USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper
size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see
chart below.

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on
DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or
DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of
power and can result in over-heating. All Porter Cable tools are factory-tested; if this tool
does not operate, check the power supply.

The position of the switch controls both the fan speed and the heat output of the gun.
There is considerable overlap in the temperature ranges with the use of the temperature
adjustment knob.
• To turn the tool on in low air speed, low heat, slide the switch (1)
to the position marked "I".
• To turn the tool on in high air speed, high heat , slide the switch
(1) to the position marked "II".
• To turn the tool off, slide the switch (1) to the position marked "0".
