PICAL APPLICATIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before performing an application, we recommend that you experiment with a piece of scrap material. Use care in approaching the work surface until you
find the proper distance from the work area and the proper heat application time.
Use a gentle back and forth motion when applying heat unless it is found that a concentrated heat is desired.

1. Plug heat gun into properly rated outlet.
2. Move slide switch to "1" or "2" switch position. Heat gun will come up
to full operating temperature in approximately two minutes.
3. When performing applications where hands-free use is desired, use
built-in stand.
4. To turn heat gun off after use, move switch to "Off" position. This will
allow the heat gun to cool down and the nozzle to become cool to
the touch.
5. After the heat gun has cooled down, store it away for future use.
To Operate Heat Gun
When heat gun is used in an enclosed container, such as a shrink tunnel or special enclosure, ambient air must be allowed to pass into the heat gun and
there must be an outlet of equal size for heated air to pass out of the enclosure also. Total enclosure will cause damage or possible failure to the heat
gun due to extreme heat generated.
In addition to many other applications, stripping paint has become a popular use for your Heat Gun. Before you attempt to strip paint, make sure you
observe the following safety instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
R
* EAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by
the hot air 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. Do not use if in doubt about this hazard. When working in these locations, keep the hot air gun moving in a back-and-forth motion.
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it. The hot air gun should be used on LOW temperature.
Paint Stripping
WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-
1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children
are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who used a paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD
ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HOT AIR GUN.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work
area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one
of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking
utensils and air ducts.

3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls
and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or
placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas shoud be
sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with
drop cloths.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing
mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done
and all cleanup is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask
which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health
(NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and
replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be
sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing
properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT
ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operating the hot air gun. Keep the hot air gun
moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by
the operator.
8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face
and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew
gum or tobacco in the work area.
9. Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a
wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint or
dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM.
Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to
wash and mop areas.
10. At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a
double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties, and dispose of
properly.
11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid
carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes sepa-
rately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the
work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
