Page 2 WARNING Danger to life when opening the tool, as live compo- nents and connections ar exposed. Unplug the tool before opening it. Incorrect use of hot air blowers can cause fire and explosion hazard, especially near combustible materials and explosive gases. Do not touch the element housing and nozzle when they are hot as they can cause burns.
