setting the tool down while operating or during the cool-down period. Never
store while hot.
• Do not use adaptors or modify the heat gun plug.

UL Safety Precautions
Underwriting Laboratories, Inc., in the Eleventh Edition for Electrical Heating
Appliances, UL 499 revised May 1990, issues the following instructions:
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels
may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun 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 gun moving in a back-and-forth motion.
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
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.
WARNING
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.
