Additional safety instructions for heatguns
General
Do not place your hand over the air vents or
block the vents in any way.
The nozzle of this tool becomes extremely hot
during use. Let it cool down before touching.
Always switch the tool off and allow it to cool
before putting it down.
Do not leave the tool unattended while it is
switched on.
A fire may arise if the appliance is not used
with care.
Be careful when using the tool in places where
there are combustible materials. Do not apply
to the same place for a long time. Heat may be
conducted to combustible materials which are
out of sight.
Do not use the tool in an explosive atmosphere.
Place the tool on its stand after use and allow it
to cool before storage.
Do not leave the tool unattended when in use.
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes
may be produced.
Do not use as a hairdryer.
Do not obstruct either the air intake or nozzle
outlet, as this may cause excessive heat build
up resulting in damage to the tool.
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
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 place the nozzle against anything while
using or immediately after use.
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could
give you an electric shock. 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 nozzle or
scraper as it could ignite after some time.
Removing paint
Do not use this tool to remove paint
containing lead. The peelings, residue and
vapours of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may have
been painted in the past with paint containing
lead and covered with additional layers of
paint. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to
mouth contact can result in the ingestion of
lead. Exposure even to low levels of lead can
cause irreversible damage to the brain and
nervous system. Young and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure that the work
area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper
provided and keep the nozzle at least 25 mm
away from the painted surface. When working
in a vertical direction, work downwards to
prevent paint from falling into the tool and
burning.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure
that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
