PROPANE HEAT GUN
• Read and comply with the instructions and warnings
in this manual and familiarize yourself with the Heat Gun
before lighting and using.
• This heat gun is used with a flammable product (Propane).
Failure to comply with these Warnings and Instructions
may result in an explosion or fire that may cause property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
• Review instructions and warnings periodically to maintain
awareness. Do not try to operate before reading instructions.
• This tool is to be used only with hand held Propane cylinders
specifically designated for use with torches and other heat tools.
• Keep heat gun out of reach of children and anyone who
has not read instructions. Do not point heat gun towards
face, other persons or flammable objects.
• Disconnect cylinder when not in use.
• Never attempt to modify the heat gun construction and
never use unapproved accessories or fuels.
• Although the internal nozzle flame cannot exceed the
length of the nozzle, be extra careful when using the heat
outdoors on sunny or windy days. Wind may carry the heat
back towards you or other areas not intended to be heated.
Windy conditions may also cause sparks to be blown into
other areas with combustible materials.
•
Treat the heat gun as you would any fine tool or instrument.
Do not drop, throw, or otherwise abuse.
• Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning heat gun.
• Heating a surface may cause heat to be conducted to
adjoining surfaces that may be combustible or become
pressurized when heated. Always check to make sure no
unintended parts or materials are being heated.
• Work only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid the fumes from
fluxes, lead based paint, and all metal heating operations.
Be especially careful to avoid fumes from cadmium plating
and galvanized metal - remove these coatings in the area
to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating.
• Always wear safety glasses, protective gloves and use
proper tools to handle hot work
(users and bystanders)
.
• Be aware that the nozzle of the heat gun can get extremely
hot during use. Take precautions to protect yourself and
others from accidental burns.
• Never use the heat gun on or near combustibles. Be
especially careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-
fired products and beware of hidden fuel lines and tanks.
• Always make certain the heat gun is placed on a level
surface when connected to the fuel cylinder to reduce the
risk of accidental tip over. Be sure the heat gun is not pointed
in a direction which could cause nearby objects to ignite
when the heat gun is set down.
• Never leave the heat gun unattended when lit.
• Never attempt to repair or heat a gasoline tank, a chemical
drum, an aerosol can, a compressed gas container that held
flammable liquid or gas or any other chemical. Heating these
is extremely dangerous, especially after they have been
"emptied".
• When thawing pipes, be very careful not to overheat surrounding
materials. Use heat shield.
• Always have a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water near the
heat gun and work area.
• This heat gun consumes oxygen and must only be used in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in a confined space.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal
personal injury, property damage or both.
