ventilated. The
gas and steam produced during work are
often harmful to one's health.
• Wear protective gloves and do not touch
the nozzle while it is hot. There is a risk of
burns.
• Do not direct the air�ow at persons or
animals.
• Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
The outgoing air�ow is considerably
hotter than that of a hair dryer.
• Do not allow foreign objects to enter the
heat gun.
• The distance between the nozzle and the
workpiece depends on the material you
are working on (metal, plastic, etc.) and
the intended working method. Always
test the amount of air and temperature
�rst.
• If operating the heat gun in a damp
environment is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD). Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Never use the heat gun if the cable is
damaged. Do not touch the damaged
cable and pull out the mains plug if
the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.

• Your product is �tted with an BS 1363/A
approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug
is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug �tted in its place by an authorised
customer service agent. The replacement
plug should have the same fuse rating as
the original plug. The severed plug must
be disposed of to avoid a possible shock
hazard and should never be inserted into
a mains socket elsewhere.
Use
A small amount of smoke can be emitted
when used for the �rst time. This is normal
and does not mean there is a defect.
Place the required nozzle (6-9) on the tip.
Switch on by pushing the on/off button (4) to
the desired position.
On position 1, the heat gun heats at 350 °C.
On position 2, the heat gun heats at 600 °C.
Point the tip or nozzle at the workpiece.
Examples of use are described below.
Avoid keeping the gun on the same spot
for too long, as extended exposure to heat
(especially when using the highest heat
setting) can damage or ignite the workpiece.
Switch off by pushing the on/off button
to position 0. Allow to cool for at least 30
minutes before putting it away.
Removing paint and lacquer, and softening
glue
Use the pointed nozzle (6) or the �at nozzle
(7).
Soften paint/lacquer using hot air and
remove it with a scraper or the triangular
scraper (10) provided.
