Heat Pen Safety Warnings - Ryobi PCL916 Operator's Manual

 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.
When using heat pens,
always be followed:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
 The heat shield tip of the heat pen 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 pens 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 pen.
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 pen unattended while running
or cooling down. Always set the tool on a flat level
surface with the heat pen seated on the heat pen stand
while running or cooling down.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

HEAT PEN SAFETY WARNINGS

basic safety precautions should
 Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 275° 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.
 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.
WARNING:
This heat pen 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 pen 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 pen moving in a back-and-forth
motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the
panel or the material behind it.
