Fire Hazard. Heat guns and flameless heating tools can cause fire or explosion in hazardous areas. Be sure there are no flammable materials or vapors in the area before using these tools. Follow all site safety guidelines when working in hazardous areas.
Component approvals and performance are based on the use of specified parts only.
HealtH Hazard. Overheating heat-shrinkable tubing or SolderSleeves will produce fumes that may cause irritation. Use adequate ventilation and avoid charring or burning. Consult MSDS RAY3122 and RAY5103 for further information.
