

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the

operator an electric shock.



The nozzle of the heat gun becomes very hot during
operation and should not be touched until the tool has
cooled.

Always hold the tool by the insulated gripping

surface to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.



Heat guns produce very high temperatures and must
be used with caution to prevent combustible material
from igniting. Keep tool in constant motion; do not
stop or dwell in one spot.

Following this rule will reduce

the risk of fire or serious personal injury.



Excessive heat can generate fumes which may be
dangerous when inhaled. Wear a dust respirator mask
or dual filter respirator mask when using the heat gun.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.



Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher close at hand
for emergency use.

Following this rule will reduce the

risk of fire or serious injury.



Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or
cooling down. Always set tool on a flat, level surface
so nozzle tip is directed upwards, away from support-
ing surface, while running or cooling down.

Following

this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious injury.



Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.



Always wear eye protection marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1.

serious personal injury.



Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protectors during
extended periods of operation.



Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location.

Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.



Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center.

Following this rule will

reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.



Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
