WORK AREA Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause accidents or injur y. Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other .) This plug will 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 to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way .Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators . There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carr y the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately . Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W - A” or “W .”These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec- tric shock. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injur y. CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage. NOTEprovides additional information that is useful for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood. IMPOR TANT SAFEGUARDS People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker . 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 masonr y 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. WARNING: Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 3 4
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’ s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injur y when used on another tool. SERVICE Tool ser vice must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Ser vice or maintenance by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injur y. When ser vicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injur y. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator . IMPOR TANT SAFETY RULES FOR HEA T GUNS This heat gun produces temperatures high enough to ignite combustible material. DO NOT use around flammable liquids and gases or easily com- bustible matter such as leaves, paper or dry grass. NEVER use this heat gun as a hair dryer . This heat gun can cause severe burns and/or poisoning from exposure to toxic fumes if not used properly . Read all safety instructions before use. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Always disconnect the heat gun when not in use. • Keep out of reach of children. • Store in a dry location. • Make sure the work area is clean and free from clutter . • Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. If using a ladder , make sure it is stable and set up on a sturdy sur face. Overreaching while on a ladder can lead to dangerous falls. • Stay away from power lines. • Secure small work pieces before using heat gun to prevent accidental slippage. PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injur y. Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewelr y. Contain long hair . Keep your hair , clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelr y or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injur y. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot- ing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situa- tions.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe- ty shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. TOOL USE AND CARE Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally . Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 5
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing door ways with drop cloths. • Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing m others should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete. • Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily avail- able at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly . Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUA TE. • Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by the operator . • Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area. • Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other sur face where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP , DR Y DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas. • At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of properly . • Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carr ying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately . Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water . 8 7 • Stay alert. Never use this tool if you are drowsy or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS • Never disassemble the heat gun. All repairs should be made by qualified ser vice personnel.• Keep heat gun away from rain, snow and other damp environments. • While working, avoid making contact with grounded sur faces such as radiators, pipes, or aluminum ladders. Touching a grounded object while working with a power tool could lead to electric shock. • Inspect the cord for wear or damage regularly . Keep away from oil, heat and sharp edges. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Do not carr y the heat gun by the cord. • If an extension cord is necessar y, be sure it is rated for outdoor use. Never use a damaged extension cord. Replace it immediately . Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on sur faces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and ner vous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health depart-ment or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONL Y BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEA T GUN. PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES: • Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well- ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside. • Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts. • Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

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. OPERA TING THE HEA T 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. OPERA TING 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 HEA T 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 injur y 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 sur face being heated. Metal or cracks may allow heat to ignite hidden combustible material. • The nozzle of the heat gun becomes ver y hot while in use. Never let the hot nozzle touch flammable material. After use, allow the heat gun to cool on a flat, noncombustible sur face with the nozzle pointing away from any surrounding material.•Note: The heat gun will cool faster if left in an upright position. M ake 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. 12 11
Nozzle and scraper blades will become extremely hot dur- ing use. Do not touch nozzle or scraper blades with your bare hands or severe burns will result. Always wear gloves when heat gun is in use. STRIPPING PAINT • Move the heat gun for ward slowly at an angle to the sur face you are stripping. This will cause the paint to soften. • Always keep the nozzle pointing in the direction you are moving. • Follow behind the heat gun with the scraper , carefully removing the softened paint. Be sure to keep out of the way of the hot air from the nozzle. • If the sur face to be stripped has multiple layers of paint, allow the sur face to heat thoroughly and remove all the layers at once. • Use a soft wire brush for sur faces too delicate for the scraper blade. • Mineral paints (por celain, cement paint) will not soften with heat and must be removed by another method. Note: Do not use heat gun on vinyl-coated siding or window frames. High heat will damage the vinyl sur faces. Window frame putty softens under heat. When stripping window frames, be careful not to damage the soft putty with the scraper . The putty will harden again once it cools.When stripping paint from fascia on a roof with asphalt shingles, do not let the heat gun linger too long on the shingles themselves as this will melt the asphalt and damage the shingles. Never use this heat gun on laminated window glass. Heating laminated window glass will cause the glass to expand, breaking the edge seals. Always keep an ABC fire extinguisher or bucket of water within reach while using heat gun. When used properly , the heat gun is safe, but accidents happen and it is better to be prepared.14 HEA T GUN USES This heat gun is per fect for any application requiring intense heat such as: Removing paint or putty Bending plastic pipes Heating shrink wrap film Loosening rusted metal parts, such as nuts and bolts Softening adhesive on floor tiles SUGGESTED TEMPERA TURE SETTINGS Always start a project with the heat gun at the lowest temperature to see how the object being heated will react, then increase the temperature if necessar y.

Avoid using certain cleaning agents and solvents. Chemicals like gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, paint thinner or ammo- nia products can damage the plastic parts of the tool. Use a soft dry brush to keep the intake openings free of debris. Do not immerse the tool in liquid or allow any liquid to get inside the outer casing. STORAGE Make sure the nozzle of the heat gun has cooled to room temperature before stor- age. After many uses, the nozzle will become darkened by the heat, but this will not inter fere with the per formance of the tool. ACCESSORIES Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets. If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carr y the amount of current necessar y for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi- ence a loss of power , excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge number , the heavier the cord (see table below).
