IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns,
do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least
3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and
keep them away from the sides and rear.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is
used by or near children or invalids and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.
4. Always unplug heater when not in use.
5. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord
or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater
to authorized service facility for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms,
laundry areas and similar indoor locations.
Never locate heater where it may fall into
a bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not
cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
coverings. Arrange cord away from traffic
area and where it will not be tripped over.
9. To disconnect heater, turn controls to
off, then remove plug from outlet.
10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any
ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
11. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or
exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces,
like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
12. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts
inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline,
paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
13. Use this heater only as described in this manual.
Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
14. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a risk
of fire. However, if you have to use an extension
cord, the cord shall be 16 AWG minimum
size and rated not less than 1,500 watts.
15. The output of this heater may vary and its
temperature may become intense enough to
burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not
recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity
to heat or an inability to react to avoid burns.
16. Heater service must be performed only
by an authorized service representative.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of fire or injury.
17. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the
Power Cord to carry this heater or pull the Plug
from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, or sharp edges. Replace damaged
Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power
Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
18. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power
source and allow the heater to thoroughly cool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing this heater. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of burns.
19. When servicing this heater, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
“Inspection, Maintenance, and Cleaning” section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
20. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
21. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from
the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service
facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
