WORK AREA

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

areas may cause accidents or injury.

Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, 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 cord and 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.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W­A” or “W.”These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.

NOTE provides additional information that is useful
for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s 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 create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.

SERVICE

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

maintenance 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 shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR HEAT GUNS

This heat gun produces temperatures high enough to ignite combustible
material. DO NOT use around flammable liquids and gases or easily com-

bustible matter such as leaves, paper or dry grass.
NEVER use this heat gun as a hair dryer.
This heat gun can cause severe burns and/or poisoning from exposure to toxic

fumes if not used properly. Read all safety instructions before use.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Always disconnect the heat gun when not in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Store in a dry location.

• Make sure the work area is clean and free from clutter.

• Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. If using a
ladder, make sure it is stable and set up on a sturdy surface. Overreaching while
on a ladder can lead to dangerous falls.

• Stay away from power lines.

• Secure small work pieces before using heat gun to prevent accidental slippage.

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 power tool “ON”.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power 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 power 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.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways 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 tool. Use the 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 the tool if the power 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 power cord 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 a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
