CAUTIONS
1. This hot air gun can produce up to 1050° F of flameless
heat at the nozzle. Do not direct airstream at clothing,
hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.
2. Do not use near flammable liquids or in an explosive
environment (fumes, gases or dust). Remove materials or
debris, that may become ignited, from work area.
3. Always hold tool by plastic enclosure. The metal nozzle
requires approximately 20 minutes to cool to where it
can be touched. Do not touch nozzle or accessory tips
until cool.
4. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled to room
temperature. Place tool in a clear area away from
combustible materials while cooling.
5. Do not cut off air flow by placing nozzle too close to
workpiece. Keep intake vents clean and clear of
obstructions.
6. Do not leave tool unattended while running or
cooling down.
7. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby.
8. Do not direct airflow directly on to glass.
9. Shield materials around the heated area to prevent
damage or fire.
10. Use only 120 V AC voltage.
11. Do not use in wet conditions.
12. Not to be used by children. This is not a toy and should
be respected.
13. Do not use in bath or over water.
14. Safety glasses should be worn when using this tool.
15. For stripping paint, see detailed instructions in this manual.
16. It is recommended that leather gloves be worn when
using a heat gun.
17. Always unplug after use!
WARNING!
This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 1050° F
of flameless heat at the nozzle.
ALWAYS:
• Direct the heat away from yourself and others.
• Prevent ignition of combustible materials on or near
the workpiece.
• Prevent blockage of intake and nozzle openings.
• Keep fully charged fire extinguisher on hand.
• Allow the nozzle and accessory tips to cool to room
temperature before storage.
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS
Tools marked with the words “Double Insulated” are equipped
with a two pronged plug. These tools have a special insulation
system that complies with applicable standards of both
Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. and Canadian Standard
Association. They do not require grounding.
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools, like this one, have two prong cords
and can use either a two or three prong extension cord. As
the distance from the supply outlet increases, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The use of extension cords of
inadequate size wire causes a serious drop in voltage and
loss of power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep cords
away from excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or wet
areas. Repair or replace damaged extension cords
before using.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
WARNING!
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit
boards and other panels may contain flammable materials
that could be ignited by the heat gun 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 heat gun
moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in
one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
