Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUNS BEFORE USE: Check the functioning of the tool before each use and, in case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a qualified person; never open the tool yourself Inspect tool cord and plug before each use and, if damaged, have them replaced by a qualified person Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U. K. 13 Amps) Inspect the extension cord periodically and replace it, if damaged Use the tool and its accessories in accordance with this instruction manual and in the manner intended for the tool; use of the tool for operations, different from those normally expected to be performed by the tool, could result in a hazardous situation This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the tool by a person responsible for their safety Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool Be sure tool is switched off when plugging in DURING USE: Handle the tool with care; prevent fire and burns - do not touch the air outlet/nozzle and the heated object; they become extremely hot - do not hold the air outlet/nozzle too close to the object to be worked on - do not direct the hot air flow towards the same surface for too long - never look down the air outlet/nozzle - wear protective gloves and use safety glasses - never direct the hot air flow towards persons or animals - never use the tool for drying hair - do not leave the tool unattended - never use the tool in the proximity of inflammable gases or combustible materials (risk of explosion) - when working with plastic, paint, varnish and similar materials, inflammable and poisonous gases may be produced; inform yourself beforehand about the materials to be worked on - take into account, that heat may be transferred to combustible materials out of eyesight - to be on the safe side, have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher handy, in case any material catches fire Prevent electrical shock - never poke anything down the air outlet/nozzle - avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e. g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators) - ensure the tool does not get wet - do not use the tool in damp locations - when used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a splashproof coupling-socket Handle the cord with care - always keep away the cord from the hot air flow and the air outlet/nozzle - keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges - do not carry the tool by the cord, and do not yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket - do not suspend the tool by the cord Never use the tool in conjunction with chemical solvents Make sure work area is adequately ventilated Keep work area clean and well lit Keep children away from work area Ensure that children do not play with the tool Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment may be affected (if the system impedance of the power supply is lower than 0, 127 + j0, 079 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely to occur); if you need further clarification, you may contact your local power supply authority Stay alert; watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired Take a secure stance; do not overreach, especially on ladders and stages 6 Ensure that the tool is switched off, before putting it aside In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug AFTER USE: Switch off the tool and disconnect the plug Allow the tool to cool down for at least 30 minutes before storage Suspend the tool on hanging ring D 2 or set it down on its rear in an upright position; when doing so, make sure no combustible materials or inflammable gases are in the proximity Do not store/leave the tool outdoors Store the tool in a dry and locked-up place, out of reach of children USE On/off switch with 3 temperature settings 4 !check if switch A 2 is in position "0" before plugging in - switch on the tool by pushing switch A in desired position: 1 = 50C, air flow 250 litres/minute 2 = 400C, air flow 250 litres/minute 3 = 570C, air flow 500 litres/minute - when using it for the first time, some smoke may emit from the tool; this is normal and will soon cease - switch off the tool by pushing switch A in position "0" General use - determine the right temperature by testing out on an inconspicuous part of the workpiece; start with a low temperature setting - the temperature falls as the distance between the air outlet/nozzle and the workpiece increases - the temperature required depends on the material to be worked on Stationary use 5 - set the tool down on its rear in an upright position - make sure the surface is clean and dustfree; polluted air damages the motor - make sure the air flow is directed away from you - secure the cord to prevent pulling down the tool - do not touch the air outlet/nozzle - make sure nothing drops into the air outlet/nozzle - carefully hold the tool with one hand while switching it off with the other hand, and then allow it to cool down Use at hard-to-reach places - remove ring B 2, thus releasing the metal air outlet over a greater distance !exposure to even low levels of lead can cause serious brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable !have lead-based paint removed by a professional without using a heatgun OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE: removing (synthetic) wall covering Removing paint/lacquer next to glass 9 - always use glass protection nozzle F when working next to glass - remove the paint with a hand scraper !do not use the tool for removing paint on metalframed windows; metal is heat-conducting which might lead to breaking of the glass 7 Removing stickers (use flat nozzle G) 0 - many adhesives become softer when heated, allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous adhesive to be removed !always take care not to overheat the underlying surface OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: removing linoleum and vinyl carpeting removing carpet tiles made of synthetic fibres removing veneers/applying veneer strips softening/melting tar, tin, bitumen, wax (use flat nozzle G) waxing (skis, furniture) (use flat nozzle G) ! removing resin loosening rusty/too tightly fastened metal screws, nuts and bolts removing candle wax (do not overheat the underlying surface) repairing broken candles/restoring bent candles to their original shape Shrink fitting @ - use reflector nozzle H or reduction nozzle J - select a shrink-fit tube with a diameter matching that of the workpiece - heat the shrink-fit tube evenly OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLE: shrink-wrapping Soldering water pipes # This tool is most suitable for working with soft solders (melting point below 400) - use reflector nozzle H - thoroughly clean both joining sections before soldering - pre-heat both sections and apply soldering wire (do not use lead-based soldering wire) Thawing out frozen water pipes $ - use reflector nozzle H - heat the frozen area evenly !do no thaw out water pipes made of PVC !water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes; heating gas pipes is extremely dangerous risk of explosion OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: thawing out frozen car locks (use reduction nozzle J) defrosting freezers (do not damage the plastic housing) thawing out ice-covered steps and pavements Shaping plastic tubes - use reflector nozzle H - fill the tube with sand and seal it at both ends, to avoid kinking of the tube - heat the tube evenly by moving it from side to side OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: shaping all plastics with a low melting-point (polyethylene, PVC etc. ) shaping all plastics with a high melting-point (acrylic glass, Plexiglas etc. ) shaping and bending carpet tiles made of synthetic fibres shaping and bending of wood (model-building) Welding plastics - the weld seam must be clean and grease-free - keep welding rod close to weld seam and apply heat, until the welding rod gets tacky - remove heat, when weld seam is filled up OTHER APPLICATION EXAMPLES: repairing of surfboards, skis and other synthetic sports goods (use flat nozzle G) welding PVC-materials smoothening blisters after sticking PVC-labels connecting garden hoses (use reflector nozzle H) Drying !only dry with a low or medium temperature setting (position 1 or 2) and with an increased distance between the tool and the workpiece - drying of paint, varnish, gypsum, mortar and plaster - drying wet timber prior to filling - drying thickly applied filler or adhesive quickly - drying building joints before spraying insulation or sealant - drying joints and cracks in boatbuilding Cleaning/disinfecting - disinfecting rabbit hutches, dove cotes, etc. (remove your pet first) - combatting ant colonies - combatting woodworms and boring beetles (hold the tool at an adequate distance from the wood) - eliminating weeds MAINTENANCE / SERVICE Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the ventilation slots E 2) !disconnect the plug before cleaning Never use easy inflammable liquids for cleaning the heat gun in general and the air outlet/nozzle in particular If the tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools - send the tool undismantled together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service station (addresses as well as the service diagram of the tool are listed on www. skileurope. com) ENVIRONMENT Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol % will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs 8 GB CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in conformity with the following standards or standardized documents: EN 60 335, EN 61000-3, EN 55 014, in accordance with the provisions of the directives 2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC.
