IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not

modifytheplug inanyway.

Be sure the power supply you are using agrees with the nameplate marking on the heat

gun. The gun is designed to run on 120-volt, 60-cycle, alternating current (ordinary house

current). Voltage decreases greater than 10% can cause loss of power and possible

overheating.

The tool is double insulated for added safety. This means there are two separate layers

of insulation between the operator and the tool's electrical system. WARNING: Double

insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating the heat gun.

Double insulation acts as a safeguard against injury resulting from a possible electrical

insulation failure inside the tool.

Tool built with double insulation are not intended to be grounded. Because of this, the

gun's power cord is fitted with a two-pronged plug suitable for use in any conventional 120-

volt electrical outlet. Additional ground connections need not be made. WARNING: When

servicing double-insulated tools, use ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replace

damaged cords.

Model no. : NEG-301A

Watt : 1200W

Voltage operating : 120 VOLTS 60Hz.

Temperatures : LOW 45 C ~ HIGH 500 C

Cord length : 2 M

Weight : 0.7 KG

Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service personnel.

When working on small or irregular shaped objects, secure work in a vise or clamps.

Disconnect the tool when not in use. Avoid unintentional starting. If the gun stops during

operating, disconnect from the power supply and have gun serviced by authorized service

personnel.

Stay alert! Always pay attention to the work at hand and use common sense when operating

this and all tools. Do not operate the tool when you are tired or taking medication or drugs

that may make you drowsy.

POWER INFORMATION

TECHNICAL DATA

Before plugging into the electrical outlet, always make certain the power switch is in the

OFFposition.

When ready to begin work, set power switch to desired temperature settings. With

the heat gun, always allow a minute or so for it to reach its full operating temperature.

Always wear protective gloves and eye protection.

The heat gun is very light and easy to use. It is designed with a built-in stand so it can

be positioned in an upright (vertical) position only, on any flat, level surface. This frees

both hands to easily shape and mold PVC pipe and other materials. Remember to keep

hands away from the immediate nozzle area.

Turn on the gun and allow it reach full heating power. Hold the nozzle 3" to 4" from the

paint to be removed. After a short time, paint will soften and begin blistering. Do not overheat

paint, as this will cause burning and make the finish more difficult to remove. When stripping

paint overhead, always use eye protection.

Begin scraping the paint off, working from top to bottom. Use accessory scrapers.

Scrape with smooth, even strokes, warming the surface in front of the scraper by moving the

gun slightly from side to side. If paint is warmed properly, even thick layers can be removed

in a single pass. Paint should come off in a strip equal in width to the scraper blade.

Clean the edge of scraper often to keep it clean and sharp and to prevent paint from

building up on the blade. Scrape the paint as soon as it softens since it will quickly harden

again.

Shaped or profiled surface can be stripped with a wire brush after softening with the

hot air jet.

Cover all surfaces NOT to be heated with nonflammable material. Never concentrate

tool's heat on a window panel or other glass surface.

Never use the heat gun in combination with chemical strippers.

Use in well-ventilated areas only. Peelings and residue from lead-based paints are

poisonous.

Easy removal of paint and varnish requires some practice and the use of simple

working techniques described here. In all cases, test results on a small section of paint

before moving on to larger areas.

Note: The heat gun is designed to remove both oil and latex-based paints and

varnishes. It will not remove stains or primer coats that have impregnated the surface of

wood.

CAUTION: LEAD PAINT FUMES ARE VERY HARMFUL. ALWAYS PROVIDE

ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHILE WORKING INDOORS.

OTHER JOBS FOR THE HEAT GUN

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

WARNING : IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable

materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations. The ignition of those

materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.

When working in these locations, keep the heat gun moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or

pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.

Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain

lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is

likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, 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 and

unborn children are particularly vulnerable.

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 removed.

1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the

windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to

outside.

2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.

3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such

as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings 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.

5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the

work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.

6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved

by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and

Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily

available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hairs may keep masks

from sealing properly. Change filters often.

7. Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat will generate

fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.

8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating

or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.

9. Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills

and any other surface where paint or dust is clinging. Use

a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.

10. At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape

or twist ties and dispose properly.

11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the

dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag. Wash hair and body thoroughly

LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE

REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED-USING A HEAT GUN.

DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACCUM.
