ities contains chemicals known to the State of Califor-
nia 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.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activ-
ities. Wear protective clothing and wash areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chem-
icals.

ELECTRICAL
USING EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized ex-
tension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a
loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3 prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by (UL) should be used.
Amp Rating (AMP) 0-6 6-10 10-12 12-16
Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.) American Wire Gauge
25’ 16 14 14 14
50’ 16 14 14 12
100’ 14 12 10 Not Recommended
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
the letters WA or W on the cord’s jacket.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The precision built electric motor should be connected
to a power supply that is 120 volts/60Hz AC only. Do not
operate this product on DC. If there is a substantial drop
in voltage, it may lose power, causing the motor to over-
heat. If the product does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, check on the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The speed changes depending on voltage. It’s very im-
portant the wiring in the shop leading to your product be
properly installed. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that
a line that can support one power tool may not have the
ability to handle two or three.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. If
the product malfunctions or breaks down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The plug provided should not be modied. If it will not
t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-
ed electrician. Improper use of the equipment-ground-
ing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded,
check with a qualied electrician or service personnel.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
POWER SUPPLY
Make sure your power supply is appropriate for this heat
gun. Keep in mind that 120 volts AC only means that your
tool will work on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not
attempt to use AC tools on DC power. If the rating is 120
volts AC/DC, this also means the tool will work on standard
60 Hz household power. This information is available on
the nameplate. If lower voltage is used, there will be a loss
in power, which can result in over-heating.
WARNING:
Be sure to keep the cord in a position where it will not
get caught on tools or other obstructions while you are
working. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
If extension cords are damaged, replace them imme-
diately. Electrical shock and/or serious injury can result
from using any tool with a damaged cord.

OPERATING THE HEAT GUN
The switch can be adjusted to control both the heat out-
put and the fan speed. The temperature adjustment knob
is used in combination with the switch to nd the proper
setting.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “I” for
low air speed/heat.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “II” for
high air speed/heat.
• Slide the switch to the position marked with “0” to
turn it o.
• Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature.
• Turn the knob counter-clockwise to lower the air
temperature.
PAINT REMOVAL
Proper paint removal is in fact quite a developed skill. A
few simple projects should help you rene your technique.
Start by turning on the heat gun and holding it with the
nozzle around one inch from the surface you’re planning
to strip. The paint should start to blister once it’s ready
to be stripped. You can then scrape it with even, smooth
strokes. If the paint is hot enough and the scraper is ap-
propriate for the surface being stripped, the paint should
come o in a way that mirrors the size of the scraper. Keep
the heat gun slightly ahead of the scraper to make sure the
paint is softened. Moving the heat gun slowly, but steadily
is the ideal way to distribute heat. Remember that the bits
and pieces can be ammable, and may ignite. Take care,
keeping that in mind.
TIPS FOR PAINT STRIPPING
Some paints will become more dicult to strip if they are
heated for too long. Be sure to try a few variations to get
the technique down based on the paint being stripped.
Paint should be removed immediately after being heated
as it will cool and harden again.
If a window frame is being stripped, do not allow the heat
gun to stay focused on an area on the glass as it can cause
it to crack. Instead, use some type of non-ammable ma-
terial to shield the glass o.
MORE THAN A PAINT STRIPPER
Don’t forget that this heat gun is an extremely dynamic
tool that can be used for a lot more than paint stripping.
It can be used to soften linoleum, oor tile, loosening heat
sensitive adhesives, heat-shrinkable tubing, and even
some automotive uses such as reducing drying time on
paints and set up time on body llers. Place the heat gun
on a at surface to use it hands-free.
WARNING: The use of any accessory not recom-
mended for use with this tool could be hazardous.
Always unplug the tool before attaching or removing
accessories. Do not remove accessory tips until the tool
has cooled to room temperature.
INCLUDED ATTACHMENTS
Fan Nozzle: For wider distribution of hot air, mostly for
wider surfaces such as doors and oors.
Glass Protector: Safer to use near glass as it distributes
heat away from the area that needs to be protected.
Cone Nozzle: For more precision, this nozzle concentrates
the air into a smaller area.
Spool Reector: Dispenses the air equally around the
whole object, which is ideal for soldering pipework or
shrink sealing electrical cables.
Handheld Scraper: Convenient for scraping paint.
