Safety Instructions for Heat Guns
•
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
•
DO NOT use this tool to remove paint containing
lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may
contain lead which is poisonous.
•
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 heat gun moving in a back-and-forth
motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the
panel or the material behind it.
NOTE: These heat guns are capable of producing
temperatures in excess of 875˚ F (468˚ C).
DO NOT use this tool as a hair dryer.
•
•
DO NOT use this tool to heat food.
DO NOT lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces
•
when operating the gun or immediately after shutting
it off. Allow the tool to cool before storing. Always set
the gun on a flat level surface so that the nozzle tip is
pointed upward.
•
DO NOT use in the presence of explosive materials.
•
Keep moveable items secured and steady while scraping.
•
NEVER obstruct the air intake or nozzle outlet. This may
cause excessive heat build up resulting in damage to
the tool.
•
Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away
from other people or flammable objects.
•
DO NOT remove the heat barrel cover during use.
KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM METAL NOZZLE; it
•
becomes very hot during use and remains hot for 30
minutes after use. Wear gloves to protect hands
•
ALWAYS keep nozzle away from cord.

•
DO NOT touch the nozzle to any surface while running or
shortly after running.
•
DO NOT place anything inside the nozzle as it could
cause an electric shock. Do not look down the nozzle
while the unit is turned on due to the high temperatures
being produced.
•
Splinters and small particles of stripped paint can be
ignited and blown through holes and cracks in the surface
being stripped.
•
DO NOT apply heat to the same area for a long period
of time.
•
DO NOT burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the
nozzle at least 1" (25.4 mm) away from the painted
surface. When working in a vertical direction, work
downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool
and burning.
•
DO NOT allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper. It
could ignite.
•
ALWAYS use good quality scrapers and stripping knives.
•
DO NOT use the heat gun in combination with
chemical strippers.
•
DO NOT use accessory nozzles as scrapers.
DO NOT direct heatgun airflow directly on glass. The
•
glass may crack and could result in property damage or
personal injury.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information.
•
Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not
hand held. Place the cord in a position that won't cause
the heat gun to tip over.
•
Be constantly aware that this tool can ignite flammable
materials, soften or melt others. Regardless of the task you
are performing, shield or keep the heat gun away from
these materials.
•
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.
•
Use eye protection and other safety equipment.
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.
•
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.
Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
•
entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
