Important Safety Instructions
The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this manual
cannot cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. The
operator must understand that
common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
WARNING
This product, when used for soldering
and similar applications, produces
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
2. DO NOT force the tool. Use the
correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
3. DO NOT use the tool if the power
switch does not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any

WARNING
POISON HAZARD: Extreme care
must be taken when using a Heat
Gun to strip paint. The softened paint,
residue and vapors of the paint may
contain lead which is poisonous. Any
paint used in the construction industry
prior to 1977 may contain lead. Once
paint is applied to the surface, hand-
to-mouth contact can result in the
ingestion of lead. Breathing the vapor
resulting from the heating process
or dust from a sanding process may
also result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to any amount of lead can
cause irreversible damage to the
brain and nervous system. Young
and unborn children are particularly
vulnerable to lead poisoning.
NOTE: Before starting any paint
removal process, you should
determine if the paint you are removing
contains lead. Your local health
authority or a professional who uses a
paint analyzer can determine the level
of lead contained in the paint to be
removed. Lead-based paint must
only be removed by a professional
and must not be removed using a
Heat Gun.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Move the workpiece outdoors
wherever possible.

6
If this is not practical, keep the work
area well ventilated. Open all windows.
Place an exhaust fan in one window,
making sure it is moving the air from
inside the work area to the outdoors.
2. Remove all cooking utensils and
food from the work area.
3. Remove all carpets, rugs and
furniture from the work area where
practical. If removal is not practical,
move furniture to the middle of the
room and cover them with a plastic
drop cloth.
4. Seal off work areas from the rest of
the dwelling by sealing off doorways
with drop cloths.
5. Cover all air ducts.
6. Place a drop cloth in the work area
to catch paint chips or peelings.
7. Wear protective clothing to reduce
the amount of exposed skin.
8. Children, pregnant or potentially
pregnant women and nursing mothers
should not be present in the work area
until the work and cleanup have been
completed.
9. Use a respirator mask for dust and
fumes which has been approved by
“OSHA” or “NIOSH”. These masks
and replaceable lters are available
at most major hardware stores. Make
sure the mask ts properly. Beards
and facial hair may prevent the mask
from tting properly. Change lters
often. Disposable paper dust masks
are NOT adequate for protecting
against inhaling lead fumes.
10. Keep the Heat Gun moving while
heating the paint. Excessive heat will
generate increased amounts of fumes
which can be inhaled by the operator.
11. Keep food and drinks out of the
work area. Always wash hands,
arms and face and rinse mouth with
water before eating or drinking. Never
smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the
work area.
12. When the paint stripping operation
is completed, clean up all removed
paint and dust by wet mopping the
oors. Do NOT sweep or vacuum
dusty areas. Use a solution of
trisodium phosphate (TSP) in water to
wet mop the oors and clean all walls,
sills and any other surface where paint
dust has settled.
13. Use protective gloves to protect
your hands from burns.
14. Use extreme caution if the
opposite side of the work surface
such as siding is not accessible.
The hidden side could catch re if
it becomes too hot. Some buildings
contain ammable material behind the
siding, oors, fascia, soft boards and
other such panels. Check these areas
before applying heat. Do not use the
Heat Gun if ammable materials are
present or if you are unsure of the
ammability of the hidden material.
15. Do not use the Heat Gun near
surfaces with cracks or near metal
pipes, ashings, etc. Heat may be
conducted behind the work surface
and ignite hidden material. The ignition
of hidden material may not be readily
apparent and can cause property
damage and injury.

