NEVER change nozzles with your bare hands. Always wear
gloves when removing attachments.
ATTACHING/REMOVING NOZZLE
ATTACHING A NOZZLE:
1. Let the heat gun cool. (The heat gun
will cool faster if left in an upright
position.)
2. Center the nozzle over the end of the
heat gun and press down until the
nozzle is firmly attached.
REMOVING A NOZZLE:
1. Let the heat gun cool. (The heat gun
will cool faster if left in an upright
position.)
2. Pull nozzle off the end of the gun.
CHANGING BLADES
CHANGING SCRAPER BLADES:
1. Unscrew the nut at the end of
the tool.
2. Push off the old blade.
3. Push on the new blade.
4. Thread the nut onto the handle
and tighten.
OPERATING THE HEAT GUN
Read all warnings and safety precautions before use. This
heat gun creates an extremely high temperature blast of air which can ignite
flammable materials or burn skin or hair. Never point this heat gun at yourself
or another person.
OPERATING THE “ON-OFF” SWITCH
• Plug heat gun cord into standard wall
socket.
• Push the On/Off switch down for low
heat (position I), up for high heat
(position II).
• Note: The first time the heat gun is
used, you may see smoke coming from
the inside of the unit. This is normal. As
soon as manufacturing oils have burned
off, the smoke should disappear quickly.
TIPS FOR USING THE HEAT GUN
If you do not hear the fan motor start after pushing the
switch, turn off the heat gun immediately. Running the heat gun without the fan
will burn out the heating element.
• Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other pan-
els 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.
• Never use a heat gun if flammable materials are present in the work area.
• Never use near metal pipes or where cracks are present in the surface being
heated. Metal or cracks may allow heat to ignite hidden combustible material.
• The nozzle of the heat gun becomes very hot while in use. Never let the hot
nozzle touch flammable material. After use, allow the heat gun to cool on a flat,
noncombustible surface with the nozzle pointing away from any surrounding
material.
• Note: The heat gun will cool faster if left in an upright position. Make sure the nozzle
has cooled before storage. Never leave the heat gun plugged in when not in use.
• Use caution when working around windows. Protect the glass from direct heat.
