WARNING
Everytime you use the Heat Gun, you
should verify the following:
1. The nozzle is not obstructed with
debris.
2. Appropiate safety glasses, respirator
mask and protective clothing are being
worn.
3. Area adjacent to the heating
application is clear of all combustible
materials.
4. Availability of water or fire
extinguisher in case of a fire.
3 POSITION TRIGGER SWITCH
The Heat Gun has a 3-position trigger
switch that acts as both an ON/OFF
switch and a temperature selector
switch (Fig. 1).
To turn the Heat Gun ON at the lower
temperature (250° C or 482° F),
squeeze the upper part of the switch
(1). To turn the Heat Gun OFF from the
lower temperature setting, squeeze
the lower part of the switch (2) half
way until it clicks into the OFF position
and the Heat Gun turns OFF.
To turn the Heat Gun ON at the
higher temperature (450°C or 842°F),
squeeze the lower part of the switch
(2). To turn the Heat Gun OFF from the
higher temperature setting, squeeze
the upper part of the switch (1) half
way until it clicks into the OFF position
and the Heat Gun turns OFF.
NOTE: When the switch is set to the
lower temperature setting, the motor
speed will be slower and there will be
a reduced flow of hot air through the
nozzle. The temperature of the air will
also be reduced to 482° F (250° C).
When the switch is set to the higher
temperature setting, the motor speed
will be higher and there will be an
increased flow of hot air through the
nozzle. The temperature of the air will
also be in¬creased to 842°F (450°C).
NOTE: When the Heat Gun is first
turned ON, smoke may appear due to
the burning of manufacturing oils on
the element. The smoke will disappear
within five minutes of operation.
STRIPPING PAINT FROM DWELLING
The most common application for the
Heat Gun is in stripping paint from
fascia, soffit and siding of a dwelling
(Fig. 2). Although the Heat Gun will
work extremely well in this application,