7
16. At the end of each work session,
place the paint chips and dust in a
double plastic bag. Close the bag
with a twist tie and dispose of it in
accordance with local regulations.
17. Remove protective clothing
and shoes in the work area to avoid
transferring dust into other areas
of the building. Wash work clothes
separately using a high quality
detergent. Wipe shoes off with wet rag
and then wash the rag with the work
clothes or dispose of it in the bag of
dust and debris.
18. Do not use the Heat Gun in the
presence of ammable liquids or
gases.
19. Do not use the Heat Gun near
combustible materials such as dry
grass, leaves or paper, which can
catch re.
20. Do not lay the Heat Gun on a
ammable surface during operation or
immediately after turning it OFF. The
nozzle becomes very hot. Always set
the Heat Gun on a at level surface
so the nozzle is directed upward and
away from the supporting surface.
21. Keep the Heat Gun in constant
motion. Do not stop or dwell in one
spot.
22. Never touch the nozzle immediately
after use. It will be very hot and can
cause severe burns.
23. Never use the Heat Gun as a hair
dryer. The extreme heat will burn your
scalp and scorch your hair.
24. Always use gloves while operating
the Heat Gun. Tools and scrapings
become very hot.
25. Always treat the Heat Gun with
the same respect as an open ame.
It can burn you and cause a re if
not handled and used with extreme
caution.
WARNING
EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD:
This heat gun produces extremely
high temperatures which can reach
up to 842° F (450° C). Use extreme
caution to prevent combustible
materials from igniting. Never use the
heat gun near volatile liquids such as
cleaning solvents, lacquers, gasoline,
etc.
Never operate the Heat Gun if the
blower motor does not turn ON. Turn
the Heat Gun OFF immediately.
Operating the Heat Gun without the
blower motor running will burn the
element out.
EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
WARNING
1. Keep the extension cord clear of the
work area. Position the cord so that it
will not get caught on the workpiece, a
tool, or any other obstruction while the
power tool is in use.
2. If an extension cord is used with
this heat gun, verify that it is in good
condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one that is heavy
enough to carry the current that the

8
tool will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, which
will result in a loss of power and
overheating.
3. The below table shows the correct
size to use according to cord length
and the amperage rating that is listed
on the tool’s nameplate.
4. When in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
5. Verify that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good condition.
Replace a damaged extension cord
immediately, or have it repaired by a
qualied electrician before using it.
Keep the extension cord away from
sharp objects, excessive heat, and
damp or wet areas.
6. Use a separate electrical circuit for
power tools. This circuit must consist
of not less than 14 gauge wire, and
should be protected by either a 15 Amp
time-delayed fuse or a circuit breaker.
Before connecting the power tool to
the outlet, verify that the switch is in
the OFF position, and that the voltage
of the power source is the same as the
voltage that is indicated on the tool’s
nameplate. Running this Heat Gun at
lower voltage will damage the motor.

HEAT GUN APPLICATIONS
The Heat Gun is a tool that can be used
for many different applications. As with
any power tool, there are many factors
that will affect its effectiveness and
safety. It is important to be aware of
these factors before you begin to use
the tool. The chart below illustrates
examples of several Heat Gun
applications and the ideal temperature
settings.
Heating applications are affected
by several factors. The density of
the material being heated, ambient
temperature, wind, distance between
the nozzle and the surface being
heated and the heating technique will
affect the speed at which the surface
will be hsated. It is always safer to start
heating the surface with the Heat Gun
temperature set to LOW. Using the
aoove chart, increase the temperature
setting to HIGH for those applications
requiring additional heat.
During the heating process, it is very
important to maintain a consistent
distance between the nozzle and the
surface being heated.
NOTE: The nozzle must be at least
2” (25 mm) from the surface being
heated to permit adequate air ow and
to prevent overheating.
Always keep the Heat Gun in motion
during the hsating process. Inadequate
motion will result in overheating and
possible damage to the surface or to
the Heat Gun.

