HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
This heat gun produces extremely high temperatures, as high as 400°C (752°F).
lt must be used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting.
PREVENTION:
• Keep the gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.
• Use extreme caution if the other side of the material being scraped is inaccessible, such as hause
siding. The hidden side could catch on fire if it becomes too hot. Some buildings contain highly
flammable materials behind siding, floors, facia, soffit boards and other panels. Check these areas
before applying heat and do not use a heat tool if flammable materials are present or if you are
unsure of the hidden material.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or flashing. Heat may be conducted
behind the work surface and ignite hidden material. The ignition of hidden materials may not be
readily apparent and can result in property damage and injury.
• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, and paper which can scorch and
catch fire.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when operating the
gun or immediately after shutting the gun off. Always set the gun on a flat level surface so that the
nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
• Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves when scraping.
• Always treat the hot air units with the same respect as an open flame.
HAZARD: ELECRIC
May cause property damage, severe injury or loss of life.
PREVENTION:
• Do not disassemble the heat gun.
• Do not work in wet areas or expose the heat gun to rain.
• Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, aluminum ladders or other grounded devices.
• Do not abuse the electric cord. Never carry the heat gun by the cord or yank on the cord to
disconnect if from the power supply. Keep the electric cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
lnspect the cord for wear or damage regularly.
• Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use. lf an extension cord is damaged or otherwise
unsuitable for use, replace it with a new cord.
• This heat gun has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. lf the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. lf it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
