Another Word About Heat Guns...

My mate Sue was telling me this the other day, and I thought I would pass it on.

Please unplug your heat guns when they aren’t in use.

Recently there was a crafter down south who, like most crafters, kept her heat gun plugged in and ready for use. One day while she was away one of her pets accidentally switched the heat gun on, which ultimately started a fire. Her entire craft room was gutted.

So for the sake of safety, please unplug your heat tools when they are not in use. It’s easy for a pet or child to accidentally turn one one, for it to drop and turn on, or for something to drop onto it and turn it on. I’d hate for anyone to lose their craft room, their house, or lives due to an accident with a heat gun.

I’ll be posting a few more layouts and such as soon as my allergies die down. I really hope that’s soon.

thanks for passing this along Chriss. My heat gun is sitting on the floor beside me, plugged in, assesable to my puppy and easy for something to fall off my desk onto it. I’m unplugging it right now.
