POWER TOOL SAFETY
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive
environments, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while
operating the tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized plug only one way.
2. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three-prong grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
7. When not in use, disconnect from the power
source and store in a safe, dry childproof location.
8. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use the tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
3. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
4. Wear approved safety eye/face shield, ear
defenders and hand protection.
5. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
6. DO NOT disassemble the Heat Gun. Take it to a
qualified professional when service or repair
is required.
7. DO NOT use this Heat Gun for tasks it is not
designed to perform.
WARNING
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the tool.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
WARNING
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories or
storing the tool.
• To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage
to the Heat Gun, use proper circuit protection.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
NOTE: If air flow is blocked to nozzle, causing
overheating, the gun will turn off and come back on
when it has cooled. DO NOT leave gun unattended
when it has stopped, since it will restart and could
cause fire or injury.
