Important Safety Instructions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: LEAD-BASED PAINTS. 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 your 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 be
removed. LEAD BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED
BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED
USING A HOT AIR TOOL.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) 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 tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not
immerse tool.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the 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 tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.

sense when operating a tool. Do not use a tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
English
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or energising tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
4) TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
c) Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
d) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
e) Use the tool, accessories and etc., in accordance with
these instructions taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Heat Guns
• Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards
or other panels may contain flammable materials that could be
ignited by the hot air tool when working in these locations. The
ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could
result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the hot air tool moving in
a back-and-forth motion, lingering or pausing in one spot could
ignite the panel or the materials behind it. These heat guns are
capable of producing temperatures in excess of 1000˚ F.
• DO NOT USE THIS TOOL AS A HAIR DRYER.
• Allow the tool to cool before storing. Do not lay the heat gun on
flammable surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after
shutting it off. Always set the gun on a flat level surface so that
the nozzle tip is pointed upward.
• Always use good quality scrapers and stripping knives.

• Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
• Never obstruct the air intake or nozzle outlet.
• Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away from
other people or flammable objects.
• KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM METAL NOZZLE; IT BECOMES
VERY HOT. Wear gloves to protect hands.
• Don’t touch the nozzle to any surface while running or shortly
after running.
• Avoid poking anything down inside the nozzle.
• Know your work environment. Remember that areas behind
soffit board, ceilings, and floors may contain highly flammable
materials. Check these areas before applying heat.
• Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be ignited and
blown through holes and cracks in the surface being stripped.
• Clean dry paint from the nozzle after use; it could ignite.
• Clean your scraper blade frequently during use; it could ignite.
• Do not use the heat gun in combination with chemical strippers.
• Do not use accessory nozzles as scrapers.
• Keep nozzle away from cord.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable materials,
and soften or melt others. Regardless of the task you are
performing, shield or keep away from these materials that are
close to the work area.
• You may occasionally notice some slight smoking of the tool after
it is turned off. This is the result of heating the residual oil that
was deposited on the heating element during the manufacturing
process.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. When using more than one extension to make
up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains
at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
In order for this tool to be an effective paint stripper, it must produce
extremely high temperatures. As a consequence, the stripper is
capable of igniting paper, wood, paint and varnish residue and
similar materials.
As you become more familiar with the tool and develop the
proper technique, the danger of accidental ignition will be greatly
reduced. In establishing the proper technique, the best thing to
do is PRACTICE! Work on simple stripping projects, preferably
outdoors, until you get a “feel” for how to use your stripper safely
and effectively.
AS YOU PRACTICE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
PROCEDURES FOR SAFETY:
• Always be sure the tool is turned off and disconnected from
power supply when unattended.
• Clean the scraper blade often during use. Built up residue on the
blade is highly flammable.
• Experiment to find the optimum distance from the tool’s nozzle
to the surface being stripped. This distance (usually 25.4 mm–
50.8 mm) will vary depending on the material being removed.
• Keep the heat gun moving ahead of the scraper blade at all
times.
• As you work, clean up loose pieces of paint as they accumulate
around the work area.
• When working indoors, keep away from curtains, papers,
upholstery and similar flammable materials.
• Above all, remember that this is a serious tool that is capable
of producing excellent results when used properly. Practice on
simple projects until you feel comfortable with your stripper. Only
then will you have mastered the proper technique.
PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW
THESE GUIDELINES:
• 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.
4
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, cooking utensils,
and air ducts.
• 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.
• 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.
• Children, pregnant women 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.
• 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 hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters
often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST
OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium
phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
• 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
of properly.
• 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 that is then
washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly
with soap and water.
