5 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 accessories 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.
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 touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very hot during use and remains hot for up to
30 minutes after use.
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.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after some time.
A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore
- be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustible
materials;
- do not apply to the same place for a long time;
- do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
- be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight;
- place the appliance on its stand (vertical, nozzle pointing upwards) after use
and allow it to cool down before storage;
- do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.
6 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 children are 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 (only with POWXQ6110) and keep the
nozzle at least 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.
