When operating a heating appliance with an extension cord while outdoors, use only extension cords 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 heating appliance. A moment of inattention or use of drugs, alcohol or medication while operating a heating appliance can be dangerous.

Use safety equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Dust mask, protective gloves, safety shoes or non-skid shoes, must be used for appropriate conditions.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is “OFF” before plugging in. Carrying the heating appliance with your finger on the switch or plugging in the heating appliance that has switch “ON” invites accidents.

Do not direct hot tip or nozzle toward clothing, hands or other body parts. Intense heat from tip or nozzle can cause serious burns or cause clothing to ignite.

Do not touch nozzle or shield until completely cool. During use very high temperatures are generated in these areas.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, body, clothing and gloves away from nozzle or shield. Clothing or hair could ignite from extreme heat.

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

balance enables better control of the heating appliance in unexpected situations.

Tool Use and Care

Do not use heating appliance if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool which cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the heating appliance accidentally.

Store idle heating appliance only after adequate cooling period, indoors in high, dry place out of the reach of children and untrained persons. Heating appliances are dangerous in the hands of untrained persons.

Do not leave heating appliance unattended while it is running or cooling down. Always set tool on a flat, level surface so that nozzle tip is directed upwards, away from supporting surface while running or cooling down.

Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher close at hand for emergency use.

Service

Heating appliance service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in misplacing internal wiring and components which could cause serious hazard.

Double Insulated Tools

Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.

WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Double Insulated heating appliances are equip- ped 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.
