Operating Instructions
Your Masterflow
®
is a heavy-
duty industrial quality heat
blower. You can do more heat-
ing jobs faster with this heat
blower because of its high
power and air flow ratings.
This product provides a fast
flow of heated air for applica-
tions such as:
• Shrinking heat-shrinkables.
• Shrinking sleeves over
wires, harnesses and bottle
caps.
• Drying inks and paints on
silk screen, posters, fabrics
and papers.
Uses are as limitless as your
own ingenuity.
The proper amount of heat for
each application is dependent
upon the model number of the
Masterflow in use, the dis-
tance from the work surface,
and the heat application time.
Before performing any appli-
cation, we recommend that
you experiment with a piece of
scrap material. Use care in
approaching the work until
you find the proper combina-
tion of distance from the work
surface, and the heat applica-
tion time.
Use a gentle back and forth
motion when applying heat
unless it is found that a con-
centrated heat is desired.
2. Remove or cover any car-
pets, rugs, furniture, cloth-
ing, cooking utensils and
air ducts.
3. Place drop clothes 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. Furnishing should be
removed or placed in the
center of the room and
covered. Work areas
should be sealed off from
the rest of the dwelling by
sealing doorways with drop
clothes.
5. Children, pregnant or
potentially pregnant
women and nursing moth-
ers 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 Stated 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 operat-
ing the hot air gun. Keep
the hot air gun moving as
excessive heat will gener-
ate 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
of 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 deter-
gent or trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) to, wash and
mop areas.
10. At the end of each work
session put the paint
chips and the debris in a
double plastic bag, close
it with tape or twist ties,
and dispose of properly.
11. Remove protective cloth-
ing and work shoes in the
work area to avoid carry-
ing dust into the rest of
the dwelling. Wash work
clothes separately. Wipe
shoes off with a wet rag
that is then washed with
the work clothes. Wash
hair and body thoroughly
with soap and water.
