5.1
GENERAL HEATER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this heater. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate heaters in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Heater create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a heater. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
Heater plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) heaters. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose heaters to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heater will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the heater.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the heater outdoors, or on an extension cord.
Do not operate the heater in a damp location, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a heater. Do
not use a heater while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating heaters may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying heaters with your
finger on the switch or energising heaters that have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the heater in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Heater use and care
Do not force the heater. Use the correct heater for your application. The correct heater will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the heater if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any heater that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the heater before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing heaters.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the heater accidentally.
