User manual RYOBI SERVISTAR-365SSR

[. . . ] As the heat gun has maximum temperature protection function, when it reaches the maximum temperature (about 650 ºC), the 6 LED (LCD indicator) may flash intermittently, this is normal and it doesn't mean there is a problem. The heat from the heat gun may reach combustible materials which you may not be able to see. Keep the heat gun away from rain or water to avoid risks of fire or electric shock. When servicing, always use manufacture's original parts to replace worn or damaged parts. [. . . ] Ensure that the nozzle does not come into contact with materials during or just after operation. When using the heat gun, do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewellery, wear non-slip footwear and a hair net to protect and retain hair. Ensure that the heat gun is always clean, dry and free from oil or grease. Never force the tool or accessories, and only use them for the purpose for which they are designed. Never use the heat gun in a damp or very wet (for example: bathrooms, saunas). If the heat gun stops while it is in use, disconnect it from the power supply and have it serviced by authorised service center. WARNING Always concentrate on the job and use common sense when working with this or any other tools. Do not use this tool when you are tired or taking medication that may make you drowsy. Heat guns have a safety cut-off which will stop the heat gun if you are working too close to the surface being stripped. If the cut-off operates, the hot air gun must be allowed to cool for about 30 minutes before it can be used again. Clean the scraper blade frequently to keep it clean and sharp and to prevent a build-up of paint on the scraper. You can strip moulded surfaces with a wire brush after softening the paint with the hot air. Protect surfaces that should not be heated using nonflammable material. Avoid directing the heat from the heat gun onto windows or other glass surfaces. NB: The heat gun is designed to strip both oil and water based paints and varnishes. The heat gun cannot remove wood stains or primers impregnating the wood. This is particularly useful when the colour is being changed and several coats of paint or varnish are necessary. Keep the air intake and hot air nozzle clean and free of dust and debris. Use only a damp cloth and ordinary household cleaners for cleaning the heat gun. Do not use white spirit, thinners, petrol or other similar chemicals to clean the hot air gun. [. . . ] Do not use white spirit, thinners, petrol or other similar chemicals to clean the hot air gun.
