GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 lter out microscopic particles
WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious personal injury.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL: 120V TWO SETTING HEAT GUN
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable 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
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in anyway. Do not
use any adapter plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated
tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damage
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear
to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a
hazard to the operator.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL: 120V TWO SETTING HEAT GUN
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the o position before plugging in.
Carrying power tool with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance
can cause an injury in an unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduced
user related hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot
safely control the tool.
TOOL USE/CARE SAFETY
• Secure the work piece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed
rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may
result in personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a
job for which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or o. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center.
• Turn power tool o, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories,
or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental
startup which may cause personal injury.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is
dangerous in the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving
parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may aect the tool's
operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may
cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the
operator's manual for recommended accessories.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL: 120V TWO SETTING HEAT GUN
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a
blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool's direction
of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause
the work piece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power o. Do not leave the tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work
piece.
WARNING
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST
OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST,
CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away
from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your
skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use
properly tting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with
soap and water.
EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power
and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge
cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one
extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the sux
"W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

SAFETY RULES. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you
can suer serious personal injury!
• Do not direct the heat gun airow at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use
as a hair dryer. Heat guns can generate temperatures of 932°F or more of ameless
heat. Contact with the nozzle or air stream may cause serious burns.
• Inspect and know your work area. Check your work area for hidden spaces before
applying heat (behind walls, ceilings, oors, sots and other panels) that may
contain ammable materials which may ignite when using the heat gun. It may not
be readily apparent if these materials ignite and could result in serious personal
injury and property damage. Avoid excessive heating which may ignite the work area
or material behind it by continuous movement of the heat gun over the work area.
• Keep a re extinguisher near the work area. Heat guns are capable of igniting
ammable materials in or around the work area.
• Do not use near ammable liquids or in explosive atmospheres containing fumes,
gases, or dust. Flameless heat from the heat gun may ignite the dust or fumes. All
materials or debris which may be ignited should be removed from the work area.
• Shield materials around the heated work area to prevent property damage or re.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL: 120V TWO SETTING HEAT GUN
• Always hold the heat gun by its handle. Do not touch the nozzle or accessory tips,
allow them to contact ammable material, or store the heat gun until the nozzle has
cooled to room temperature. The metal nozzle may require 20 minutes or more to
cool adequately before it can be touched. Contacting the heated nozzle or accessory
tips can cause personal injury. While cooling, the heat gun should be placed in a
clear area away from combustible materials while cooling to prevent ammable
materials from igniting.
• When not hand held, place the heat gun on a stable, level surface using non-
combustible support pads or support stand so the nozzle is directed upwards, away
from the supporting surface. The cord should be positioned so that it won't contact
the hot nozzle or cause the heat gun to fall over.
• Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or while cooling down.
• Do not cut o airow from the heat gun by placing nozzle too close to the work
piece. Do not obstruct airow through the intake vents. Restricting heat gun air ow
may cause overheating.
• Store indoors in a dry, high location out of reach by children and untrained persons.
Do not expose the stored heat gun to moisture. Heat guns are dangerous in the
hands of untrained persons.
• Do not use the heat gun in rain, moisture or submerge in water. Exposing the heat
gun element to water or other liquids may cause an electrical shock hazard.
• Do not direct heat gun airow onto glass. The glass may crack resulting in property
damage or personal injury. Use the deector nozzle when working near glass to
protect and prevent cracking the glass.
PAINT STRIPPING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Use extreme care when stripping paint. 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 surfaces, hand
to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to
even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage; young and unborn children are particularly
vulnerable. 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 department or by
a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead
content of the paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD
ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND MUST NOT BE
REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.

1) Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, open windows and place
an exhaust fan in a window. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.
Proper ventilation reduces the risk of inhaling fumes or dust created by using the
heat gun.
2) Remove or cover any household items in the area such as carpets, rugs, furniture,
clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
3) 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.
4) Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual lter (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 lters are readily available at major hardware
stores. Be sure the mask ts. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing
properly. Change lters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
5) Work one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center
of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed o from the rest of the
dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
6) Keep the work environment clean. Keep food and drinks away from the work area.
Wash hands, arms, face and rinse mouth before eating and drinking. Do not smoke,
or chew gum or tobacco in the work area. Paint scrapings and dust created from
removing paint may contain chemicals that are hazardous.
7) Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not
be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete.
8) Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving to prevent
creating excessively high temperatures. Excessive heat can cause paint and other
materials to burn and cause fumes, which may be inhaled by the operator.
9) Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the oors. Use a wet cloth
to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint scrapings or dust have
accumulated. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate
detergent, trisodium phosphate (TSP), or a trisodium phosphate substitute to clean
and mop the work area.
10) Properly dispose of paint scrapings. Following each work session put the paint
chips, scrapings, and debris in a double plastic bag. Close it with tape or twist ties
and dispose of properly.
11) Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid transferring
dust to other parts of the building. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
WARNING
Be aware that material behind or in between exposed surfaces
may ignite.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns and/or re, keep the tool moving at
all times over the material you are heating.
This product is a dual temperature control heat gun and uses a 3 position rocker type
switch. Moved to the center position, marked "O", the heat gun is turned OFF. Depress
the lower switch portion completely, marked "I", for the "Low" temperature range.
Depress the upper switch portion completely, marked "II", for the "High" temperature
range.
1) Plug the heat gun into a properly rated outlet.
2) If using an accessory nozzle tip, install the desired accessory nozzle tip by sliding it
on to the nose of the heat gun.
3) Depress completely the upper or lower portion of the rocker switch to obtain the
desired heat range. It is suggested that you start in the lower heat range when
beginning an operation and then move to the higher temperature range if needed.
4) To turn the heat gun o after use, move the switch to the center position, "O".
5) Allow the heat gun nozzle to cool by resting the gun on the rear air intake housing
and the handle, with the gun's nozzle pointing upward.
The correct amount of heat used for each application depends on the selected heat
range, material being worked on, and the distance of the nozzle from the work surface
and length of time that heat is applied to the work surface. We recommend that you
experiment with a piece of scrap material before performing an operation. Carefully
approach the work until you determine the proper combination of heat range, distance
from the work surface and duration of heat application.
Always maintain heat gun movement over the work surface using a gentle back and
forth movement while applying heat unless you nd that a concentrated application of
heat best delivers the desired results for a particular operation.

APPLICATIONS
WARNING
Reduce the risk of heat damage and personal injury, shield
combustible materials and areas adjacent to the work piece.
Protect yourself from hot paint scrapings and dust.
SHRINKING TUBING
Shrink tubing is most often used in place of electrical tape to hold joined wires in
position and provide insulation. When exposed to adequate heat, the tubing shrinks to
the size and shape of the wire it covers. Slide the tubing over the wire to be insulated;
hold the wire with one hand away from the hot air stream and hold the heat gun in
the other hand. Move the tubing from side to side through the heated air ow until
the tubing has shrunk. If the wire must be held with both hands, position the heat gun
with the nozzle pointed upward by resting the heat gun on the handle and the rear gun
housing. Then pass the tubing covered wire from side to side through the hot air ow
until the wire shrinks to the desired size. Remove the wire from the air ow and move
the rocker switch to the "OFF" position.
STRIPPING PAINT
1) Fit the wide "deector" accessory tip on to the heat gun nozzle. This tip will spread
the heat over a wider surface area, speeding paint removal. The "deector" tip will
also help protect window glass from cracking due to thermal shock when removing
paint near the glass.
2) Turn the heat gun on, starting in the "Low" heat setting and hold it about 1 inch
from the painted surface being stripped. The best combination of distance, heat
range and speed of stripping will be determined by experience.
3) Work small areas, moving the gun slowly over the surface. When the paint begins
to blister and bubble, move the gun steadily across the surface while scraping o
the loosened paint behind the heat gun. Use a scraper that best matches the work
surface shape and width of the paint loosened by the heat gun's path. Preheating
the scraper as you are heating the painted surface will increase the speed of paint
stripping.
4) Do not burn or heat the paint for too long since this will make the paint more
dicult to remove.
For working in conned areas, away from glass, remove the wide deector tip.
5) When the job is completed, move the rocker switch to "OFF" and properly position
the heat gun to cool, away from combustible material.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
