Preparing The Device For Use - Parkside PHLG 2000 SE Operation And Safety Notes

Avoid the danger of death
by electric shock:
J
You should check the condition of the
device, mains lead and mains plug at
regular intervals.
Devices with damaged parts must not be used.
The device should never be opened. Damaged
devices, mains leads or mains plugs may cause
death by electric shock. Repair or replacement
work should only be carried out by the service
centre or a qualified electrician.
J
Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes
damaged or cut through while you are using
the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket
immediately and have the device repaired by a
suitably qualified person or at your service centre.
J
Do not operate the device if it is damp
and do not use it in a damp environment.
J
If you use the device outdoors, always connect it
through a residual current device with a maximum
trip current of 30 mA.
If using an extension lead always use one that is
approved for outdoor use.
J
Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.
To avoid the danger of injury,
burning and dangers to your health:
J
Never use the device as a hairdryer.
J
Do not direct the hot air flow at persons
or animals.
J
Do not look directly into the opening of the hot
air nozzle .
E
J
Danger of burns! Do not touch
the hot nozzle. Wear protective gloves.
J
Wear protective glasses.
J
In addition, you should never leave the device
working unattended.
J
Bear in mind the high rate of heat
generation.
If the device is not used carefully,
it can give rise to increased
risk of fire or explosion.
J
Do not work in the vicinity of easily ignitable
gases or materials.
Heating of plastics, paints, varnishes etc.
can lead to the creation of gases that are
hazardous to health. Make sure you always
have adequate ventilation.
J
Let the device cool down completely before
you put it into storage. Always place your
heat gun down on its end, with the nozzle
pointing upwards (see Fig. D).
Handling the device correctly:
J
If danger arises, pull the mains plug immediately
out of the mains socket.
J
Never use the device for a purpose for which
it was not intended.
J
When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the nozzle) or when you are not using
the device, always pull the mains plug out of the
mains socket.
J
Do not direct the device at the same spot for too
long a period.
J
Do not hold the nozzle outlet too close to the
workpiece or the surface on which you are
working. If the airflow is constricted it can lead
to overheating of the device.
J
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of
oil or grease.
J
Be aware of areas other than the one you are
directly working on. The heat can reach
inflammable materials that may be outside your
field of view.

Remain alert at all times! Always watch what
you are doing and proceed with caution. Do not
use the device if you cannot concentrate or you
are feeling unwell.
