I. Safety Rules for Using the Inductor® Mini-Ductor®
Venom™

A. General Work Area Safety Rules

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal
injury.

Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.

Keep bystanders, children, visitors and animals away while
operating the Mini-Ductor® Venom™. These beings may create

distractions that cause you to lose control of the Mini-Ductor®
Venom™.

Work outdoors, if there is no danger of rain, water or moisture. If
this is not possible, keep the inside work area well ventilated and dry. Be
sure that ventilation fans are moving air from the inside to the outside.

Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher at hand at all times when
using the Mini-Ductor® Venom™.

B. Personal Safety Rules

Do not operate the Mini-Ductor® Venom™, and stay at least three
feet away from an operating Mini-Ductor® Venom™, if you have a
cardiac pacemaker or any other kind of electronic or metal surgical
implant. Although the magnetic fields emanating from the tools travel

only a few inches, they pose a dangerous risk to the proper operation of
all implanted medical electronic devices in the user and any bystanders.
Thus, it is necessary that people with electronic or metallic medical
implants do NOT use the Mini-Ductor® Venom™ or come within three
feet of it when it is in use in case an accident should occur and the tool
in use is inadvertently and unexpectedly brought near the person with
the implant.

Do not operate the Mini-Ductor® Venom™ while wearing any
metallic items such as jewelry, rings, watches, chains, identification
tags, religious medals, belt buckles, body piercing hardware, etc.

The Mini-Ductor® Venom™ can heat these metallic objects very
quickly and cause serious burns or even ignite clothing.

Do not operate the Mini-Ductor® Venom™ while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

Do not overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the Mini-Ductor®
Venom™ in unexpected situations.

Do not use the Mini-Ductor® Venom™ within 4 inches of any
airbag component. The heat created from the Mini-Ductor® Venom™

can ignite the air bag propellant, causing it to explode without warning.
Refer to the vehicles service manual for precise airbag location before
operating.

Remove all loose coins, metallic tokens, keys, chains, pocket
knives, miniature tools, or any other metallic object in or on your
clothing before operating the Mini-Ductor® Venom™. Do not

replace these items until you are finished using the Mini-Ductor®
Venom™. The Mini-Ductor® Venom™ can heat these metallic
objects very quickly and cause serious burns or even ignite clothing.

Do not wear clothing that is made with metallic pocket rivets,
waist band buttons, pocket buttons, and zippers when operating
the Mini-Ductor® Venom™. The Mini-Ductor® Venom™ can heat

such metallic items very quickly and cause serious burns or even
ignite clothing.

Always wear safety goggles when using the Mini­Ductor® Venom™.

Fumes and smoke from hot/burning adhesives are toxic. Wear a
dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been
approved by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and
Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These

masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major
hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may
keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

Wear heat-resistant gloves when using the Mini-Ductor®
Venom™. The Mini-Ductor® Venom™ heats metal very quickly.

You can burn your hands and fingers when trying to remove parts
from hot metal surfaces.
