What safety guidelines should I follow with heat and wood burning tools?Updated a month ago

Use a stable, heat safe surface in a well ventilated area. Keep hot tools on the metal stand whenever they are not in your hand. Avoid skin contact and loose clothing near the tip. Unplug or switch off before changing tips. Allow the tool to cool completely, then wipe residue, coil the cord loosely, and store in a dry place. These tools are intended for adult use.
