WARNING
Heat Gun Model 2000D
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - This heat gun produces extremely high
temperatures (as high as 1450° F). It must be used with caution to
prevent combustible material from igniting.
PREVENTION:
1. Keep the gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.
2. Use extreme caution if the other side of the
material being scraped is inaccessible, such as
house siding. The hidden side could catch on fire
if it becomes too hot. Some buildings contain
highly flammable materials behind siding, floors,
facia, soffit boards and other panels. Check
these areas before applying heat and do not use
a heat tool if flammable materials are present or if
you are unsure of the hidden material.
3. 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.
4. Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
5. Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, and paper which
can scorch and catch fire.
6. 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.
7. Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
8. Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
9. Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves when
scraping.
10. 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:
1. Do not disassemble the heat gun.
2. Do not work in wet areas or expose the heat gun to rain.
3. Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, aluminum ladders or other grounded devices.
4. 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.
5. 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.
HAZARD: GENERAL - may cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
1. Disconnect the heat gun from the power supply when not in use. Store indoors in
a dry place and out of the reach of children.
2. Keep your work area well lighted and clean.
3. Do not overreach, especially when working on ladders. Keep proper footing and
