• This tool emits high temperature heat at the nozzle. Keep hands and body out
of the heated air stream and never grasp the heat gun by the nozzle. Wearing
protective gloves and safety glasses is recommended.
• Never let the heat gun operate while unattended and unplug when not in use or
before servicing.
• Do not use the heat gun near combustible materials, fumes or vapors. Good
ventilation is always advised.
• Do not heat chemicals. Avoid the hazards of ignition or the release of harmful
vapors.
• Heat guns are equipped with a circular safety stand that should be used when
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.
• Replace damaged cords immediately.
• Although the housing and handle of the heat gun are constructed of nonconducting material, do not use in wet or damp areas. Never immerse gun in
water nor stand in water or wet areas while using gun.
• It is recommended to use the heat gun indoors only. Carefully check the flammability of the material under the surface as well as the surrounding materials.
After use, make sure that the gun has not caused combustion/fire to start.
• Keep heat gun out of childrens reach and caution others of it’s extreme heat
capabilities.
• Check your electrical line and receptacle to make certain they are correct for
the voltage and amperage indicated on your heat gun. If an extension cord is
necessary, a minimum 14 gauge three-prong grounding type cord rated for
outdoor use should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating.

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.
