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. Do not use if in

doubt about this hazard. 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.

2. This heat gun can produce up to 1200°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 environment (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.

6. Do not cut off airflow by placing nozzle too close

to workpiece. Keep intake vents clean and clear

of obstructions.

7. Place tool on a level surface with the support

rubber ring when tool is not hand held. Place

cord in a position that won’t cause tipping.

8. Do not leave tool unattended while running or

cooling down. Otherwise risk of fire.

9. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby.

10. Do not direct airflow directly on glass.

11. Shield materials around the heated area to

prevent damage or fire.

12. Use only with 120 V AC voltage.

13. Do not use in wet conditions.

14. Not to be used by children. This is not a toy and

should be respected.

15. Do not use in bath or over water.

16. Safety glasses should be worn when using this

tool.

17. It is recommended that leather gloves be worn

when using a heat gun.

18. Always unplug after use.

WARNING

: Extreme care should be taken

when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and

vapors of paint may contain lead, which is

poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead

and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely

to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces,

hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion

of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can

cause irreversible brain and nervous system

damage; young and unborn children are

particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any

paint removal process you should determine

whether the paint you are removing contains

lead. This can be done by your local health

department or by a professional who uses a

paint analyzer to check the lead contact of the

paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT

SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A

PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE

REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.

Persons removing paint should follow these guide-

lines.

1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not

possible, keep the work area well ventilated.

Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one

of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from

inside to outside.

2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture,

clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.

3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any

residue. Wear protective clothing such as extra

work shirts, overalls and hats.

4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should

be removed or placed in the center of the room

and covered. Work areas should be sealed off

from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways

with drop cloths.

5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant

women and nursing mothers should not be

presentin the work area until the work is done

and all clean up is complete.

6. Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust

and fume) respirator mask which has been

approved by the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of

Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States

Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable

filters are readily available at major hardware

stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial

hair may keep masks from sealing properly.

Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER

MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

7. Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep

the heat gun moving as excessive heat will

generate fumes which can be inhaled by the

operator.

8. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash

hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before

eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or

tobacco in the work area.

9. Clean up all removed residue and dust by wet

mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all

walls, sills and any other surface where residue

or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST

OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent

or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop

areas.

10. At the end of each work session put the residue

and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with

tape or twist ties, and dispose of properly.

11. Remove protective clothing and work shoes in

the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest

of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately.

Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then

washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and

body thoroughly with soap and water.
