personal injury!
• Do not direct the heat gun airflow at clothing, hair or other body parts. Do not use as
a hair dryer. Heat guns can generate temperatures of 662° F or more of flameless heat. Contact with the
nozzle or air stream may cause serious burns.
• inspect and know your work area. Check your work area for hidden spaces before applying heat
(behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffits and other panels) that may contain flammable materials which may
ignite when using the heat gun. It may not be readily apparent if these materials ignite and could result in
serious personal injury and property damage. Avoid excessive heating which may ignite the work area or
material behind it by continuous movement of the heat gun over the work area.
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the work area. Heat guns are capable of igniting flammable
materials in or around the work area.
• Do not use near flammable liquids or in explosive atmospheres containing fumes,
gases, or dust. Flameless heat from the heat gun may ignite the dust or fumes. All materials or debris
which may be ignited should be removed from the work area.
• Shield materials around the heated work area to prevent property damage or fire.
• always hold the heat gun by its handle. Do not touch the nozzle or accessory tips, allow them to
contact flammable material, or store the heat gun until the nozzle has cooled to room temperature. The metal
nozzle may require 20 minutes or more to cool adequately before it can be touched. Contacting the heated
nozzle or accessory tips can cause personal injury. While cooling, the heat gun should be placed in a clear
area away from combustible materials while cooling to prevent flammable materials from igniting.
• Many everyday materials contain toxic fumes, which may be harmful if you are exposed.
• When not hand held, place the heat gun on a stable, level surface using non-combustible
support pads or support stand so the nozzle is directed upwards, away from the supporting surface. The cord
should be positioned so that it won't contact the hot nozzle or cause the heat gun to fall over.
• Do not leave the heat gun unattended while running or while cooling down.
• Do not cut off airflow from the heat gun by placing nozzle too close to the work piece. Do not
obstruct airflow through the intake vents. Restricting heat gun airflow may cause overheating.
• Store indoors in a dry, high location out of reach by children and untrained persons.
Do not expose the stored heat gun to moisture. Heat guns are dangerous in the hands of untrained persons.
• Do not use the heat gun in rain, moisture or submerge in water. exposing the heat gun
element to water or other liquids may cause an electrical shock hazard.
• Do not direct heat gun airflow onto glass. The glass may crack resulting in property damage or
personal injury. use the curved nozzle when working near glass to protect and prevent cracking the glass
