• Read important warnings on page 1 and follow
safety precautions provided with heat gun or torch.
• When using a torch use a soft yellow, low-heat
flame. Apply just enough heat to do the job.
• Keep torch or heat gun moving
continuously to distribute the heat
evenly to avoid overheating,
blistering or charring the
heating cable and heat-
shrinkable tubes.
• Replace any heat-
damaged parts.
