4.3 HANDLING 8: STORAGE
— Care must be taken when handling this product.
e Dropping this power tool could have an effect on its accuracy and could also result in
personal injury. This product is not a toy and must be respected.
— Environmental conditions can have a detrimental effect on this product if neglected.
eo Exposure to damp air can gradually corrode components.
e If the product is unprotected from dust and debris, components will become clogged.
e If not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly, the machine will not perform at its best.
IMPORTANT: Please note this machine is fitted with a safety thermal overload protection. If the
product is used continuously too close to the work piece (i.e. misused) resulting in over heating
and the machine potentially catching fire, the thermal overload protection will be activated and
stop the heating element from operating within the machine. This will cause the gun to blow cool
air until the inner components of the heat gun have cooled sufficiently. This process takes
approximately 2 minutes. Repeat overloading will lead to permanent damage.
Remember the nozzle will remain hot for sometime - a safe storage location should be
used.
Store in a dry location out of the reach of children.
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the
user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood
this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural
light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative
effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all
cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work
area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and
from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they
are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is
not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool
failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become
entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous if
not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a dust
mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected
against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and
swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common
hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with the
machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if possible)
to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or
missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades sharp,
moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set,
load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have
been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and
take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If
the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When
using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in
use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess
current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if
you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling
tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe
to use.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUNS
NOTE: A FIRE COULD ARISE IF THIS HEAT GUN IS NOT USED WITH CARE.
— Do not use this heat gun as a hair dryer.
— Do not touch the hot metal nozzle.
— Allow the heat gun to cool down completely before storing.
— Do not direct the flow of hot air at persons or animals.
— Do not hold the metal nozzle too close to the work piece as the air flow will be restricted and may
cause the heat gun to overheat. Position the nozzle at least 25mm from the work surface.
— Use in a well ventilated area as poisonous or inflammable fumes or gases may be produced from
certain plastics, paints or similar materials.
— When working with or near easily combustible materials and inflammable gases, take special care.
(Do not apply heat to any one area for long periods of time).
— Heat my be conducted to combustible materials which are not visible from the work area.
— Do not look directly into the metal nozzle when the machine is switched on.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions for safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which
can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be
operated with caution!
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.4 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse
fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute
is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BSI Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI Y
The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced
before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement
must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent
connection to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class lI" and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.
tDouble insulated [=] : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
