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.
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.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Heat Guns
• Do not place your hand over the air vents or
block the vents in any way.
• The nozzle and accesories of this tool
become extremely hot during use. Let these
parts cool down before touching.
• Always switch the tool off 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.
• Do not use in a explosive atmosphere.
• Do not direct on the same place for a longer
time period.
• Do not use in a area of flammable materials.
• Heat may be conducted to combustible
materials that are out of sight. Do not use
in a damp atmosphere, where flammable
gases may be present or near combustible
materials.
• Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
• 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 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.

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
childrenare 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 leat
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.
