Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the tool off and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet
before adjusting tool or installing accessories.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-
lit. The work area must not allow access by
children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions

or
“ll”
. See Figure A
.
• Switch “l” -
Low temperature position
(700° Fahrenheit maximum). Used for mild
heating applications, i.e., heat shrink tube,
heat shrink bag, plastic bending, shaping
and welding, removing old paint coating.
• Switch “ll”
- High temperature position (1000°
Fahrenheit maximum). Used for intense
heating applications, i.e., frozen water pipe,
