Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
f.
Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-
approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-
approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
4.
Power tool use and care
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5.
Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b.
Double Insulation:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
Heat Gun Safety Warnings
1.
Hidden areas behind walls, ceilings, floors,
soffit boards, and other panels may contain
flammable materials that could be ignited by
the heat gun when working in these locations.
The ignition of these materials may not be readily
apparent and could result in property damage
and injury to persons. When working in these
locations, keep the heat gun moving in a back-
and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot
could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
2.
Extreme care should be taken when stripping
paint.
The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-
1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to
homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once
deposited on surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to
even low levels of lead can cause irreversible
brain and nervous system damage; young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you
should determine whether the paint you are removing
contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a
paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint
to be removed.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD
ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL
AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED BY USING
A HEAT GUN.
Before beginning a paint removal
process you should determine whether the paint
you are removing contains lead. This can be
done by your local health department or by a
professional who uses a paint analyzer to check
the lead content of the paint to be removed.
3.
Exercise CAUTION when using this product
outdoors.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
extension cord connection dry and off the ground.
4.
Persons removing paint should
follow these guidelines:
• Move the work piece outdoors. If this
is not possible, keep the work area well
ventilated. Open the windows and put an
exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan
is moving the air from inside to outside.
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture,
clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
