Chicago Electric 96289 Set Up And Operating Instructions Manual page 6

• The Nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the Heat Gun on flammable surfaces
when operating the Gun or immediately after turning the Gun off. Always set
the Heat Gun on a flat, level surface so that the Nozzle tip is directed upwards
and away from the supporting surface.
• Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet
cloth to clean all walls, sills, and any other surface where paint 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.
• At the end of each work session, place the paint chips and debris in a double
plastic bag. Then close the bag with tape or twist ties and dispose of properly.
• 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 cloth that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and
body thoroughly with soap and water.
5. This Heat Gun can ignite combustible fluids and gases. Do not work in a
potentially explosive environment. Check the surrouding area before starting the
work. Do not work on fuel or gas containers or in their vicinity, even when they
are empty.
6. Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards, and other
panels 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 people.
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.

heating element or the Nozzle leads to skin burns. Do not touch the tube of the
heating element or the Nozzle when they are hot. Do not use the Heat Gun as a
hair dryer. Do not use the unit to heat up fluids or to dry objects or materials that
are destroyed through the influence of hot air.
