WARNING:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualied electrician. Do
not modify the plug in any way.
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 extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
causing the motor to overheat. 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.
a. Extension cords (or longer detachable power-supply cords)
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
b. If an extension cord (or a long detachable powersupply cord)
is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally
(especially by children).
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed
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 overheat. 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 important 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.
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 immediately. Electrical shock and/or serious injury can
result from using any tool with a damaged cord.
