OPERATION
INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS
See Figures 2 - 3, page 9.
Attachments are included with the heat gun to expand its
capabilities. Attachments are installed simply by placing
them on the end of the heat gun's nozzle.
NOTE: Install or remove attachments only when both the
heat gun nozzle and the attachment nozzle are cool.
Deflector nozzle: The deflector nozzle is useful for applying
heat to shrinkable tubing and thawing pipes.
Concentrator nozzle: The concentrator nozzle intensi-
fies the application of heat in a specific area. Uses for this
nozzle include bending acrylic plastic sheets and directing
heat into corners.
TRIGGER LOCK OUT
See Figure 4, page 9.
The trigger lock out reduces the possibility of accidental
starting. It is located in the handle above the switch trigger.
The trigger lock out must be pushed up before you pull
the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is
released.
TURNING THE HEAT GUN ON/OFF
See Figure 4, page 9.
 To turn the heat gun on: Depress the trigger lock out
and press the switch trigger.
 To turn the heat gun off: Release the switch trigger.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 4, page 9.
The heat gun has a lock-on button, located above handle
with the switch trigger. The button is convenient when oper-
ating for extended periods of time. To lock on, depress the
trigger lock out and switch trigger. Then push in the lock-on
button, release the trigger. To release the lock-on, depress
the trigger to release.
NOTE: You can depress the lock-on button from either the
left or right side to release.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 5, page 9.
The LED light, located on the front of the tool base, illumi-
nates when the switch trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
OPERATING THE HEAT GUN
See Figure 5 - 6, page 9.
WARNING:
Do not direct hot tip or nozzle toward clothing,
hands, or other body parts. Intense heat from tip
or nozzle can cause serious burns or cause cloth-
ing to ignite.
 Install the battery pack.
 Hold heat gun with one hand.
 Push up on the trigger lock out and depress the switch
trigger to turn on the heat gun.
WARNING:
Do not place second hand on top of tool or near
nozzle at any time. Holding the tool on or near the
nozzle can cause serious personal injury.
 Move the heat gun until the nozzle is close to the area
being heated.
NOTE: Experiment with scrap materials to determine the
proper amount of heat, distance and time for your project.
WARNING:
During heating, move the tool back-and-forth.
Avoid lingering or pausing in one spot as this
could overheat or potentially ignite the material
being heated.
 Allow the heat gun and the heated surface to cool thor-
oughly, then remove the battery pack.
HANDS-FREE OPERATION
See Figure 7, page 9.
The heat gun has a flat bottom surface that acts as a sup-
port stand to allow hands-free operation and cooling. Rest
the tool on a flat surface.
NOTICE:
Do not leave heat gun unattended while it is run-
ning or cooling down. Always set on a flat, level
surface with nozzle tip directed upwards, away
from supporting surface.
