Using the Heat Gun
Always read the safety information included in this manual before using the
heat gun.
1. Plug the unit into a standard wall outlet.
2. Turn on the unit by moving the rocker switch to hot. The
motor-driven fan noise will indicate that the unit is running.
The heating coil will light up slowly to dark red.
Note: Smoke may appear during the initial start up
due to the burning of manufacturing oils. The
smoke should disappear in less than a minute.
IMPORTaNT: If the blower motor in the heat gun does not turn on when the switch
is set to either HOT or COLD, turn the switch OFF immediately. The heating
element will burn out if it is not cooled by the blower.

3. Adjust the heat output by turning the thumb screw on the
adjustable air intake cover to change the size of the intake
openings. The larger the openings, the cooler the output.
The smaller the openings, the hotter the output. Heat output
will vary by about 250° F between a fully opened and a fully
closed intake cover.
Do not block the air intake openings opposite the
adjustable intake cover. The heating element will burn
out if too much air intake is blocked.
4. When you are done, move the rocker switch to cold. Allow the
blower to operate for a few minutes to cool the gun. This helps to
extend the life of the heat gun.
5. Move the rocker switch to off and unplug the heat gun.
Note: Always set the heat gun upright after it is turned off, either
for a short break or for storage. Avoid laying the unit on the
side after shutdown. The heat will remain in the unit and
cooling will take longer. Store the unit only after the nozzle
is cool. Unplug the unit before storing to prevent accidental
startup.
IMPORTANT: Always protect glass when working near windows.
Do not touch nozzle or the scraper blade when working. These become
extremely hot and will cause severe burns. Wear gloves to protect hands
from hot scrapings.
