Assembly
• Remove the heater and all of the packaging material from the box.
• Check all of the packing material for loose parts and set aside.
• Locate the hardware package containing four screws and the handle.
• Throughly inspect the heater for damage. If any is found do not contact the place
of purchase. Please call the Manufacturer at 855-805-5745.
• Use the screws to fasten the handle to the top of the unit. Note: Do not over
tighten the screws as they can crack the handle.
Handle and Hardware pack are located in the carton loose, be sure not to throw out.
Operational Information
The DeWalt Electric forced air heaters are designed to be used by professionals.
Heat is created by electric current passing through coiled metal elements bringing them up to very high temperatures. The fan then passes room air over the hot elements exchanging cold air for warm.
The air moving over the coils keeps them from reaching temperatures that are not safe for the normal operation of the heater. However it is important to keep all combustible materials and any objects that
may be sucked into the fan blades at a safe distance (please refer to the table on the next page for appropriate distances). Make sure that the fan blades remain unobstructed at all times.
Keep unit clean and dust free. Do not block unit intake or exhaust at any time.
Review and understand all warnings in this manual. Follow all local codes.
This unit is designed to be used with 115v ac only.
This unit is supplied with the appropriate (NEMA 5-15P) plug. Do not use any plug other than the one supplied by the manufacturer.
If damage has occurred please refer to the parts listing in this manual and contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
This unit is designed to be used with a properly grounded NEMA 5-15 outlet only (show on the right).
Operation
WARNING: Outlet must be properly grounded, failure to do so may result in electric shock.

WARNING:
Never attempt to service the heater while the unit is hot, In use, or plugged in. Only
qualified service technicians should service these units.
• Throughly inspect the unit prior to use.
• Keep heater clean and free of dust and debris.
• The use of an air compressor can be used to blow out the case. Be sure to only
use moderate air pressure as to not damage any internal components.
• A soft dry cloth should be used for cleaning of outer shell and handle.
• The fan motor is sealed and does not need to be lubricated.
Starting Instructions
1. Place the heater on a stable and level surface. Insure clearance to
combustibles are observed (see table on this page).
2. Turn thermostat counter-clockwise to lowest setting.
3. Plug the heater into a properly grounded outlet.
4. Depress the power switch into the on “I” position.
5. Turn thermostat knob up (clockwise) until desired temperature is reached.
6. The Heating element and fan will remain on until the temperature
setting is reached. The unit will cycle on and off as needed.
To Stop Heating
1. Rotate the thermostat knob to the lowest position.
2. Flip the power switch into the off “O” position.
3. Disconnect plug from power supply.
NOTE: This heater is equipped with an overheat limit switch which may cause the
heater to stop. This is indicated by a visual alarm when the power switch is in the
on position and the “fault” light comes on. (fig 1) Check and remove the cause of
the overheating before restarting. Preform steps 1 through 3 of the Stop Heating
procedure above. Once the unit is cool (may take up to 15 minutes) remove the
black cap near the handle base, using a flat head screw driver if necessary. Using
a non-metallic object, depress the reset switch inside the access hole. When the
heater is plugged back into power and turned on the “fault” light will dim and the
heater may be operated again. Replace the black cap into the access hole.
