Important Safety Instructions
Our Master Heat Gun® and Master Varitemp® Heat Gun feature a heavy
duty, industrial quality design, with industry leading heat and airow, that
gets any job done faster.
To reduce the risk of re or explosion, electric shock and the
injury to persons, read and understand all instruction included
in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of
equipment.
• Withaheatgun,aswithallotherheat
tools, keep a re extinguisher handy
and observe all sensible re precautions.
• Keepguninconstantmotion. Do not
stop or dwell in one spot.
• Useextremecautioniftheotherside
of the material being scraped is not
accessible, such as house siding. The
hidden side could catch re if it becomes
too hot. Some buildings contain highly
ammable materials behind siding, oors,
facia, soffit boards and other panels.
Check these areas before applying heat
and do not use a heat tool if ammable
materials are present or if you are unsure
of the hidden material.
• Donotusenearsurfaceswithcracks
or near metal pipes or ashing. Heat
may be conducted behind the work
surface and ignite hidden material. The
ignition of hidden materials may not be
readily apparent and can result in property
damage and injury.
• Donotuseelectrictoolinthe
presences of ammable liquids or
gases.
• Donotusenearcombustiblematerials
such as dry grass, leaves and paper which
can scorch and catch re.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
WARNINGThis heat gun produces
extreme high temperatures (as high as
1400ºF). It must be used with caution to
prevent combustible materials from igniting.
Indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided could result in death or serious injury.

• Donotabusetheelectriccord. Never
carry the heat gun by the cord or yank on
the cord to disconnect it from the power
supply. Keep the electric cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Useextensioncordsratedforoutdoor
use. If an extension cord is damaged or
otherwise unsuitable for use, replace it
with a new cord.

PERSONSREMOVINGPAINTSHOULD
FOLLOWTHESEGUIDELINES:
WARNING Extreme care should
be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous.
Any paint applied before 1950 is likely
to contain lead. Any paint manufactured
before 1977 may contain lead. Once
the paint is deposited on the surface,
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 unborn children are particularly
vulnerable to lead poisoning.
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.

harm.
• Stayalertandusecommonsense
when operating any tools.
• Usecautionwhenoperatingthehot
air gun. Keep the hot air gun moving as

rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do
not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the
work area.

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 doorways with drop
cloths.
