As an efficient and versatile thermal tool, the heat gun is widely used in industries, handicrafts, and artistic creations. However, due to its high-temperature operation, incorrect use or unexpected situations can lead to fires and other safety incidents. Therefore, it is crucial to understand emergency response measures and fire prevention knowledge for heat guns.

I. Emergency Response Measures

1. Power Cut-off: In case of any accident during the use of the heat gun, such as overheating of the equipment, short circuits, or the appearance of open flames, the first priority is to immediately cut off the power. This can be achieved by unplugging the power cord or turning off the power switch to prevent the accident from escalating.
2. Fire Response: In the event of a fire, besides cutting off the power, it is necessary to quickly use a fire extinguisher or fire blanket to put out the fire. Meanwhile, promptly call the police and seek help from professional firefighters.
3. Burn Treatment: If accidentally burned by the hot air, immediately rinse the wound with cold water and perform proper disinfection and bandaging. If the injury is severe, seek medical attention promptly.

II. Fire Prevention Knowledge

1. Work Environment Inspection: Before using the heat gun, ensure that the work environment is well-ventilated and away from flammable items such as paper, fabric, and wood. This can effectively reduce the risk of fire.
2. Equipment Inspection and Maintenance: Regularly inspect the power cord, plug, and heating elements of the heat gun for damage. If any damage or aging is found, replace or repair it promptly.
3. Operational Norms: When using the heat gun, follow the instructions in the operation manual and avoid prolonged heating of the same position to prevent overheating and fire. Additionally, do not point the heat gun at yourself or others to avoid burns.
4. Use Appropriate Protective Equipment: Wear protective equipment such as fire-resistant gloves and goggles to reduce injury in case of a fire.
5. Prohibition for Children and Untrained Personnel: Due to the potential danger of heat guns, it is essential to ensure that children and untrained personnel do not use them.
6. Fire Escape and Self-rescue Knowledge: Understand and master basic fire escape and self-rescue knowledge to respond quickly in case of a fire.

By following the above emergency response measures and fire prevention knowledge, we can use heat guns more safely and reduce the risk of fires and other safety incidents. At the same time, raising self-protection awareness ensures that correct response measures can be quickly taken in emergency situations.
