IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
WARNING This heat gun produces
extreme high temperatures (as high as
930°F). It must be used with caution to
prevent combustible materials from igniting.
• With a heat gun, as with all other heat
tools, keep a fire extinguisher handy
and observe all sensible fire precautions.
• Keep gun in constant motion. Do not
stop or dwell in one spot.
• Use extreme caution if the other side
of the material being scraped is not
accessible, such as house siding. The
hidden side could catch fire if it becomes
too hot. Some buildings contain highly
flammable materials behind siding, floors,
facia, soffit boards and other panels.
Check these areas before applying heat
and do not use a heat tool if flammable
materials are present or if you are unsure
of the hidden material.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks
or near metal pipes or flashing. 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 electric tool in the presence
of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials
such as dry grass, leaves and paper which
can scorch and catch fire.

• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not
lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces
when operating the gun or immediately
after shutting the gun off. Always set the
heat gun on a flat surface so that the
nozzle tip is directed upward and away
from the supporting surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has
cooled.
• Do not use the gun as a hair dryer.
• 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 flame.
• Do not work in wet areas or expose the
heat gun to rain.
• Guard against electric shock by
preventing body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
aluminum ladders or other grounded
devices.
• Do not abuse the electric cord. Never
carry the heat gun by the cord or yank on
the cord to disconnect it from the power
supply. Keep the electric cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Use extension cord rated for outdoor
use. If an extension cord is damaged or
otherwise unsuitable for use, replace it
with a new cord.
• Not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
