MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the unit,
stop the heat gun, wait for the heat gun to cool,
and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious personal
injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEANING THE HEAT GUN
The heat gun should be kept clean, dry, and free of oil or
grease. Only a mild soap and damp cloth should be used
to clean the heat gun. Do not allow liquid to enter the tool.
The high temperatures of the heat gun will cause the nozzle
to turn dark over time. This is normal and will not affect its
performance or life.
Ventilation openings must be kept clean and free of foreign
matter. The most effective method of cleaning the vents is
with compressed air. Do not attempt to clean by inserting
pointed objects through the openings.
STORAGE
Always allow the heat gun to cool to room temperature be-
fore storing. Store the heat gun out of reach of children and
untrained individuals.
WARNING:
The nozzle of the heat gun will stay hot for several
minutes after use. Always allow heat gun to cool
before storage. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury or property damage.
