TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
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 in a polarized plug 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.
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.
