2.2 Safety Instructions

Be extremely careful when stripping paint. Paints and thus paint waste may contain lead, which is poisonous. This is almost certain the case for paint manufactured before 1977. Hand to mouth contact with lead based paint or waste 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. When in doubt, have the paint analysed by a professional. LEAD BASED PAINT SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN. ONLY A PROFESSIONAL SHOULD HANDLE THESE PAINTS AND RESIDUES.

Hidden areas e.g. behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain inflammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun. The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons. Check the work area before using the heat gun. Keep the heat gun in motion during use to avoid local overheating resulting in damage or the work piece catching fire. Never leave a working heat gun unattended. Note that the heat gun has a thermal relay installed to prevent overheating. Always switch the heat gun off and unplug it from the mains when this thermal relay is activated, as deactivation of the thermal relay will resume normal heating operation. Never cover the air outlet or intake. Keep a fire extinguisher at hand at all times.PHG2

Do not use the heat gun near inflammable/combustible products or in explosive atmospheres. Note that heat might be conducted to combustible products that are out-of-sight. Only use the gun in properly ventilated rooms. Note that heating up certain plastics or varnishes may produce combustible gasses.

Keep this device away from children and unauthorized users. This heat gun is NOT intended for persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities and/or with lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under supervision and instructed by a person responsible for their safety. This is not a toy. Keep children away from the working area at all times

Do not touch the hot air outlet or nozzle as this can cause serious burns. Always let the device cool down after use and before storage. Incorrect use may cause fire. Use an appropriate tool to replace hot nozzles and place the hot nozzle on a fireproof surface. Only use original nozzles and make sure they are mounted firmly on the air outlet.

Do not inhale released fumes. Heating up certain plastics or varnishes may produce toxic gas. Wear an appropriate protective mask while removing paint. Note that paper masks are not adequate. Keep the working area well ventilated at all times.

The hot air coming from the nozzle can cause damage and serious injuries. Never point the air outlet towards persons or animals. Never use the heat gun to heat up liquids or as a dryer e.g. for hair or clothing. Always use the appropriate nozzle.

Keep food and drink out of the working area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke in the working area.

Always disconnect mains power when the device is not in use or when maintenance activities are performed. Handle the power cord by the plug only. Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage. Have an authorised dealer replace it if necessary. Never point the nozzle towards the power cable or mains outlet.
