Only use your heat gun for its intended purpose.
That includes the forming
and welding of plastic, removal of paint and the warming of heat-shrinkable
tubing, soldering and tinning, loosening of adhesive joints, and the defrosting
of water lines.
Be aware of the fact that your heat gun produces heat, lots of it. Make sure
to not operate it around flammable or explosive materials and spaces.
Do not direct the hot air flow to the same spot for too long. Among other
things, doing this may help develop flammable gases when working with
plastic, paint, varnish or similar materials.
Never point the heat gun at yourself, other people or animals. Also, please do
not use it for cooking food. It's not a hairdryer either.
Keep the cord and your digits away from the metal nozzle. The nozzles
become very hot, so always use heat resistant gloves when handling them.
Also, make sure to never obstruct the air flow from the gun.
Let your heat gun cool down completely before putting it in storage. Do it by
laying the gun on its back, so that the nozzle does not touch any surfaces and
thus don't damage them.
Do not leave the heat gun unattended while it's turned on or plugged in.
Pretty obvious, but needs to be said.
Do not use your heat gun if it doesn't work as it should, or if the cord is
damaged. Get it repaired or replaced before using. If you should have any
problems or concerns about anything, anything at all, let us know by emailing
m.
Clean the heat gun after every use.
Especially pay attention to removing dry
paint from the nozzle and scraper frequently, as it can ignite.
Do not take unnecessary risks by trying to reach areas that are obviously too
far away to reach safely. Keep proper footing and balance at all times - it'll
help you keep control in unexpected circumstances, whether it be the heat gun
