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!
