The term power tool used in the safety information refers to power tools that operate on mains power (with power cord) and battery-powered power tools (without power cord).

Workplace safety - Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clutter or unlit work areas can lead to accidents. - Do not work with the power tool in a potentially explosive environment containing flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapours. - Keep children and other persons away from the power tool throughout its use. If distracted, you may lose control of the device.

Electrical safety - Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool increases the risk of electric shock. - Do not use the cord to carry or hang the power tool or to unplug the power tool from the wall outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.Original User Manual FUXTEC 20V cordless heat gun FX-E1HLP20

- If you use a power tool outdoors, only use extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety - Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use common sense when working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness while using a power tool can cause serious injury. - Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or ear protection, depending on the after type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk of injury. - Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that the power tool is turned off before connecting it to the power supply and/or battery, picking it up or carrying it. If you lift your finger while carrying the power tool on the switch or connect the device to the power supply when switched on, this can lead to accidents. - Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is in a rotating part of the unit may cause injury. - Avoid abnormal posture. Maintain a safe standing position and balance at all times. This allows you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations. - Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught by moving parts.

Use and handling of the power tool - Do not overload the device. Be sure to use the designated power tool for your work. With the right power tool, you will work better and safer in the specified power range. - Do not use a power tool whose switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired. - Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making adjustments to the device, changing accessories or putting the device away. This precaution prevents the power tool from starting accidentally. - Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not have the device used by persons who are not familiar with it or have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced persons. - Take care of power tools properly.

damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. - Be sure to use power tools, accessories, insert tools, etc. according to these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the task to be performed. The use of power tools for applications other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations. Use and handling of the cordless tool - Charge the batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger that is suitable for a particular type of battery creates a fire hazard when used with other batteries. - Only use the rechargeable batteries in power tools that are designed for this purpose. Use of other batteries may cause injury and fire. - Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to bridge. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire. - Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or cause burns.

Use The tool is switched on and off at the two-stage switch on the front of the handle. Please keep the switch pressed to activate the heating stage (2). As soon as you no longer hold down this setting, the switch changes directly to position 1 (= cold air). The distance to the object you are working on depends on the material and the intended working method. Always test the air flow and temperature on a test piece first. With the attachable accessory nozzles, the hot air flow can be controlled with highest precision. A small amount of smoke may be produced the first time the unit is used. Switch off the unit with the switch position "0". Be careful when changing the hot air nozzles! When you set up the hot-air generator, make sure that it is standing on a stable, non-slip and clean surface and let it cool down completely before changing the nozzles! Additional nozzles: - Air reduction nozzle (a): Reinforced, punctual heat for corners, plexiglass bending and soldering. - Hook nozzle (b): ambient heat for welding thin pipes, soft-soldering of copper tubes, tube forming and shrinking of heat shrinkable tubing. - Fan nozzle (c): Aligns heat over a wide area. Can be used for the removal of paint, floor coverings and vinyl surfaces or for drying. Important: When using the additional attachments, it is absolutely necessary that they are firmly attached. If this is not done, the heated air can be returned to the unit and the unit can be damaged. Therefore, please make sure that the attachments are fitted correctly (see following pictures).

The work lamp lights up when the tool is switched on. In addition to illuminating the area to be machined, it also serves as a "tool ON" indicator light.Original User Manual FUXTEC 20V cordless heat gun FX-E1HLP20
