The Masterflow
®
Heat Blower
is a heavy-duty, industrial quality
heat blower suitable for
continuous duty applications.
It produces a high volume of
hot air for demanding industrial
applications. The adjustable
stand features a keyhole slot for
easy equipment mounting and
allows the nozzle capability of ro-
tating 90° (horizontal to vertical).
Your Masterflow
®
is equipped
with a thermal fuse which will
protect the element from over
heating or burn out due to
a nozzle blockage or motor
failure.
Heat blowers are a source
of extremely high tempera-
ture flameless heat (up to
750°F/400°C). As with other
products which generate
extremely high temperatures,
regardless of your specific
application, extreme care and
caution should be observed
when using this product.
Therefore, we recommend
that you pay particular atten-
tion to the safety instructions
which we have provided for
your protection.

WARNING:
THIS PRODUCT
IS A SOURCE OF VERY HIGH
TEMPERATURE FLAME-
LESS HEAT. AS WITH ANY
ELECTRICAL TOOL, WHEN
USING HEAT TOOLS, ALWAYS
FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY PRE-
CAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING, TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
1) Read and understand this
instruction manual before
using.
Save this manual for
future reference.
WARNING:
To reduce the
risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose heat blowers
to rain or moisture. Store in-
doors. Connect to grounded
outlet only.
2) Do not use plug adaptors or
remove the ground prong
from the plug. This tool is
equipped with a 3-prong
plug and a 3-wire grounding
system. Connect to properly
grounded outlets only.
3) Use heat blower only on
adequately rated circuits to
avoid overheating of electri-
cal systems.
4) Masterflow Heat Blowers can
produce up to 750°F/400°C
of flameless heat out of the
nozzle. Do not direct this hot
air stream at your clothing,
hands or body parts. Do not
use as a hair dryer.
5) Do not touch nozzle open-
ing or nozzle shield until
cool. When in “Hot” mode,
extreme heat is generated
at those areas. Always hold
tool by the handle or use
permanently attached stand.
6) Run on “Cold” before turning
off. The nozzle and shield
require approximately 3
Important Safety Instructions
(cont’d)
minutes to become cool to
the touch.
7) Do not touch work surface
with nozzle. Keep nozzle
face at least 1” away.
8) Keep a clean work area.
Messy or cluttered work ar-
eas invite accidents or injury.
9) Keep away from children
or persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of expe-
rience and knowledge. All
visitors should be kept at a
safe distance from the work
area. Do not let visitors touch
the tool or extension cord.
10) Use tool in a well-ventilated
area. Do not use near
flammable liquids or in
an explosive environment
(where fumes, gases or dust
are present).
11) Remove all highly flam-
mable materials and other
debris from the work area.
12) Wear safety glasses at all
times.
13) When using an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire
grounded cord with a mini-
mum of 14-gauge capacity.
We recommend they be listed
by Underwriters laboratories
(UL) in the U.S.A. or (CSA)
Canadian Standards Associa-
tion in Canada and be suit-
able for outdoor use. Cords
marked for outdoor use are
also suitable for indoor use.
14) Don’t abuse cordset. Never
yank by cord to remove from
electrical outlet or carry tool
by cord.
15) Don’t remove adjustable
stand. When not hand-
held, place tool on a level
surface. Position cordset so
it does not cause tipping.
16) Keep a fully-charged fire
extinguisher close at hand.
17) Do not leave heat blower
unattended while the heat
blower is running or cooling
down.
18) Stay alert. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Use
common sense and watch
what you are doing.
19) Store properly. Do not store
while hot. Store in a dry,
high or locked-up location.
Keep out of the reach of
children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Hidden areas such
as walls, ceilings, floors, soffit
boards and other panels may
contain flammable liquids that
could be ignited by the hot
air gun when working in these
locations. The ignition of these
materials may not be 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 backand- forth
motion. Lingering or pausing in
one spot could ignite the panel
or the material behind it.
Paint Stripping
WARNING:
Extreme care
should be taken when stripping
paint. The peelings, residue
and vapors of paint may con-
tain 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 inges-
tion 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 content 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 pos-
sible, 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.
