SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not direct the heat gun air airflow at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use
as a hair dryer. Heat guns can produce 986°F (530°C) or more of flameless heat at the
nozzle. Contact with the air stream could result in personal injury.
• Do not use near flammable liquids or in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fumes, gases or dust. The flameless heat from the heat gun may ignite the
dust or fumes. Remove materials or debris that may become ignited from work area.
• Shield materials around the heated area to pre-vent property damage or fire.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Heat guns may ignite flammable materials left in the
work area.
• WARNING! Hot Surfaces. Always hold the heat gun by the plastic enclosure. Do not
touch nozzle, nozzle attachments or store heat gun until the nozzle has cooled to
room temperature. The metal nozzle requires approximately 20 minutes to cool before it
can be touched. Contact with the nozzle or nozzle attachment could result in personal injury.
Place the heat gun in a clear area away from combustible materials while cooling to prevent
flammable materials from igniting.
• Do not cut off airflow by placing nozzle too close to workpiece. Keep intake vents clean
and clear of obstructions. Restricting airflow may cause the heat gun to overheat.
• Place the heat gun on a stable, level surface when not hand held.
• Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or cooling down. Inattention
invites accidents.
• Do not expose to rain or moisture. Store indoors in a dry location.
• Do not direct airflow directly on glass. The glass may crack and could result in property
damage or personal injury.
