your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the tool if the power
switch does not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of
children
and
persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Use
only
accessories
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING
POISON HAZARD: Extreme care
must be taken when using a heat
gun to strip paint. The softened
paint, residue and vapours of the
paint may contain lead which is
poisonous. Any paint used in the
construction industry prior to 1977
may contain lead. Once paint is
applied to the surface, hand-to-
mouth contact can result in the
ingestion of lead. Breathing the
vapour resulting from the heating
process or dust from a sanding
process may also result in the
ingestion of lead. Exposure to
any amount of lead can cause
irreversible brain and nervous
system damage. Young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable
to lead poisoning.
Before starting any paint removal
process you should determine if
the paint you are removing contains
personnel.
