8. Inspect tool before every use; do not use if parts are
loose or damaged.
9. Do not alter this product in any way.
10. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to
force a small tool or attachment to do the work
of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool whose
performance is not adequate for your work. Do
not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
11. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electri-
cal shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should
also be implemented – it prevents sustained
electrical shock.
12. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock. Do not use tool if plug is
damaged.
13. 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.
14. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
15. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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. Do not use tool if cord is
damaged.
16. When operating a power tool outdoors, use only
a 3-wire grounded cord with a wire size of 14
gauge or larger. We recommend they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in the USA or (CSA)
Canadian Standards Association in Canada and be
suitable for outdoor use. Cords marked for outdoor
use are also suitable for indoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
17. 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.
18. Use power tool ONLY on adequately rated
circuits to avoid overheating of electrical systems.
19. Prevent accidental starting. Ensure switch is in
the “OFF” position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch “ON” invites accidents.
20. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
21. Do not disassemble the heat gun.
22. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
23. Never let the power tool operate while unattended
and unplug when not in use or before servicing.
24. EXPLOSION AND FIRE PREVENTION. This
power tool produces extremely high temperatures,
It must be used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting. To prevent potential
explosion or re, the following precautions should
be followed:
• Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings,
oors, soft boards and other panels may contain
ammable materials that could be ignited by the
power 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.
• DO NOT use this power tool on hollow surfaces
such as outdoor siding, walls, softs, panels
and partitions, etc. Areas like this often contain
3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ammable materials such as dust, wood chips,
insulation, rodent nests and other debris which
could accidentally ignite. Use your heat gun for
stripping paint from solid woodwork with ins and
outs such as solid Interior trim, moulding, turnings, doors, balusters and porch trim, etc.
• When working in these locations, keep the power
tool moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel
or the material behind it.
• Use extreme caution if the other side of the
material being scraped is inaccessible, such as
house siding. The hidden side could catch on
re if it becomes too hot. Some buildings contain
highly ammable materials behind siding, oors,
facia, soft boards and other panels. Check
these areas before applying heat and do not use
a heat tool if ammable materials are present or if
you are unsure of the hidden material.
• When working with plastics, varnish, or similar
materials, gases develop that are easily am-
mable and can lead to explosions.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near
metal pipes or ashing. Heat may be conducted
behind the work surface and ignite hidden
material. The ignition of hidden materials may not
be readily apparent and can result in property
damage and injury.
• Do not use power tools in the presence of ammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as
dry grass, leaves, and paper which can scorch
and catch re.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat
gun on ammable surfaces when operating the
gun or immediately after shutting the gun off.
Always set the gun on a at, level surface so that
the nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from
the supporting surface.
• Do not point the power tool at people or animals
The intense heat can injure them.
• NEVER direct tool at clothing, hands or other
body parts. NEVER USE AS A HAIR DRYER.
• This power tool emits high temperature heat
at the nozzle. Keep hands and body out of the
heated air stream and never grasp the power
too by the nozzle. Wearing protective gloves and
safety glasses is recommended.
• NEVER touch work surface with nozzle. Keep at
least 1" away.
• Do not heat chemicals. Avoid the hazards of
ignition or the release of harmful vapors.
• Do not use the Heat Gun on glass.
• Always hold tool by the handle or use the
included stand. NEVER touch the nozzle opening
or nozzle shield until the tool is cool.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To
avoid burns, use work gloves when scraping.
• Always treat the hot air units with the same
respect as an open ame.
• Because this power tool has the appearance of
a household hair dryer, keep out of the reach of
children and advise other persons having access
to it of its high heat capabilities.
• WARNING: With a heat gun, as with all other
tools, ALWAYS KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
HANDY and be sure to observe sensible re
precautions.
25. LEAD POISONING PREVENTION. Extreme
care should be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain
lead, which is poisonous. Any paint applied to
homes before 1950 is likely to contain lead. Any
paint manufactured before 1977 may contain
lead. Once the paint is 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 to lead poisoning. Before beginning
any paint removal process you should determine
whether the paint you 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
heat gun. To prevent potential lead poisoning, the
following precautions should be followed:
• 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.
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture,
clothing, 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 or potentially pregnant
women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all
cleanup is complete.
• Wear a dust respirator mask of a dual lter
respirator mask for dust and fumes which has
been approved by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) the National
Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the

OPERATION
8. Tip: Operate the heat gun in the "I" position (Cold) for two - three (2-3) minutes
before switching to "OFF" position. This
allows the heat gun to cool down and
the nozzle to become cool to the touch.
9. Move switch to "OFF" position.
NOTE: For the best operating results,
perform a trial test on all materials.
PAINT STRIPPING
1. To strip paint, turn heat gun on and hold
it about one (1) inch from the surface
being stripped. Proper distance and
speed of stripping should be determined
by experience. It is best to hold the gun
further from the surface and to move
forward slowly. Slower speed is made up
for by the wider softened areas. Heat will
also penetrate deeper.
2. Regulate the outlet temperature by usIng
"I" or "II" power switch settings. Try dif-
ferent settings to nd the best result with
the paint you are stripping.
3. As paints starts to blister and bubble,
move gun slowly and steadIly across the
NOTE Always set the heat gun upright af-
ter it is turned off, either for a short
break or for storage. Avoid laying
the unit on the side after shutdown.
The heat will remain in the unit and
cooling will take longer. Store the
unit only after the nozzle is cool.
Unplug the unit before storing to
prevent accidental startup.
surface. Follow closely with a scraping
knife (a two (2) inch wall scraper works
best) to remove the loosened paint. To
increase the speed of stripping the paint,
preheat the scraper as you move along
the work surface with the heat gun.
4. When stripping paint from grooves in
moulding, you may need to devise your
own scraping tools. Many people use
old screwdrivers with ground-down
blades and linoleum knives to do the job.
5. When the job is completed, move power
switch to "I" position. Operate blower for
a few minutes on cool.

GROUNDING
WARNING: Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never
remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or
plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required”
have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected
to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire
in the cord must be the only wire connected
to the tool’s grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically “live”
terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
Figure A
grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the following illustration. (See
Figure A)
1. 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. (See Figure B.)
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration. (See Figure B.)
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets. If
6
Figure B
you must use an extension cord, be sure
that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your
power tool. If not, your tool may experience a loss of power, excessive voltage
drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see table
