INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito Heat Gun. We aim to
provide quality tools at an affordable price. We hope you will
enjoy using this appliance for many years.
Your Heat Gun OZHG2000WAK has been designed for stripping
paint, warm heat shrinking and virtually to perform any task
where hot air is required. It is intended for DIY use only.
Warning! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia
and New Zealand.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool
repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS60335; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before
use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the
extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an
extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or
defective may result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Read all instructions, Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
“Power Tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction conceming use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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 earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools, unplugged & out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

TOOL OPERATION
!
!Warning! A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care,
therefore:
- be careful when using the appliance in places where there are
combustible materials
- do not apply to the same place for a long time
- do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere
- be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that
are out of sight
- place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it to cool down
before storage
- do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on
Start-up
Ensure the switch is in the off position ‘O’ before connecting to the power supply.
ON/OFF switch - Heat Setting 1:
A low heat setting may be required in certain cases, e.g. to avoid overheating
the workpiece’s surroundings or to avoid displacing the workpiece if the airflow is
too strong.
ON/OFF switch - Heat Setting 2:
A higher heat setting heats up the workpiece more quickly and enables the hot air
gun to be held at a greater distance from the workpiece.
Danger of fire and explosion!
Inflammable and poisonous gases may be produced when working with plastics,
paints (especially older types of paint), varnishes and similar materials.
The ideal temperature should first be ascertained by performing a test. You should
therefore start with a low temperature setting. The working temperature can vary
depending on the properties of the workpiece. The distance between the nozzle and
workpiece is dependent on the material to be processed.
• Removing paint/dissolving adhesives
Soften the paint using hot air and remove evenly with the scraper.
Do not heat the paint for too long since this will burn the paint, making it more
difficult to remove. Many adhesives (e.g. stickers) become softer when heated,
allowing adhesive bonds to be separated and superfluous adhesive to be removed.
•Removing paint from windows
Glass can break easily. Always use the glass protection nozzle. On profiled
surfaces, paint can be removed using a scraper and brushed off using a soft
wire brush.
• Shaping plastic tubing
Fit the reflector nozzle. To avoid kinking the tubing, fill the tubing with sand
and seal at both ends. Heat the tubing evenly by moving it from side to side.

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)
• Staining wood
Fit the Cone Nozzle. Hot air staining gives natural wood a rustic effect.
Do not hold the nozzle too close to the wood as this will colour the wood unevenly.
Carefully sand off any singed wood fibres afterwards using fine emery paper.
• Shrink fitting
Fit the cone nozzle. Select a heat-shrinkable sleeve with a diameter matching that
of the workpiece, e.g.cable lug. Heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve evenly.
• Defrosting water pipes
Do not attempt to defrost-PVC piping.
Fit the reflector nozzle. Always heat the frozen area inwards from the edge to the
centre.
Note: Water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes. Copper pipes are
joined using tin and should therefore not be heated above 200ºC.
CAUTION: This tool is designed for indoor use only. Using this tool for
prolonged periods may cause it to overheat and malfunction. Use inside
a confined area, such as a cabinet etc. will increase the temperature of
the tool – to ensure the tool does not overheat it is suggested frequent
breaks are taken to allow the tool to cool down.
• Element
Take extra care with the heatgun element. Once the element is hot it can become
fragile and break if dropped or knocked.
Before performing any maintenance, switch off and unplug the tool.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your Heat Gun using a soft brush or dry
cloth.
• Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent-based cleaner.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by
the repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
