Using the Heat Gun
Many variables affect heating applications, such as the material being heated, ambient
temperature, the distance from the gun to the substrate and the heating technique. For this
reason, Wagner has provided temperature guidelines for certain applications. Always start the
heat gun at the lowest temperature in the range then raise the temperature until the optimum
temperature is achieved. Always keep the heat gun in motion and at least 2” from the substrate
when applying heat.
Use Temp. Setting
Removing:
Floor coverings (adhesive backed) 350º - 750º F
Paint 900º - 1200° F

Always read the safety information included in
this manual before using the heat gun.
1. Plug the unit into a standard wall outlet.
2. Turn on the heat gun by sliding the switch to (2) (the 2
should be visible).
Note: Smoke may appear during the initial start up due to the
burning of manufacturing oils. The smoke should disappear in
less than a minute.
3. Press the temperature adjustment buttons until the display
reads the desired temperature. Press the air flow adjustment buttons to increase (+) or
decrease (-) the air flow.
IMPORTANT: If the blower motor in the heat gun does not turn on when the switch is
activated, turn the switch OFF (0) immediately. The heating element will burn out if it is
not cooled by the blower.
4. During rest periods or when you are finished with your project, slide the switch to Cool
Down Mode (1), set the gun down in an upright position (nozzle pointing up), and allow
to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the switch OFF (0) if you are
finished, or turn switch to Usage setting (2) to continue.
