General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the

warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a.Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b.Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust.

c. Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a.Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

Page 3SKU 66098 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

b.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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d.Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

e.When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

3. Personal safety

a.Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you

are tired or under the inuence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

b.Use safety equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Safety

equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off-

position before connecting to

power source picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power

tools with your nger on the switch or

energizing power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d.Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

4. Power tool use and care

a.Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b.Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and

off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

d.Store idle power tools out of

the reach of children and do not

allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e.Maintain power tools. Check

for misalignment or binding of

Page 4SKU 66098 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may

affect the power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

g.Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions

and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a.Have your power tool serviced by

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Heat Gun Safety Warnings

1. Hidden areas behind walls,

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.

2. Extreme care should be taken

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.

3. Exercise CAUTION when using

this product outdoors. To reduce

the risk of electric shock, keep

extension cord connection dry and off

the ground.

4. Persons removing paint should

follow these guidelines:

a. Move the work piece outdoors. If

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.

b. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs,

furniture, clothing, cooking utensils

and air ducts.

Page 5SKU 66098 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

c. Place drop clothes in the work area

to catch any paint chips or peelings.

Wear protective clothing such as

extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

d. Work in one room at a time.

Furnishings should be removed or

placed in the center of the room

and covered. Work areas should

be sealed off from the rest of the

dwelling by sealed doorways with

drop clothes.

e. Children, pregnant or potentially

pregnant women, and nursing

mothers should not be present in the

work area until the work is done and

all clean up is complete.

f. Wear a dust respirator mask or a

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.

g. Use caution when operating the

Heat Gun. Keep the Heat Gun

moving, as excessive heat will

generate fumes which can be

inhaled by the operator.

h. Keep food and drink out of the work

area. Wash hands, arms and face

and rinse mouth before eating or

drinking. Do not smoke or chew

tobacco in the work area.

i. Clean up all removed paint and

dust by wet mopping the oors.

Use a wet cloth to clean all walls,

sills and any other surface where

paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT

SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM.

Use a high phosphate detergent or

trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash

and mop areas.

j. At the end of each work session

put the paint chips and debris in a

double plastic bag, close it with tape

or twist ties and dispose of properly.

k. Remove protective clothing and

work shoes in the work area to

avoid carrying dust into the rest of

the dwelling. Wash work clothes

separately. Wipe shoes off with a

wet rag that is then washed with the

work clothes. Wash hair and body

thoroughly with soap and water.

5. When working with plastics, varnish,

or similar materials, gases develop

that are easily ammable and can

lead to explosions. Be prepared for

ames to develop and keep suitable

re extinguishing means at hand.

6. The Nozzle becomes very hot. Do

not lay the Heat Gun on ammable

surfaces when operating the Gun or

immediately after turning the Gun off.

Always set the Heat Gun on a at,

level surface so that the Nozzle tip is

directed upwards and away from the

supporting surface.

7. Do not use the Heat Gun near

ammable materials.

8. Do not point the Heat Gun at people

or animals. The intense heat can

injure them.

9. Do not touch the tube of the heating

element or the Nozzle when they

are hot. They will be hot enough

Page 6SKU 66098 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

to cause burns during use and

immediately afterwards.

10. Do not use the Heat Gun on glass.

11. Do not use the Heat Gun as a hair

dryer or to heat up materials that can

be damaged by high temperatures.

12. Maintain labels and nameplates on

the tool. These carry important safety

information. If unreadable or missing,

contact Harbor Freight Tools for a

replacement.

13. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare

to begin work before turning on the

tool.

14. Do not leave the tool unattended

when it is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug

it from its electrical outlet before

leaving.

15. This product is not a toy. Keep it out

of reach of children.

16. People with pacemakers should

consult their physician(s) before

use. Electromagnetic elds in close

proximity to heart pacemaker could

cause pacemaker interference or

pacemaker failure. In addition,

people with pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with power switch locked

on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to

avoid electrical shock.

• Any power cord must be properly

grounded. Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) should also be

implemented – it prevents sustained

electrical shock.

17. 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 or other masonry products

• 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

those dust masks that are specially

designed to lter out microscopic

particles. (California Health & Safety

Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

18. The warnings, precautions,

and instructions discussed in

this instruction manual cannot

cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. It must

be understood by the operator that

common sense and caution are

factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be supplied by the

operator.

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

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 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

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

3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

3. The 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

preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong

Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three

wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply

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.)

3. When using more than one extension

cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

Page 8SKU 66098 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

4. If you are using one extension cord

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

5. If you are using an extension cord

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

6. Make sure the extension cord is

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.

7. Protect the extension cords from

sharp objects, excessive heat, and

damp or wet areas.
