4. A heat gun plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
6. Do not expose a heat gun to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heat gunwill increase
the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
