1. General safety information

Warning
Danger to life. Before opening the device, pull the power plug out of the socket, because voltage-
bearing components and connections will be exposed when it is opened.
Danger of fire and explosion. Never use the hot-air welder in explosive or readily inflammable
surroundings. Maintain sufficient distance from combustible materials or explosive gases at all times.
Danger of burns
Do not touch the heating element tube, nozzle and linoleum flap when hot. The device should always
be allowed to cool down first.
Do not point the hot-air flow at people or animals.
Caution
Connect the device to an outlet with a protective conductor. Any interruption of the protective conductor
inside or outside of the device is dangerous.
Only use extension cables with protective conductors.
The local supply voltage must match the nominal voltage specified on the device. If the line voltage
fails, then the main switch and the drive must be switched off (extend hot-air blower).
If the device is being used on construction sites, a fault current circuit breaker must be used to
protect site personnel.
The device must be monitored continuously during operation. Waste heat can come into contact
with flammable materials that are not in view.
The device may be operated only by trained specialists or under their supervision. Children are not
permitted to operate the device.
Protect the device from moisture and wet conditions.
