Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate heating appliance in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust, dry grass, leaves and paper. Heating appliances generate high temperatures which may ignite the dust or fumes. Combustible materials like dry grass, leaves and paper will scorch and may catch fire. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a heating appliance. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical Safety Before plugging in the heating appliance, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is compatible with the voltage marked on the nameplate within 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified on the nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the heating appliance. When operating a heating appliance use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on the circuit or outlet. Don’t expose heating appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heating appliance will create an electric shock hazard. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the heating appliance or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords create electric shock hazard. -3 BM 1619929572 11-06 11/8/06 8:51 AM Page 4 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.
