USER MANUAL KX1800 BLACK & DECKER

This tool has been designed for various heating applications (e.g. paint stripping). This tool is intended for consumer use only.

General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (cored) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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 childre 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.

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

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 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 tools 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 a nd are easier to control.

ENGLISH

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

Electrical safety

This product must be earthed. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Extension cables & class 1 product

A 3 core cable must be used as your tool is earthed and of class 1 construction.
Up to 30m (100 ft) can be used without loss of power.

Voltage drops

Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment may be affected. For example, artificial lighting will show a temporary drop in magnitude when the machine is switched on. If the system impedance of the power supply is lower than 0.19 disturbances are unlikely to occur.

This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons without supervision. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Additional safety instructions for heatguns

Warning! This tool is not intended for use by young or infirm persons. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not touch the tool.
Warning! Always place the tool in the stand position when not in use.
A fire may result if the tool is not operated carefully, therefore always use the tool with care and attention.
Do not obstruct either the air intake slots or the nozzle outlet as this may cause excessive heat build up resulting in damage to the tool.
Be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustable materials.

Do not direct the hot air flow at other people or animals.
Do not touch the nozzle as it becomes very hot during use and remains hot for up to 30 minutes after use.
Do not place the nozzle against any object during 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 tool is switched on.
Do not use the tool as a hairdryer! The air temperature is far higher than a hairdryer.
Ensure adequate ventilation during use as toxic fumes may be produced.
Do not use the tool in a damp atmosphere.
Be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight. Spaces behind boards, ceilings and floors and wall cavities in timber frame constructed houses can contain flammable materials. Check before starting work.
Do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere; i.e. Do not use the tool where flammable gases, liquids or materials may be present.
- When stripping paint, ensure that the work area is enclosed. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for protection against lead paint dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected.
Do not burn paint. as it could cause a fire hazard.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle as it could ignite after some time.
Do not apply heat to the same place for a long time.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on or when cooling down.
Switch off he tool and allow it to cool before fitting any accessory.
Allow the tool to cool down fully before storing.

Stripping lead-based paint

Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint.

The peelings, residue and vapours of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may in the past have been painted with paint containing lead. This paint may be covered with additional layers of paint. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposures to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. Before starting work, it is important to determine whether the paint to be stripped contains lead. This can be done using a test kit or by a professional decorator. Do not smoke, eat or drink in a work area that could or may be contaminated by lead. Lead based paints should only be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a heatgun.

When the paint softens, remove the paint using a scraper. Scrape the softened paint immediately or it will harden again.
Scrape with the grain of the wood wherever possible.
Do not allow paint and debris collecting on the scraper.
- When scraping from a vertical position, scrape downwards to prevent the paint from falling back into the nozzle.
When stripping paint from a surface next to glass, take the necessary measures to protect the glass from the heat.
Warning! Do not attempt to strip paint from metal framed windows.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after use.

Cooling down

During use, the nozzle of the tool becomes extremely hot. After switching off, leave the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

Place the tool with the nozzle up on a surface where it cannot be tipped over.
To speed up the cooling time, run the tool on a low minimum temperature setting for a few minutes before switching off.

Maintenance

The tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactorily operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a clean, dry paint brush.

ENGLISH

To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
