WARNING:
Read this instruction book before using.
To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose to rain or mois-
ture. Store indoors. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. When using electronic tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. This hot air gun operates at 1100°F with no visual indication of
temperature (no flame). Never leave device unattended. Otherwise
risk of fire. The hot air stream at the outlet nozzle will burn flesh. Do not
turn on hot air gun with hand in front of nozzle. DO NOT USE NEAR
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS. DO NOT USE FOR:
Heating car batteries Thawing refrigerator equipment.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
●
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
●
products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
●
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Heating gas engines

Cautions
1. WARNING: Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors,
soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials
that could be ignited by the hot air 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 per-
sons. Do not use if in doubt about this hazard. When working
in these locations, keep the hot air gun moving in a back-and-
forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the
panel or the material behind it.
2. This hot air gun can produce up to 1100° F of flameless heat
at the nozzle. Do not direct airstream at clothing, hair or other
body parts. Do not use as a hair dryer.
3. Do not use near flammable liquids or in an explosive environ-
ment (fumes, gases or dust). Remove materials or debris, that
may become ignited, from work area.
4. Always hold tool by plastic enclosure. The metal nozzle requires
approximately 20 minutes to cool to where it can be touched.
Do not touch nozzle or accessory tips until cool.
5. Do not store tool until nozzle has cooled to room temperature.
Place tool in a clear area away from combustible materials while
cooling.
