5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL HEATER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
1. Work area safety
− Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
− Do not operate heaters in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Heaters create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
− Keep children and bystanders away while operating a heater. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
− Heaters plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) heaters. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
− Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
− Do not expose heaters to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heater will increase the risk
of electric shock.
− Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the heater. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
− When operating a heater outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
− If operating a heater in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Do not use a heater while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating heaters may result in serious personal injury.

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
− Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source.
− Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the heater on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the heater may result in personal injury.
− Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can get sucked into the in
moving parts of the heater.

− Use the correct heater for your application. The correct heater will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
− Do not use the heater if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any heater that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
− Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments. Such preventive
