When operating a heating appliance with an
extension cord while outdoors, use only
extension cords marked W–A or W.
These
cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use COMMON SENSE when operating a
heating appliance.
A moment of inattention
or use of drugs, alcohol or medication while
operating a heating appliance can be
dangerous.
Use safety equipment. Always wear safety
goggles.
Dust mask, protective gloves,
safety shoes or non-skid shoes, must be
used for appropriate conditions.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is “OFF” before plugging in.
Carrying the
heating appliance with your finger on the
switch or plugging in the heating appliance
that has switch “ON” invites accidents.
Do not direct hot tip or nozzle toward
clothing, hands or other body parts.
Intense heat from tip or nozzle can cause
serious burns or cause clothing to ignite.
Do not touch nozzle or shield until
completely cool.
During use very high
temperatures are generated in these areas.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, body, clothing and gloves
away from nozzle or shield.
Clothing or hair
could ignite from extreme heat.
Do not overreach, keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the heating
appliance in unexpected situations.
Tool Use and Care
Do not use heating appliance if switch
does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.
Any tool
which cannot be controlled by the switch is
dangerous.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments or
changing accessories.
Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the heating appliance accidentally.
Store idle heating appliance only after
adequate cooling period, indoors in high,
dry place out of the reach of children and
untrained persons.
Heating appliances are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
persons.
Do not leave heating appliance
unattended while it is running or cooling
down.
Always set tool on a flat, level surface
so that nozzle tip is directed upwards, away
from supporting surface while running or
cooling down.
Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher
close at hand for emergency use.
Service
Heating appliance service must be
performed only by qualified repair
personnel.
Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may
result in misplacing internal wiring and
components which could cause serious
hazard.
Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation
is a design concept used
in electric power tools which eliminates the
need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system. It is a
recognized and approved system by
Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal
OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT:
Servicing of a tool with double
insulation requires care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a
qualified service technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Double Insulated heating appliances are equip-
ped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. 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.
