Hazard: eXPLOSION Or FIre

high as 1300º F). It must be used with caution to prevent
combustible material from igniting.
PreveNTION:
• Keep the gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.

• Use extreme caution if the
other side of the material being
scraped is inaccessible, such
as house siding. Hidden areas
such as behind walls, ceilings,
floors, soffit boards and other
panels may contain flammable
materials that could be ignited
by the heat gun when working
in these locations. The ignition
of these materials may not be
readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury
to persons. When working in these locations, keep the heat gun
moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one
spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or
flashing. Heat may be conducted behind the work surface and
ignite hidden material. The ignition of hidden materials may not
be readily apparent and can result in property damage and injury.
• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves,
and paper which can scorch and catch fire.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat gun on
flammable surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after
shutting the gun off. Always set the gun on a flat, level surface
so that the nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the
supporting surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
• Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work
gloves when scraping.
• Always treat the hot air units with the same respect as an open flame.
Hazard: eLeCTrIC
May cause property damage, severe injury or loss of life.
PreveNTION:
• Do not disassemble the heat gun.
• Do not work in wet areas or expose the heat gun to rain.
• Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, aluminum
ladders or other grounded devices.
• Do not abuse the electric cord. Never carry the heat gun by the
cord or yank on the cord to disconnect if from the power supply.
Keep the electric cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Inspect
the cord for wear or damage regularly.
• Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use. If an extension
cord is damaged or otherwise unsuitable for use, replace it with a
new cord.
