GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• When working with any type of heat or open flame, always keep a fire extinguisher close by.
• Always were safety glasses and gloves (flame retardant or leather is suggested)
when shrink wrapping. Never obstruct or cover the air inlet at the back of the heat tool.
If the air flow is reduced the heat tool will not work properly.
• When shrink wrapping outdoors, do not shrink wrap when the wind is stronger than 16 kph.
• When shrink wrapping indoors, make sure the work area is well ventilated.
• Keep the work area clear of debris, wood shavings, paper products, flammable
chemicals and anything else that may catch fire from the heat of the tool.
• Do not wear loose clothing while shrink wrapping and also keep long hair tied back.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the heat
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the heat tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the heat tool in unexpected situations.
• Never operate the heat tool with the combustor nozzle hard up against a surface;
this could ignite any material you are shrink wrapping.
• Do not place the combustor nozzle (
where the flame comes out of the heat tool
)
next to anything while it is hot. Never allow the combustor nozzle to come in
contact with clothing or skin.
