usING eXteNsIoN coRds
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized ex-
tension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a
loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3 prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by (UL) should be used.

Not Recommended
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
the letters WA or W on the cord’s jacket.
eLectRIcAL coNNectIoN
The precision built electric motor should be connected
to a power supply that is 120 volts/60Hz AC only. Do not
operate this product on DC. If there is a substantial drop
in voltage, it may lose power, causing the motor to over-
heat. If the product does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, check on the power supply.
sPeed ANd WIRING
The speed changes depending on voltage. It’s very im-
portant the wiring in the shop leading to your product be
properly installed. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that
a line that can support one power tool may not have the
ability to handle two or three.
GRouNdING INstRuctIoNs
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. If
the product malfunctions or breaks down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The plug provided should not be modified. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician. Improper use of the equipment-ground-
ing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded,
check with a qualified electrician or service personnel.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
PoWeR suPPLY
Make sure your power supply is appropriate for this heat
gun. Keep in mind that 120 volts AC only means that your
tool will work on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not
attempt to use AC tools on DC power. If the rating is 120
volts AC/DC, this also means the tool will work on standard
60 Hz household power. This information is available on
the nameplate. If lower voltage is used, there will be a loss
in power, which can result in over-heating.
WARNING:
Be sure to keep the cord in a position where it will not
get caught on tools or other obstructions while you are
working. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
If extension cords are damaged, replace them imme-
diately. Electrical shock and/or serious injury can result
from using any tool with a damaged cord.
