DO NOT LOOK into the end of the gun during or directly after operation. 9. NEVER BLOCK the inlet grill (slits on the side of the gun) or obstruct the air flow of the unit while the gun is on. 10. DO NOT STORE the tool away in the carrying case until it has fully cooled down. 11. DO NOT HOLD a work piece in front of the heat gun without forceps or clamps, as this will risk putting your hand in the pathway of the heat flow. 12.

REQUIRED GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS

25 ft. 50 ft. 100 ft. 150 ft. 8 A 18 gauge 16 gauge 16 gauge 14 gauge 12.5 A 16 gauge 16 gauge 14 gauge 12 gauge ELECTRICAL INFORMATION IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician. IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc- tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal. CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc- tions or whether the tool is properly grounded. CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a li- censed electrician check the outlet. WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
