Safety
Trigger
1. Press the safety trigger. This prevents the gas handle
from opening accidentally. (See Figure 2)
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. Keep the gun moving.
• Make sure the four corners of the bag are wrapped
under pallet.