WARNING
Everytime you use the Heat Gun, you
should verify the following:
1. The nozzle is not obstructed with
debris.
2. Appropiate safety glasses, respirator
mask and protective clothing are being
worn.
3. Area adjacent to the heating
application is clear of all combustible
materials.
4. Availability of water or re
extinguisher in case of a re.
3 POSITION TRIGGER SWITCH
The Heat Gun has a 3-position trigger
switch that acts as both an ON/OFF
switch and a temperature selector
switch (Fig. 1).
To turn the Heat Gun ON at the lower
temperature (250° C or 482° F),
squeeze the upper part of the switch
(1). To turn the Heat Gun OFF from the
lower temperature setting, squeeze
the lower part of the switch (2) half
way until it clicks into the OFF position
and the Heat Gun turns OFF.
To turn the Heat Gun ON at the
higher temperature (450°C or 842°F),
squeeze the lower part of the switch
(2). To turn the Heat Gun OFF from the
higher temperature setting, squeeze
the upper part of the switch (1) half
way until it clicks into the OFF position
and the Heat Gun turns OFF.
NOTE: When the switch is set to the
lower temperature setting, the motor
speed will be slower and there will be
a reduced ow of hot air through the
nozzle. The temperature of the air will
also be reduced to 482° F (250° C).
When the switch is set to the higher
temperature setting, the motor speed
will be higher and there will be an
increased ow of hot air through the
nozzle. The temperature of the air will
also be in¬creased to 842°F (450°C).
NOTE: When the Heat Gun is rst
turned ON, smoke may appear due to
the burning of manufacturing oils on
the element. The smoke will disappear
within ve minutes of operation.
STRIPPING PAINT FROM DWELLING
The most common application for the
Heat Gun is in stripping paint from
fascia, soft and siding of a dwelling
(Fig. 2). Although the Heat Gun will
work extremely well in this application,

10
it is important to take specic
precautions and prevent potentially
serious mistakes.
WARNING
Use extreme caution if the opposite
side of the work surface such as siding
is not accessible. The hidden side
could catch re if it becomes too hot.
Some buildings contain ammable
material behind siding, oors, fascia,
soft boards and other such panels.
Check these areas before applying
heat. Do not use the Heat Gun if
ammable materials are present or if
you are unsure of the ammability of
the hidden material.
DO NOT use the Heat Gun on surfaces
that can be damaged by heat, such as
vinyl siding, vinyl coated siding or vinyl
window frames.
DO NOT use the Heat Gun on any
glass surface such as windows. The
rapid expansion may break the glass
or damage the seal in thermo pane
windows.
The Heat Gun will soften putty in
window frames. Be careful not to
gouge the soft putty with the scraper.
The putty will rm up as it cools.
When removing paint from the fascia,
do not overheat the edge of the
shingles. Too much heat will melt the
shingles.
PAINT STRIPPING PROCESS
WARNING
Never touch the Heat Gun nozzle
during use or soon after use. It
becomes very hot and will cause
severe burns. Wear gloves to protect
your hands from hot paint scrapings.
When turned ON, the Heat Gun will
heat the paint causing it to soften so
it can be easily scraped off without
damaging the surface. Some paints
may soften when heated even though
they show no signs of blistering. Some
paints will blister when heated, while
others may become rubbery. Some
paints will require more heat than
others to soften them sufciently for
easy removal.
NOTE: Paint that has been absorbed
into the wood will not be removed with
the Heat Gun.
When working with several layers of
paint, completely heating the surface
all the way to the wood will speed up
the scraping process. This will allow
all layers of paint to be scraped at one
time.
Use a soft wire brush to remove paint

11
from very intricate surfaces. Mineral
paints and nishes such as cement
paint and porcelain do not soften when
heated, so they cannot be removed
using a Heat Gun.
For best paint removal results, move
the gun slowly and steadily forward at
an angle to the surface to be stripped.
This allows you to safely scrape
behind the hot air stream and keeps
the scraper and scraped surface
cooler. Holding the Heat Gun at an
angle also preheats the paint as you
scrape.
The chart below explains the four
zones for the paint removal process
(Fig. 3).
Zone Description
1Warm air preheats the
paint
2Hot air softens the paint
1+2 Heat penetrates
complete area
3Paint can be easily
scraped off as soon as it
is softened and the Heat
Gun is moved forward
4The cleared surface is
allowed to cool
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive
practices can damage the tool as well
as the workpiece.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to modify tools
or create accessories. Any such
alteration or modication is misuse
and could result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious
injury. It will also void the warranty.
CLEANING
Keep air vents clean and unobstructed
to allow maximum airow through the
Heat Gun.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean
cloth dampened with a mild detergent
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
DO NOT at any time allow brake
uids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come
in contact with plastic parts. They
contain cnemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this Heat Gun are
lubricated with a sufcient amount of
high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.

