General Operating Procedures
Make sure the Power Switch (3) is in its 1. “0” (OFF) position. Then plug the Pow-
er Cord (1) of the tool into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
(See Figure A, previous page.)
To turn on the Heat Gun, set its Power Switch (3) to2. “l” or “ll”.(See Figure A.)
Switch “l” - • Low temperature position (572° Fahrenheit maximum). Used
for mild heating applications, i.e., heat shrink tube, heat shrink bag, plastic
bending, shaping and welding, removing old paint coating. (See Figure A.)
Switch “ll” • - High temperature position (1076° Fahrenheit maximum). Used for
intense heating applications, i.e., frozen water pipe, defrosting refrigerator, and
metal welding. (See Figure A.)
To turn off the Heat Gun, set its Power Switch (3) to 3. “l”. Then set the Power
Switch to “0” and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet. (This method helps
cool down the Heat Element (11) properly to extend the life of the Heat Gun.)
(See Figure A.)
CAUTION! Danger of fire. 4. Make sure to set the Heat Gun on a non-flammable
surface until it has completely cooled.
Once cooled, store the Heat Gun in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of 5.
children and other unauthorized people.

Damaged equipment can fail, causing serious personal
injury. Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or
vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Cleaning
DISCONNECT from power outlet and make sure that it is completely cooled.1.
BEFORE EACH USE,2. inspect the general condition of the Heat Gun. Check
for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken
