Introduction
The Model T10827 Industrial Heat Gun provides
a flow of heated air for applications such as paint
stripping, bending and molding plastics, shrink
wrapping, and drying adhesives. The adjustable
stand supports the heat gun, allowing both hands
to hold the workpiece in the hot airflow. Read all
instructions and safety material before operating
the heat gun.
To adjust the amount of heat applied to your work-
piece, adjust the air intake shutter, the distance
between the nozzle opening and the workpiece,
and the length of time heat is applied to the work-
piece.
To operate heat gun:
1. Make sure rocker switch (see Figure 1) is set
to OFF.
2. If using adjustable stand, thread stand into
one of three mounting holes on heat gun
body.
3. Adjust air intake shutter (see Figure 1) to
desired position. Opening shutter provides
slightly cooler air. Closing shutter provides
the highest temperature.
4. Plug heat gun into power supply.
5. Move rocker switch to HOT position, and wait
approximately 2 minutes for it to reach oper-
ating temperature before beginning heating
operation.
6. When finished with heating operation, move
switch to COLD position and allow heat gun
to run for 2–3 minutes to cool off.
7. Move rocker switch to OFF position.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM BURNS AND
FIRE. Avoid contact with nozzle of heat gun dur-
ing and immediately after use, and never direct
hot airflow at others to reduce risk of serious
burns, or clothing catching on fire. Never use heat
gun as a hair dryer. Do not wear clothing, apparel
or jewelry that can become ignited by airflow.
Always tie back or cover long hair.
REDUCE RISK OF LEAD EXPOSURE. Never
remove lead-based paint with a heat gun. Lead-
based paint should only be removed by a profes-
sional. Always use a respirator designed to filter
lead and use adequate ventilation when stripping
paint with a heat gun.
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS.
This tool can ignite explosive or flammable mate-
rials nearby. Move these materials a safe dis-
tance away, always check hidden areas before
applying heat, and keep moving tool in a continu-
ous, back-and-forth motion. Always keep a fire
extinguisher on hand.
AVOID UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never
leave tool running while unattended. Turn tool off,
unplug, and allow nozzle to cool after use.
AVOID SUDDEN STARTUP. Firmly grip tool. Do
not keep finger on switch while carrying.
USE TOOL FOR INTENDED PURPOSE. Never
modify, alter, or use tool for a purpose not intend-
ed by the manufacturer or serious injury or death
may result!
AVOID AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when operating
tool. Do not overreach! Avoid hand positions that
make tool control difficult or increase the risk of
accidental injury.
AVOID DISTRACTIONS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from work area.
Stop using tool if they become a distraction.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing tool from power, pull the plug—NOT the
cord. Carrying or pulling the cord may damage
wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh
chemicals, sharp edges, moving parts, and wet/
damp locations. Damaged cords increase risk of
electrocution.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the tool! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].
The primary risks of operating a heat gun are as follows: You can be seriously burned or set
your clothes on fire. Hot air can ignite explosive or flammable materials, if nearby. To reduce
your risk of serious injury when operating this tool, completely heed and understand the fol-
lowing.
When operating heat gun, always keep
nozzle at least 1" away from work to prevent
premature failure of heating element.
This tool MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
