STARTING THE HEAT TOOL
1. Depress the yellow safety that sits in the palm of your hand. If you do not
depress the safety first, you will not be able to pull the trigger with your finger
tips and ignite the heat tool.
2. With the safety depressed, slowly pull the trigger with your fingertips so you
first hear a slight “hissing” of propane flow, then pull the trigger completely
and the heat tool will “click” then ignite.
3. Should the gun fail to ignite, release both the safety and trigger fully to ensure
that the igniter is reset and repeat the starting procedure.
WARNING: MANY NEW USERS PULL THE TRIGGER TOO
QUICKLY AND MULTIPLE TIMES BELIEVING THIS IS THE BEST
WAY TO IGNITE THE HEAT TOOL. PULLING THE TRIGGER TOO
QUICKLY DOES NOT ALLOW THE PIEZO CRYSTAL INSIDE THE
IGNITER TO SEND PROPER VOLTAGE TO THE SPARK PLUG, SO
PULL THE TRIGGER SLOWLY IN ORDER TO IGNITE EVERY TIME.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRE METAL SHIELD (UL
®
GUARD) AFTER THE HEAT TOOL HAS BEEN FIRED.
