Safety Warnings for Heat Guns
• Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards or other panels
may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the hot air tool when
working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily
apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the hot air tool moving in a back-and-forth
motion, lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the materials
behind it. These heat guns are capable of producing temperatures in excess of
1000
˚
F.
• DO NOT USE THIS TOOL AS A HAIR DRYER.
• Allow the tool to cool before storing. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable
surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after shutting it off. Always set
the gun on a flat level surface so that the nozzle tip is pointed upward.
• Always use good quality scrapers and stripping knives.
• Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
• Never obstruct the air intake or nozzle outlet.
• Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away from other people or
flammable objects.
• KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM METAL NOZZLE; IT BECOMES VERY HOT. Wear
gloves to protect hands.
• Don’t touch the nozzle to any surface while running or shortly after running.
• Avoid poking anything down inside the nozzle.
• Know your work environment. Remember that areas behind soffit board, ceilings,
and floors may contain highly flammable materials. Check these areas before
applying heat.
• Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be ignited and blown through
holes and cracks in the surface being stripped.
• Clean dry paint from the nozzle after use; it could ignite.
• Clean your scraper blade frequently during use; it could ignite.
• Do not use the heat gun in combination with chemical strippers.
• Do not use accessory nozzles as scrapers.
• Keep nozzle away from cord.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable materials, and soften or
melt others. Regardless of the task you are performing, shield or keep away from
these materials that are close to the work area.
• You may occasionally notice some slight smoking of the tool after it is turned
off. This is the result of heating the residual oil that was deposited on the heating
element during the manufacturing process.
• A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore
• Be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustible
materials;
• Do not apply to the same place for a lone time;
• Do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere;
• Be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of
sight;
• Place the appliance on its stand and allow it to cool down before storage;
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
In order for this tool to be an effective paint stripper, it must produce extremely high
temperatures. As a consequence, the stripper is capable of igniting paper, wood, paint
and varnish residue and similar materials.
