Heat Gun Safety Warnings - RIDGID R860434 Manuel D'utilisation

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
 Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

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.
 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.
Never direct the nozzle tip towards people, pets, or
the supporting surface while running or cooling down.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious
injury.
 Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk
of injury.
 Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.
 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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 battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service provider.
 Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. 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.
 Do not start or operate while filling.
 Do not use this torch to heat, mold or bend plastic sheets,
moulding or tubing.
 Do not smoke while filling the tank with butane.
WARNING:
This heat gun generates extremely high
temperatures. Hidden areas such as 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 torch moving in a back-and-forth motion.
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the
panel or the material behind it.
