IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety

!

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock, and personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp,

wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area

well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.

3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept

away from the work area. Don’t let them handle machines, tools or extension

cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difcult to protect from injury.

4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly

installed and grounded. Grounding provided a low-resistance path to carry
electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug
in any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded according

to code, check with a qualied electrician.

5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULATION.

This tool is double insulated. It is equipped with a polarized plug. One blade

is wider than the other, so it will t into a polarized outlet only one way. If you
have difculty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still doesn’t t , do not alter
the plug; have a qualied electrician install a polarized outlet.

6. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded

surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When your
body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wherever
“live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a
danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE
TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent electric
shock if you contact a live wire.

7. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry your jigsaw by the cord or pull

on the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord from potential sources of damage:
heat, oil & solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.

8. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked “W-A” or “W”.

9. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.

10. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.

11. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.

Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach
of children.

12. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate
for which it was intended.

13. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work
of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.

14. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry; they can be caught
in moving parts. Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair and keep it from harm.

15. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you’re doing

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

produces metal lings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other
situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of ne or

coarse dust.

16. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It’s safer than using

your hands and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not

reach over or across machines that are running.

18. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and

safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and safe performance.

19. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF

position before plugging in.

20. ALWAYS CHECK AND MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ANY ADJUSTING KEYS
OR WRENCHES before turning the tool on. Left attached, these parts can y

off a rotating part and result in personal injury.

21. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF IT CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON OR OFF. Have
your tool repaired before using it.

22. DISCONNNECT THE PLUG FROM POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS. Changing attachments or accessories can be dangerous if

the tool could accidentally start.

23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t operate
any tool when you are tired.

24. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using this tool, any part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other conditions that may
affect its operation. Inspect screws and tighten any ones that are loose. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. Don’t use
the tool if switch does not turn it on and off properly.

25. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.

26. SERVICE AND REPAIRS should be made by qualied repair technicians at an

authorized repair centre. Improperly repaired tools could cause serious shock
or injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR HEAT GUN

n KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMMABLES. Do not attempt to operate this tool near

ammables or combustibles. Failure to comply may cause serious injury or

death.

n NEVER POINT HEAT GUN AT PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. Maximum heat output

approaches 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not attempt to use as a hair dryer

or similar device.

n USE A RESPIRATOR. Failure to use a respirator device for some applications

may be hazardous to your health. Paint fumes and other gaseous materials
should be regarded with great care. Always keep work areas well ventilated.
If you have any doubt about whether or not a respirator is needed, wear one.

n NEVER TOUCH HEAT NOZZLE WITH HANDS AFTER HEATING. Nozzle

retains elevated temperature long after tool has been turned off. Do not rest

nozzle on or near any ammable objects.

n ALLOW THE TOOL TO COOL DOWN BEFORE STORAGE.

n DO NOT RESTRICT THE FLOW OF AIR into or out of the tool. Nozzles that

are not designed for use with this tool can cause it to overheat.

!

!

WARNING: Never attempt to install or remove attachments when heat gun is

turned on or is hot.

1. Window/Glass / Wide Nozzle - This nozzle is helpful for working in areas where

heat must be deected away from glass panes. Heat is focused in a wide
pattern, but deected to protect panes of glass, etc. from overheating and

cracking.

2. Hook Nozzle - This nozzle can be used to wrap around piping, shrink wrap, and

other cylindrical work areas to radiate and reect heat.

3. Reduction Nozzles - These nozzles promote a focused blast of heat. When
direct, controlled heat application is required, use reduction nozzles.

4. Paint Scraper Kit - Included are three scraper blades and a scraper handle.

One for at surfaces, one for concave surfaces and one for convex surfaces.

Install appropriate blade for your work surface to scraper handle. Apply heat
to your work surface and scrape with blade as needed. Never attempt to use
scraper blades without the help of the scraper handle.

ENGLISH

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. Plug Heat Gun into standard 120 volt wall socket.

2. Before starting, it may be advisable to test the tool and attachment on a piece of
scrap material to gauge the effect of the heat.

3. Always begin at the lower setting.

4. For lower heat settings (700° F/375° C) toggle trigger switch to downward LOW
(I) position. For higher heat setting (1000° F/500° C)toggle trigger switch to
upward HIGH (II) position.

5. Direct nozzle at materials. Never aim nozzle at people, animals, or ammable

materials.

6. Hold the nozzle a minimum of 2" (50mm) from the work surface.

7. When nished return trigger switch to center OFF (0) position.

8. When nished, unplug the tool.

9. Allow the tool to cool, setting it down on the black intake cap at the back of the
tool, with the nozzle pointing up and the metal tool hanger loop supporting the
handle.

PAINT REMOVAL

1. Select the at paint scraper or, by bolting a scraper blade matching the prole

you are stripping, to the handle supplied, assemble the shavehook style paint
scraper.
