IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Instructions for Heat Guns

• To reduce the risk of explosion, DO NOT use in paint spray

booths or within 10' (3.0 m) of paint sprayingoperations.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not

modify the plug in anyway.

• DO NOT use this tool to remove paint containing

lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may

contain lead which ispoisonous.

• 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. 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.

NOTE: These heat guns are capable of producing

temperatures in excess of 1000˚ F

• DO NOT use this tool as a hairdryer.

• DO NOT use this tool to heatfood.

• DO NOT lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when

operating the gun or immediately after shutting it off.

Allow the tool to cool before storing. Always set the gun on

a flat level surface so that the nozzle tip is pointedupward.

• DO NOT use in the presence of explosivematerials.

• Keep moveable items secured and steady whilescraping.

• NEVER obstruct the air intake or nozzle outlet. This may

cause excessive heat build up resulting in damage to

thetool.

• Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away

from other people or flammableobjects.

• DO NOT remove the heat barrel cover duringuse.

• KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM METAL NOZZLE; it

becomes very hot during use and remains hot for 30

minutes after use. Wear gloves to protecthands.

• ALWAYS keep nozzle away fromcord.

• DO NOT touch the nozzle to any surface while running or

shortly afterrunning.

• DO NOT place anything inside the nozzle as it could

cause an electric shock. Do not look down the nozzle

while the unit is turned on due to the high temperatures

beingproduced.

• Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be

ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the surface

beingstripped.

• DO NOT apply heat to the same area for a long period

oftime.

• DO NOT burn the paint. Use the scraper provided and

keep the nozzle at least 1" (25 mm) away from the painted

surface. When working in a vertical direction, work

downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool

andburning.

• DO NOT allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper. It

couldignite.

• ALWAYS use good quality scrapers and strippingknives.

• DO NOT use the heat gun in combination with

chemicalstrippers.

• DO NOT use accessory nozzles asscrapers.

• DO NOT direct heatgun airflow directly on glass. The

glass may crack and could result in property damage or

personalinjury.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry

importantinformation.

• Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not

hand held. Place the cord in a position that won't cause

the heat gun to tipover.

• Place the appliance on its stand after use and allow

it to cool down beforestorage.

• Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable

materials, soften or melt others. Regardless of the task you

are performing, shield or keep the heat gun away from

thesematerials.

• You may occasionally notice some slight smoking of the

tool after it is turned off. This is the result of heating the

residual oil that was deposited on the heating element

during the manufacturingprocess.

• Use eye protection and other safetyequipment.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electricshock.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

qualified person in order to avoid ahazard.

• When operating a tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.

• Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a tool will increase the risk of electricshock.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the tool in

unexpectedsituations.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these

instructions to operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrainedusers.
