3. DO NOT use the tool if the power switch does not turn
it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

WARNING
: Double-insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit only one way in a polarized plug. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. DO NOT change the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
WARNING
: POISON HAZARD: Extreme care must be
taken when using a Heat Gun to strip paint. The softened
paint, residue and vapors of the paint may contain lead
which is poisonous. Any paint used in the construction
industry prior to 1977 may contain lead. Once paint is
applied to the surface, hand-to-mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Breathing the vapor resulting
from the heating process or dust from a sanding process
may also result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to any
amount of lead can cause irreversible damage to the
brain and nervous system. Young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.
NOTE
: Before starting any paint removal process, you
should determine if the paint you are removing contains
lead. Your local health authority or a professional who
uses a paint analyzer can determine the level of lead
contained in the paint to be removed. Lead-based paint
must only be removed by a professional and must not be
removed using a Heat Gun.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Move the workpiece outdoors whenever possible. If
this is not practical, keep the work area well ventilated.
Open all windows. Place an exhaust fan in one window,
making sure it is moving the air from inside the work
area to the outdoors.
2. Remove all cooking utensils and food from the work area.
3. Remove all carpets, rugs and furniture from the work
area where practical. If removal is not practical, move
furniture to the middle of the room and cover them with
a plastic drop cloth.
4. Seal off work areas from the rest of the dwelling by
sealing off doorways with drop cloths.
5. Cover all air ducts.
6. Place a drop cloth in the work area to catch paint chips
or peelings.
7. Wear protective clothing to reduce the amount of
exposed skin.
8. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women, and
nursing mothers should not be present in the work area
until the work and cleanup have been completed.
9. Use a respirator mask for dust and fumes which has
been approved by “OSHA” or “NIOSH”. These masks
and replaceable filters are available at most major
hardware stores. Make sure the mask fits properly.
Beards and facial hair may prevent the mask from
fitting properly. Change filters often. Disposable paper
dust masks are NOT adequate for protecting against
inhaling lead fumes.
10. Keep the Heat Gun moving while heating the paint.
Excessive heat will generate increased amounts of
fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.
11. Keep food and drinks out of the work area. Always
wash hands, arms, and face, and rinse mouth with
water before eating or drinking. Never smoke or chew
gum or tobacco in the work area.
