WARNING:
This heat gun generates extremely high temperatures.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit
boards, and other panels may contain flammable materi-
als that could be ignited by the heat gun when working
in these locations. Keep tool in constant motion; do not
stop or dwell in one spot as the panel or material behind
it may ignite.
The ignition of these materials may not be
readily apparent and could result in property damage and
injury to persons.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION
WARNING:
Do not direct hot tip or nozzle toward clothing, hands,
or other body parts.
Intense heat from tip or nozzle can
cause serious burns or cause clothing to ignite.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION
STARTING/STOPPING THE HEAT GUN
See Figure 2, page 11.
The heat gun is started by sliding the hi/lo/off switch up to
the on (
l ) position. To stop, slide the switch down to the off
( O ) position.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
See Figure 2-3, page 11.
The temperature setting of the heat gun is shown on the
temperature display and is controlled by the temperature
adjustment dial located at the top of the tool. Turn the dial
to the right to raise the temperature and to the left to lower
the temperature.
To set the heat gun on the low fan setting, slide the hi/lo/off
switch to the I (middle position). To use the high fan setting,
slide the hi/lo/off switch to the II (top position).
WARNING:
The proper amount of heat necessary for a specific ap-
plication depends on the distance between the nozzle
and workpiece and the length of time heat is applied.
Experiment with scrap materials and start with the low-
est temperature range. Be cautious when working until
the proper combination of heat, distance and time has
been determined. Leaving the heat gun unattended could
increase the risk of fire or personal injury.
OPERATION
HANDS-FREE OPERATION
See Figure 4, page 11.
The heat gun has a flat bottom surface that acts as a sup-
port stand to allow hands-free operation and cooling. Rest
the tool on a flat surface and make sure the cord placement
does not cause the heat gun to tip over.
NOTE: Do not leave heat gun unattended while it is running
or cooling down. Always set on a flat, level surface with
nozzle tip directed upwards, away from supporting surface.
INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 11.
Several attachments are included with the heat gun to expand
its capabilities. Attachments are installed simply by placing
them on the end of the heat gun’s nozzle.
NOTE:
Install or remove attachments only when both the
heat gun nozzle and the attachment nozzle are cool.
Tube bender nozzle: The tube bender nozzle is useful
for surround bending, soldering pipe, and applying heat to
shrinkable tubing.
Concentrator nozzle:
The concentrator nozzle intensifies
the application of heat in a specific area. Uses for this nozzle
include bending acrylic plastic sheets, soldering pipe joints,
and directing heat into corners.
REMOVING THE NOSE CONE
See Figure 7, page 11.
The nose cone helps to limit exposure to the extremely hot
nozzle when the heat gun is in use. However, the nose cone
can be removed to allow use of the heat gun in tight spaces.
NOTE:
Always reinstall the nose cone when finished.
To remove:
 Unplug the heat gun.

With nozzle pointed away from you, rotate the nose cone
slightly counterclockwise and remove.
WARNING:
The nozzle of the heat gun is extremely hot during use.
It will stay hot for several minutes, depending on room
temperature. Allow heat gun to cool before attempting to
install or remove the nose cone to avoid possible serious
personal injury.
To reinstall:
 Unplug the heat gun.

Slide nose cone over the heat gun nozzle.

Seat the nose cone against the body of the heat gun by
aligning tabs on heat gun body to notches on base of
nose cone.

Rotate the nose cone clockwise to secure.
