GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

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

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized

outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the

three wire grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Do not use near standing water. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your

finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT

eye protection.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance

instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES – HEAT GUNS

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with the product, gained from repeated use,

replace strict adherence to heat gun safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,

you can suffer serious personal injury and/or cause serious property damage.

Do not direct the heat gun airflow at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair

dryer. Heat guns can generate temperatures of 750°F or more of flameless heat. Contact with the

nozzle or air stream may cause serious burns.

Inspect and know your work area. Check your work area for hidden spaces before applying heat

(behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffits and other panels) that may contain flammable materials which

may ignite when using the heat gun. It may not be readily apparent if these materials ignite and could

result in serious personal injury and property damage. Avoid excessive heating which may ignite the

work area or material behind it by continuous movement of the heat gun over the work area.

Keep a fire extinguisher near the work area. Heat guns are capable of igniting flammable

materials in or around the work area.

Do not use near flammable liquids or in explosive atmospheres containing fumes, gases, or

dust. Flameless heat from the heat gun may ignite the dust or fumes. All materials or debris that

may be ignited should be removed from the work area.

Shield materials around the heated work area to prevent property damage or fire.

Always hold the heat gun by its handle. Do not touch the nozzle, accessory tips, allow them

to contact flammable material or store the heat gun until the nozzle has cooled to room

temperature. The metal nozzle may require 20 minutes or more to cool adequately before it can be

touched. Contacting the heated nozzle or accessory tips can cause personal injury. While cooling,

the heat gun should be placed in a clear area away from combustible materials while cooling to

prevent flammable materials from igniting.

When not hand held, place the heat gun on a stable, level surface using non-combustible

support pads or support stand so the nozzle is directed upwards, away from the supporting

surface. The cord should be positioned so that it won’t cause the heat gun to fall over or contact the

hot nozzle.

Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or while cooling down.

Do not cut off airflow from the heat gun by placing nozzle too close to the workpiece. Do not

obstruct airflow through the intake vents. Restricting heat gun airflow may cause overheating.

Store indoors in a dry, high location out of reach by children and untrained persons. Do not

expose the stored heat gun to moisture. Heat guns are dangerous in the hands of untrained persons.

Do not use the heat gun in rain, moisture or submerge in water. Exposing the heat gun element

to water or other liquids may cause an electrical shock hazard.

Do not direct heat gun airflow onto glass; the glass may crack resulting in property damage

or personal injury..

PAINT STRIPPING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Use extreme care when stripping paint. Peelings, residue and vapors

of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint
