IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUNS
1. Remember that hidden areas such as those behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards
and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be accidentally ignited
when stripping paint from the panel. Such a fire would not be readily apparent, and could
cause considerable damage and danger of injury. These heat guns are capable of
producing temperatures in excess of 1000° F (538° C).
2. Do not use this tool as a hair dryer.
3. Allow the tool to cool before storing. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when
operating the gun or immediately after shutting it off. Always set the gun on a flat level
surface so that the nozzle tip is pointed upward.
4. Always use good quality scrapers and stripping knives.
5. Never obstruct the air intake or nozzle outlet.
6. Be sure to direct the hot air blast in a safe direction; away from other people or flammable
objects.
7. Keep fingers away from metal nozzle; it becomes very hot.
8. Donʼt touch the nozzle to any surface while running or shortly after running.
9. Avoid poking anything down inside the nozzle.

floors may contain highly flammable materials. Check these areas before applying heat.
