Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 5.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. 3RZHUWRROVFUHDWHVSDUNVZKLFK

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.8QPRGLILHGSOXJVDQGPDWFKLQJ outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.:DWHUHQWHULQJDSRZHUWRRO will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
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.$PRPHQWRILQDWWHQWLRQZKLOHRSHUDWLQJ SRZHUWRROVPDUHVXOWLQVHULRXVSHUVRQDOLQMXU

with Two Prong Plugs

6. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)

7. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. 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 modify the plug in any way.

8. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
9. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
10. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

2. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
3. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
1. A short power-supply cord (or short detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Uses
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Make sure that Power Switch is in the off-position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before adjusting tool or installing accessories.
The low 120°F setting of the Heat Gun can be used for cooling.
The high heat settings of Heat Gun can be used for:
· Shrinking of shrink tubing, packaging and electrical components.
· Deforming of articles made from acrylic, PVC, and polystyrene tubing, plates, and profiles.
· Welding of thermoplastic polymer, flooring materials of PVC and linoleum, PVC-coated fabric, wallpaper, tarpaulins and foils.
· Soldering of tin, special silver solder, SMD elements, cable lugs, and for loosening soldered connections.
· Paint removal. Removal of old coatings of oil paint, varnish, and synthetic plaster.
· Drying of color shade samples, filter, adhesives, construction joints and stucco forms.
· Joining adhesives. Large surface gluing with contact adhesives, activation of pressure, or heat sensitive adhesives, acceleration of bonding processes, releasing of bonding points as well as releasing or bonding of edge bond or veneer.
· Defrosting of icy stairs and steps, door locks, trunk lids, car doors or metal water pipes.
· Disinfection. With the tool set at the highest setting, animal sites/stables may be disinfected. Wood worm infestation may be controlled. Do not heat up the wood surface too much or it can burn.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Remove all flammable and heat sensitive materials from the work area.
6. Plan an insulated, non-flammable surface for the gun to cool down on after use.
7. Keep multiple class ABC fire extinguishers readily accessible while working and while workpiece cools.
General Operating Instructions

1. Plug the Power Cord of the tool into a 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.

WARNING! To prevent personal serious injury or property damage, do not leave the Heat Gun unattended while pointed at surfaces or objects.
CAUTION! Do not touch work area with the Heat Gun; it could scorch or ignite.
CAUTION! Do not block Air Vents when Heat Gun is in use, it could cause the tool to over-heat.
2. Press the Power Switch on the rear panel of the unit. Press once to power ON and again to power OFF.
3. The Heat Gun will start at the lowest temperature of 120°F. A little smoke may emit from the unit for a short time. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
4. Press the Temperature buttons to adjust temperature. A short press will adjust in ten-degree increments. A long press will increase temperature quickly.
5. Allow the Heat Gun one minute to build up to the desired heat level.
6. The Temperature Display will change as the temperature resets and will stabilize when the unit reaches the setting temperature.
7. To change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, press and hold the Cool Down button then press and release the Power button.

Power Button

Cool Down Button

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

8. Choose the appropriate heat level and fan output for the job. Press the Fan Speed buttons to adjust speed.
