GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS  Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.  Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.  Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.  Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. SERVICE  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service provider. HEAT GUN SAFETY WARNINGS When using heat guns, basic safety precautions should always be followed: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  The nozzle of the heat gun becomes very hot during operation and should not be touched until the tool has cooled. Always hold the tool by the insulated gripping surface to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Heat guns produce very high temperatures and must be used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting. Keep tool in constant motion; do not stop or dwell in one spot. Following this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious personal injury.  Excessive heat can generate fumes which may be dangerous when inhaled. Wear a dust respirator mask or dual filter respirator mask when using the heat gun. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher close at hand for emergency use. Following this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious injury.  Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or cooling down. Always set tool on a flat, level surface so nozzle tip is directed upwards, away from supporting surface, while running or cooling down. Following this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious injury.  Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.  Always wear eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Before using, check all parts for proper function and damage to component parts.  Do not use this torch to heat, mold or bend plastic sheets, moulding or tubing. WARNING: This heat gun generates extremely high temperatures. Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable 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 torch moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it. 3 - English