SEGURIDAD CON HERRAMIENTAS
ELECTRICAS
ADVERTENCIA
Lea y entienda todas las instrucciones
de seguridad. El incumplimiento
de las instrucciones enumeradas a
continuación puede causar descargas
eléctricas, incendio o lesiones
personales graves.
AREA DE TRABAJO
1. Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia
y bien iluminada. Las áreas de trabajo
desordenadas u oscuras invitan a
accidentes.
2. No utilice herramientas eléctricas en
atmósferas explosivas, como tampoco
en presencia de líquidos inamables,
gases ni polvo. Las herramientas
eléctricas crean chispas que pueden
encender polvos o vapores.
3. Mantenga alejados a transeúntes,
niños o visitantes mientras opera
una herramienta eléctrica. Las
distracciones pueden causar que
usted pierda el control.
SEGURIDAD ELECTRICA
1. Las herramientas de doble
aislamiento están equipadas con
un enchufe polarizado (una de las
palas es más ancha que la otra).
Este enchufe encajará en una toma
polarizada, invierta el enchufe solo de
una manera.
2. Si el enchufe no encaja
completamente en el tomacorriente,
invierta el enchufe. Si todavía no
encaja, póngase en contacto con un
electricista calicado para instalar
un tomacorriente polarizado. No
modique el enchufe de ninguna
manera. El aislamiento doble elimina
la necesidad del cable de alimentación
de tres clavijas con conexión a tierra
y con el sistema de alimentación con
conexión a tierra.
3. Evite el contacto del cuerpo con
supercies conectadas a tierra, tales
como tuberías, radiadores, estufas y
refrigeradores. Hay un mayor riesgo
de descarga eléctrica si su cuerpo
está conectado a tierra.
4. No exponga la herramienta eléctrica
a la lluvia o a condiciones húmedas.
El agua penetrando a la herramienta
eléctrica incrementará el riesgo de
choque eléctrico.
5. No use el cable para transportar,
tirar o desenchufar la herramienta
eléctrica. Mantenga el cable alejado
del calor, aceite, bordes alados o
Partes móviles. Los cables dañados
pueden generar descarga eléctrica.
6. Cuando utilice una herramienta
eléctrica al aire libre, utilice un cable de
extensión exterior marcado con “WA”
O “W”. Estos cables están clasicados
para uso en exteriores y reducen el
riesgo de descarga eléctrica.
7. Cuando la herramienta no esté en
uso, desconéctela de la fuente de
alimentación y guárdela en un lugar
seguro y seco a prueba de niños.
SEGURIDAD PERSONAL
1. NO opere herramientas eléctricas

en atmósferas explosivas, como
tampoco en presencia de líquidos
inamables, gases ni polvo. Las
herramientas eléctricas crean chispas
que pueden encender polvos o
vapores.
2. Manténgase alerta, observe lo
que está haciendo y utilice el sentido
común cuando opere una herramienta
eléctrica. No use la herramienta
eléctrica mientras esté agotado o
bajo la inuencia de alcohol, drogas
o medicamentos. Un momento de
desconcentración mientras se operan
herramientas eléctricas puede resultar
en lesiones personales graves.
3. Vístase apropiadamente y no use
ropa suelta o joyas.
4. Use equipos de protección
debidamente aprobados para ojos,
cara, oídos y protección de las manos.
5. Contenga el cabello largo. Mantenga
el cabello, la ropa y los guantes
alejados de las partes móviles. La
ropa poco ajustada, joyería o cabello
largo, pueden ser atrapados en partes
móviles.
6. NO desensamble la pistola de
Calor. Cuando se requiera servicios
de mantenimiento o reparación.
Recurra a un técnico calicado.
7. NO use esta Pistola de Calor para
efectuar operaciones para las cuales
no fue diseñada.
ADVERTENCIA

de alimentación antes de efectuar
algún ajuste, cambio de accesorios o
almacenamiento de la herramienta.
• Para evitar riesgos eléctricos, riesgos
de incendio o daños a la Pistola de
Calor use un adecuado circuito de
protección.
• No abuse del cable. Nunca use el cable
para transportar, tirar o desenchufar
la herramienta eléctrica. Mantenga el
cable alejado del calor, aceite, bordes
alados o partes móviles. Los cables
dañados aumentarán el riesgo de
descarga eléctrica., reemplace los
cables dañados inmediatamente.
NOTA: Si el ujo de aire está
bloqueado en la boquilla, causará
