Tool Build Quality: Supplementary
WARNING: Avoid the risk of electric shock or severe injury. When the
power cable gets damaged it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or at
a Authorized Service Center.
The build quality of the electric insulation is altered if spills or liquid
gets into the tool while in use.
Do not expose to rain, liquids and/or dampness. WARNING: Before gaining
access to the terminals all power sources should be disconnected.
Power Requirements
WARNING: Tools with double insulation and reinforced insulation are
equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). This plug
will only fit in the right way into a polarized outlet. If the plug cannot be
introduced into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, call a
qualified electrician to install for you a polarized outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way. Both insulation types eliminates the need of both a grounded
third power cord with three prongs or a grounded power connection.
WARNING: When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for the
power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in
the line, resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows
the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability
shown in the tool’s nameplate. When in doubt use the next higher gauge.
Ampere Capacity | Number of Conductors | Extension gauge |
---|---|---|
from 6 ft to 49 ft | higher than 49 ft | |
from 0 A and up to 10 A | 3 (one grounded) | 18 AWG |
from 10 A and up to 13 A | 16 AWG | 14 AWG |
from 13 A and up to 15 A | 14 AWG | 12 AWG |
from 15 A and up to 20 A | 8 AWG | 6 AWG |
- It is safe to use only if the extensions have a built-in artifact for over current protection.
AWG = American Wire Gauge – Reference NMX-J-195-ANCE
WARNING: When operating power tools outdoors, use a grounded extension cable labeled “For Outdoors Use”. These extensions are especially designed for operating outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock.
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read carefully all safety warnings and instruction listed below.
Failure to comply with any of these warnings may result in electric shock,
fire and / or severe damage. Save all warnings and instructions for future
references.
Work area
Keep your work area clean, and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas may cause accidents.
Never use the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Sparks generated by power tools may ignite the flammable material.
Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance while operating the tool.
Distractions may cause loosing control.
Electrical Safety
The tool plug must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Modified plugs and different power outlets increase the risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, electric
ranges and refrigerators.
The risk of electric shock increases if your body is grounded.
Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering into the tool increases the risk of electric shock.
Do not force the cord. Never use the cord to carry, lift or unplug the tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Using an adequate outdoor extension cord reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating the tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Using a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of distraction while operating the tool may result in personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as safety glasses, anti-dust mask, non-skid shoes,
hard hats and hearing protection used in the right conditions significantly
reduce personal injury. Prevent unintentional starting up. Ensure the switch
is in the “OFF” position before connecting into the power source and / or
battery as well as when carrying the tool.
Transporting power tools with the finger on the switch or connecting power
tools with the switch in the “ON” position may cause accidents.
Remove any wrench or vice before turning the power tool on.
Wrenches or vices left attached to rotating parts of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables a better control on the tool during unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes and
gloves away from the moving parts.
Loose clothes or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
If you have dust extraction and recollection devices connected onto the tool,
inspect their connections and use them correctly.
Using these devices reduce dust-related risks.
Power Tools Use and Care
Do not force the tool. Use the adequate tool for your application.
The correct tool delivers a better and safer job at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the tool if the switch is not working properly.
Any power tool that cannot be turned ON or OFF is dangerous and should be
repaired before operating.
Disconnect the tool from the power source and / or battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing.
These measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the tool.
Store tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons that are not
familiar with the tool or its instructions to operate the tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

WARNING: -
If using the heat gun to remove paint, wear a breathing mask with filter to prevent breathing in toxic fumes. Keep the area well ventilated when working indoors.
After operating the heat gun
CAUTION:
- Wait until the gun completely cools down before storing it in a safe place away from the reach of children.
Contraindications
CAUTION:
- Do not try to thaw plastic pipes. The material would hopelessly get ruined needing to be replaced.
While operating the heat gun
DANGER:
-
Double check the switch is in the OFF position (see page 7, turning on and operation control section) before plugging the tool. Otherwise, it can have an accidental start up causing severe injuries or fire.
DANGER: -
Never aim the gun when is ON towards people or animals. Keep passersby away from the work area.
WARNING: -
Hold the gun by the handle, NEVER by the air outlet. Otherwise, the user is exposed to severe burns.
CAUTION -
Wait until the air outlet cools down completely before setting or changing accessories.
CAUTION -
When pausing the job, use the orifice in the handle to hang the gun (A) or to support it on a flat, firm and stable surface (B) away from any object, material or body part to prevent an accident.
