START-UP
Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds to fully
pressurize hose. You will hear the flow check valve open
with an audible click.
1. Press the safety trigger. This prevents the gas handle
from opening accidentally.

SAFETY
TRIGGER
2. Slowly squeeze the gas handle until the igniter fires
with an audible click. (See Figure 2)
CAUTION! GUN WILL IGNITE.
IMPORTANT:
• Squeezing the gas handle too quickly will cause
the igniter to fire the spark plug before the gas
mixture is ready.
• If gun fails to fire fully, release BOTH the safety
trigger and gas handle to reset the igniter. Then
repeat the starting procedure.
• For thinner films set the regulator for lower pressure
and adjust up for thicker films. Factory preset is 22
PSI.
USING THE HEAT GUN
Use gun only in well-ventilated areas.
WARNING! Do not operate gun in areas
with flammable gases or where smoking is
prohibited.
IMPORTANT HEAT SHRINK TIPS:
• Heat only softens film. Shrinking occurs as film cools.
Do not concentrate heat and wait for film to shrink
before moving the gun.
• Keep the gun moving. With a little practice, you can
hold the gun closer to the film and shrink a pallet in
less than 2 minutes.
• Make sure the four corners of the bag are wrapped
under pallet.

PALLETIZING
1. Elevate pallet load approx. 6" from floor. Leave
area under the four corners clear.
2. Carefully fit pallet bag over load. Do not
puncture or tear the bag. Bag should fit snugly
over load and overlap the base of the pallet
almost to the floor.
3. Shrink Bottom: Ignite gun and hold about 12"
from film.
a. Move around pallet applying heat to the
bottom edge of the bag and blow it under
the pallet.
b. Shrink film to grip bottom of pallet firmly,
locking bag to pallet and unitizing load.
4. Shrink Sides: Do one side at a time.
a. Holding gun 12" from film, shrink side by
sweeping gun smoothly across the bottom
edge.
b. Move up one foot and sweep back,
continue to move up and sweep across the
side until you reach the top.
IMPORTANT! Keep gun moving at all times.
c. Repeat for the remaining sides.
5. Shrink Top. Since top is already pulled taut by
the four sides being shrunk, this requires less heat
than shrinking the sides.
PATCHING
Patch holes easily: Lay a square of film over the hole
and apply heat to the edges to weld patch to bag. Also
useful for reinforcing edges or corners.
SHRINK WRAPPING LARGE OR ODD-SHAPED
LOADS
Wrap objects too big to fit under a bag by joining
several sheets of shrink film together.
1. Adjoining sheets should overlap 18".
2. Secure sheets using the weight of the load at the
base or with battens tacked to the skids.
