PROPANE HEAT GUN
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, 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.
Always read instructions before using tool
Always wear safety goggles
Always wear gloves to protect hands during use
Always wear breathing apparatus

WARNINGS
HAGP18
PROPANE HEAT GUN
• Read and comply with the instructions and warnings
in this manual and familiarize yourself with the Heat Gun
before lighting and using.
• This heat gun is used with a flammable product (Propane).
Failure to comply with these Warnings and Instructions
may result in an explosion or fire that may cause property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
•Review instructions and warnings periodically to maintain
awareness. Do not try to operate before reading instructions.
• This tool is to be used only with hand held Propane cylinders
specifically designated for use with torches and other heat tools.
• Keep heat gun out of reach of children and anyone who
has not read instructions. Do not point heat gun towards
face, other persons or flammable objects.
• Disconnect cylinder when not in use.
• Never attempt to modify the heat gun construction and
never use unapproved accessories or fuels.
• Although the internal nozzle flame cannot exceed the
length of the nozzle, be extra careful when using the heat
outdoors on sunny or windy days. Wind may carry the heat
back towards you or other areas not intended to be heated.
Windy conditions may also cause sparks to be blown into
other areas with combustible materials.
•Treat the heat gun as you would any fine tool or instrument.
Do not drop, throw, or otherwise abuse.
• Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning heat gun.
• Heating a surface may cause heat to be conducted to
adjoining surfaces that may be combustible or become
pressurized when heated. Always check to make sure no
unintended parts or materials are being heated.
• Work only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid the fumes from
fluxes, lead based paint, and all metal heating operations.
Be especially careful to avoid fumes from cadmium plating
and galvanized metal - remove these coatings in the area
to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating.
• Always wear safety glasses, protective gloves and use
proper tools to handle hot work (users and bystanders).
•Be aware that the nozzle of the heat gun can get extremely
hot during use. Take precautions to protect yourself and
others from accidental burns.
• Never use the heat gun on or near combustibles. Be
especially careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-
fired products and beware of hidden fuel lines and tanks.
• Always make certain the heat gun is placed on a level
surface when connected to the fuel cylinder to reduce the
risk of accidental tip over. Be sure the heat gun is not pointed
in a direction which could cause nearby objects to ignite
when the heat gun is set down.
• Never leave the heat gun unattended when lit.
• Never attempt to repair or heat a gasoline tank, a chemical
drum, an aerosol can, a compressed gas container that held
flammable liquid or gas or any other chemical. Heating these
is extremely dangerous, especially after they have been
"emptied".
• When thawing pipes, be very careful not to overheat surrounding
materials. Use heat shield.
• Always have a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water near the
heat gun and work area.
• This heat gun consumes oxygen and must only be used in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in a confined space.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal
personal injury, property damage or both.

PROPANE HEAT GUN
Connecting to US 1" Thread Propane Cylinder (CGA600 Valve)
Only connect and disconnect the heat gun to the disposable
propane cylinder outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
1.1 Ensure that the control/ignition knob (2) is turned off (turned
fully clockwise).
1.2 Keep the propane cylinder (8) upright when fitting it to the heat
gun valve.
1.3 Place the valve on top of the disposable propane cylinder valve.
(Fig.1)
1.4 Gently screw the propane cylinder into the valve. Be careful not
to cross-thread the heat gun to the cylinder.
CAUTION: Screw on hand tight only. Do not over tighten or you
will damage the heat gun seals (1) and propane cylinder seals.
1.5 Do not check for leaks with a flame. Use soapy water only,
applied to the joints and connections of the heat gun and propane
cylinder. Any leakage will show up as bubbles around the leakage
area. If you are in doubt or if you can hear, see or smell gas, do not
attempt to light the heat gun. Unscrew the disposable cylinder and
contact your local dealer.
OPERATING THE HEAT GUN
2.1 Always point the burner away from your body and any flammable
or combustible objects.
2.2 Turn the control/ignition knob (2) counterclockwise approx. ¼
turn to open the valve, press and release the ignition knob (2) to
ignite the heat gun flame. You should hear a loud "WOOSH" sound
which indicates that the heat gun is ignited and hot. Depending on
conditions, it may take up to 3 pushes of the control/ignition knob
to ignite.
2.3 Full power should be achieved with control/ignition knob
opened approx. ½ turn but this may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and contents of the propane cylinder.
2.4 Hand Protector: The heat gun has a built in hand protector/
vertical stand (3) that allows for use it the nozzle-up position. (Fig.2)
2.5 After use, ensure that the control/ignition knob (2) is fully shut
(turned fully clockwise). Take the heat gun/cylinder assembly
outdoors and unscrew heat gun from the disposable propane
cylinder.
ACCESSORIES & ATTACHMENTS
3.1 Heat Sink Cage (5). This removable accessory absorbs and
dissipates some of the heat from the heat gun nozzle and will
become very hot when heat gun in use. The purpose is to provide
additional protection for accidental contact with the user or
proximate surfaces/objects.
3.2 Deflector Nozzle (6) is used for Heat Shrink Tubing and other
similar products.
3.3 Heat Spreader (7) can be used for applying heat activated films,
shrink wraps, removing paint, caulking, and other materials.
3.4 We do not recommend use of any attachments that are not
specifically designed for this propane powered heat gun.
