free of defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original
purchase. Should any trouble develop during this one-year-period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight

of "merchantability" and "fitness for a specific purpose", after the one-year
term of this warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state
to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consquential damages,
so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do not allow limitation on how
long an implied warranty lasts,
so
the above limitation my not apply to you.

touch nozzle or accessory tips until cool.
4. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled
to
room temperature. Place tool in a clear area
away from combustible materials while cool-
ing. Store indoors.
5. Do not cut off air flow. Keep cool air inlets
clean and clear of obstructions.

hand held. Place cord in a position that won't
cause tipping, or tripping.
7. Do not leave tool unattended while running or
cooling down.

vent damage or fire.
Double insulated tools, like this one, have two
prong cords, and can use either a two or three
prong extension cord. As the distance from the
supply outlet increases, however, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The use of extension
cords of inadequate size wire causes a serious
drop in voltage and loss of power. Protect the cord
from damage. Keep cords away from excessive
heat, sharp edges and damp or wet areas. Repair
or replace damaged extension cords before using.
