General safety rules
WARNING. Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer
recommends the use of a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less at
all times.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
5
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

accumulation and damage the heat gun. Use only
original nozzles that are suitable for this heat gun.
Using the heat gun on its stand
The rear of the body of the heat
gun, and the rear of the lower
section of its handle, are designed
to be used as a standing base.
When in use the nozzle of the
heat gun points vertically upward.
For stationary type operation it is
suggested to use in this position.
Furthermore, for the cool down
process, it is again suggested to use this position.
When the heat gun is placed down during breaks in the
heating operation, the heat gun should always be placed on
its stand, and NOT laying on its side or nose down.
To operate the heat gun on its stand, select the desired heat
setting and fan setting. Turn the heat gun on its end so it
sits on the rear of the housing.
NOTE: Ensure the air intake vents are clear of debris and
the air intake is not restricted.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when stripping
paint. The peelings, residue and vapours of paint may
contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may
contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1995 is
likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to
mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure
to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage; young and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any paint
removal process you should determine whether the paint
you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your
local health department or by a professional who uses a
paint analyser to check the lead content of the paint to
be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE
REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT
BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.
Persons removing paint should follow these
guidelines:
1. Move the work piece outdoors, if this is not possible,
keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows
and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is
moving the air from inside to outside.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing,
cooking utensils and air ducts.
3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint
chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra
work shirts, overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be
removed or placed in the centre of the room and covered.
Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the
dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and
nursing mothers should not be present in the work area
unit the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6. Wear dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and
fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the
Occupational Safely and Health Administration (OSHA),
the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or
the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and
replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware
stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may
keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat
gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which
can be inhaled by the operator.
8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands,
arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking.
Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
9. Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping
the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and
any other surface where paint or dust is clinging. DO
NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high
phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to
wash and mop areas.
10. At the end of each work session put the paint chips and
debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist
ties and dispose of properly.
11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work
area to avoid carrying dust into the rest to the dwelling.
Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a
wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash
hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
13
