GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualfified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding 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
Figure A, next page.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is 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 Figure A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
Nozzle is extremely hot. When using the Heat Gun, never allow any body part to contact
nozzle. Never touch any hot surface when the Heat Gun is running. Be careful to put the hot Heat Gun
down only on a non-flammable surface.
Never use heat Gun as a blow dryer. Never direct heat flow to any person or animal.
Do not obstruct the airflow. Do not cover air outlet at any time. Do not put anything down on the
nozzle.
Additional Warnings and Safety Instructions
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, attic boards, and other panels may contain
flammable 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. Lin-
gering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
