Heat Gun Safety Warnings

Hidden areas behind walls,1.

ceilings, oors, soft boards,

and other panels may contain

ammable 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 heat gun moving

in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering

or pausing in one spot could ignite

the panel or the material behind it.

Extreme care should be taken 2.

when stripping paint. The peelings,

residue and vapors of paint may

contain lead, which is poisonous.

Any pre-1977 paint may contain

lead and paint applied to homes

prior to 1950 is likely to contain

lead. Once deposited on surfaces,

hand-to-mouth contact can result in

the ingestion of lead. Exposure to

even low levels of lead can cause

irreversible brain and nervous system

damage; young and unborn children

are particularly vulnerable. Before

beginning any paint removal process

you should determine whether the

paint you are removing contains lead.

This can be done by your local health

department or by a professional

who uses a paint analyzer to check

the lead content of the paint to be

removed. LEAD BASED PAINT

SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY

A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD

NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT

GUN.

Exercise CAUTION when using 3.

this product outdoors. To reduce

the risk of electric shock, keep

extension cord connection dry and off

the ground.

Persons removing paint should 4.

follow these guidelines:

Move the work piece outdoors. Ifa.

this is not possible, keep the work

area well ventilated. Open the

windows and put an exhaust fan

in one of them. Be sure the fan is

moving the air from inside to outside.

dual lter (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 lters are readily

available at major hardware stores.

Make sure the mask ts. Beards

and facial hair may keep masks

from sealing properly. Change

lters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER

MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

Use caution when operating theg.

Heat Gun. Keep the Heat Gun

moving, as excessive heat will

generate fumes which can be

inhaled by the operator.

Keep food and drink out of the workh.

area. Wash hands, arms and face

and rinse mouth before eating or

drinking. Do not smoke or chew

tobacco in the work area.

Clean up all removed paint andi.

dust by wet mopping the oors.

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. Never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. If damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. If the plug will not

t the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three

Prong Plugs

Tools marked with “Grounding1.

Required” have a three wire cord

and three prong grounding plug.

The plug must be connected to a

properly grounded outlet. If the tool

should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a

low resistance path to carry electricity

away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is2.

connected through the green wire

inside the cord to the grounding

system in the tool. The green wire

in the cord must be the only wire

connected to the tool’s grounding

system and must never be attached

to an electrically “live” terminal. (See

3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an3.

appropriate outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all

codes and ordinances. The plug and

outlet should look like those in the

preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong

Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three

wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply2.

outlet increases, you must use a

heavier gauge extension cord. Using

extension cords with inadequately

sized wire causes a serious drop in

voltage, resulting in loss of power and

possible tool damage.

(See Table A.) The smaller the

gauge number of the wire, the

greater the capacity of the cord. For

example, a 14 gauge cord can carry

a higher current than a 16 gauge

cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one extension3.

cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

Page 8SKU 66001 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

If you are using one extension cord4.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord5.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is6.

properly wired and in good electrical

condition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from7.
