ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug tool before changing or
removing accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.To reduce the risk of injury,
do not remove or attach accessory tips until tool
has cooled to room temperature.
Installing/Removing Nozzles
1. To install, slide the nozzle onto the heat gun nose.
2. Adjust heat, airflow, distance and length of applica-
tion as necessary.
3. To remove, allow tool to cool to room temperature,
then pull nozzle away from tool.

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or removing
accessories or making adjustments. Use only
specifically recommended accessories. Others
may be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.
Selecting Temperature
The proper amount of heat for each application
depends on the temperature selected, distance be-
tween the nozzle and workpiece, and the length of
time heat is applied. Experiment with scrap materials
and start with the lowest temperature. Be cautious
when working until the proper combination of heat,
distance and time of application has been obtained.
Use a back and forth motion when applying heat
unless concentrated heat is desirable. When done,
allow the nozzle to cool by placing the tool upright on
a flat surface using the support stand areas. Place
the cord so the heat gun won't tip.
The electronic temperature control system regulates
the temperature within the tool's heating element.
Unlike non-electronic heat guns, MILWAUKEE's
electronic heat gun will maintain the temperature.
1. For Low Airflow/Low Temper
ature, push the switch to the
(I) position.
2. For Medium Airflow/Variable
Temperature, push the switch
to the (II) position. Use the
temperature
to increase or decrease the
temperature (100°F - 1100°F)
by 10°F increments.
3. For High Airflow/Variable Temperature, push the
switch to the (III) position. Use the temperature
buttons to increase or decrease the temperature
(100°F - 1100°F) by 10°F increments.
When the tool is switched OFF, the last selected
temperature is retained.
Hands-Free Use
The heat guns can be positioned upright on a stable
surface, leaving both hands free for the application.
Always place the tool upright on a flat surface using
the support stand areas. Place the cord so the heat
gun won't tip. The rear vent openings are designed
to allow air flow even when the tool is resting on the
end cap. Do not cover the vents with foreign materials
such as clothing or rags.
Types of Nozzles
• Hook Nozzle - Surrounding heat for thin pipe weld-
ing, soft soldering copper pipes, tube shaping and
shrinking of shrink tubes.
• Air Reduction Nozzle - Intensified, spot directed
heat for corners, plexiglas bending and soldering.
• Deflector Nozzle - Deflected heat protects glass
window panes when removing paint and putty.
• Air Spreader Nozzle - Directs heat over large
areas for drying, removing paint, floor coverings,
and vinyl tops.
