HEAT GUN SAFETY WARNINGS

When using heat guns, basic safety precautions should
always be followed:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
 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.
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
 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.
 Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service provider.
 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.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
 Before using, check all parts for proper function and
damage to component parts.
