IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
UL WARNING:
Read this instruction book before using. To reduce risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose to rain or moisture. Store indoors. Double insulated. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. This hot air gun operates at
1100°F with no visual indication of temperature (no flame). Never leave device unattended.
Otherwise risk of fire. The heat stream at the outlet nozzle will burn flesh. Do not turn on heat gun
with hand in front of nozzle. DO NOT USE NEAR COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS. DO NOT USE FOR:
●
Heating gas engines
●
Heating car batteries
●
Thawing refrigerator equipment.
WARNING!
This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 1100° F of flameless heat at the nozzle.
ALWAYS:
●
Direct the heat away from yourself and others.
●
Prevent ignition of combustible materials on or near the workpiece.
●
Prevent blockage of intake and nozzle openings.
●
Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher on hand.
●
Allow the nozzle and accessory tips to cool to room temperature before storage.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
●
lead from lead-based paints,
●
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
●
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Cautions
1.
WARNING:
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may
contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations.
The ignition of these materials may not be readily 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 heat gun moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite
the panel or the material behind it.
2. This heat gun can produce up to 1100° F of flameless heat at the nozzle. Do not direct airstream at
clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.
3. Do not use near flammable liquids or in an explosive environment (fumes, gases or dust). Remove
materials or debris, that may become ignited, from work area.
4. Always hold tool by plastic enclosure. The metal nozzle requires approximately 20 minutes to cool
after turning off the tool. Do not touch nozzle or accessory tips until cool.
5. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled to room temperature. Place tool in a clear area away from
combustible materials while cooling.
6. Do not cut off airflow by placing nozzle too close to workpiece. Keep intake vents clean and clear
of obstructions.
7. Place cord in a position that won’t cause tipping.
8. Do not leave tool unattended while running or cooling down. Otherwise risk of fire.
9. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby.
10. Do not direct airflow directly on glass.
11. Shield materials around the heated area to prevent damage or fire.
12. Use only with 120 V AC voltage.
13. Do not use in wet conditions.
14. Not to be used by children. This is not a toy and should be respected.
15. Do not use in bath or over water.
16. Safety glasses should be worn when using this tool.
17. It is recommended that leather gloves be worn when using a heat gun.
18. Always unplug after use.

Please Note
This heat tool may emit a vapor during the first few minutes of operation. This is normal and due
to residue from the manufacturing process. It is burned off after the first few minutes of operation.
19.
WARNING:
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain 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 ingestion 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 pro-
fessional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the paint to be removed.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.
20. Do not allow dust, debris or other contamination to enter the heat blower air intake. They may
ignite or cause damage to the tool.
Persons removing materials should follow these guidelines.
1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, 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.
2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any residue. Wear protective clothing such as extra
work shirts, overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings 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 cloths.
5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in
the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator mask 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 States 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 operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat will
generate 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 or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
9. Clean up all removed residue and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all
walls, sills and any other surface where residue or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST
OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop
areas.
10. At the end of each work session put the residue and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with
tape or twist ties, and dispose of properly.
11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying 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.
