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 1200°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 LIQ-
UIDS. DO NOT USE FOR:
● Heating gas engines ● Heating car batteries ● Thawing
refrigerator equipment.
WARNING!
This tool is capable of producing temperatures up to 1200° 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 1200° 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 to where it can be touched. 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 tool on a level surface with the support rubber ring when tool is not hand held.
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.
