Hazard: eXPLOSION Or FIre
This heat gun produces extremely high temperatures (as high as 1200º F). It must
be used with caution to prevent combustible material from igniting.
PreveNTION:
• Keep the gun in constant motion. Do not stop or dwell in one spot.
• Use extreme caution if the other side of the material
being scraped is inaccessible, such as house siding.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors,
soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable
materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when
working in these locations. The ignition of these
materials may not be readily apparent and could
result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the heat gun
moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or
pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the
material behind it.
• Do not use near surfaces with cracks or near metal pipes or flashing. Heat may be
conducted behind the work surface and ignite hidden material. The ignition of hidden
materials may not be readily apparent and can result in property damage and injury.
• Do not use electric tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use near combustible materials such as dry grass, leaves, and paper which can
scorch and catch fire.
• The nozzle becomes very hot. Do not lay the heat gun on flammable surfaces when
operating the gun or immediately after shutting the gun off. Always set the gun on a flat,
level surface so that the nozzle tip is directed upwards and away from the supporting
surface.
• Do not touch the nozzle until the tool has cooled.
• Do not use the heat gun as a hair dryer.
• Tools and paint scrapings become very hot. To avoid burns, use work gloves when
scraping.
• Always treat the hot air units with the same respect as an open flame.
• A fire may result if the appliance is not used with care, therefore:
– be careful when using the appliance in places where there are combustible materials;
– do not apply to the same place for a long time;
– do not use in presence of an explosive atmosphere;
– be aware that heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are out of sight;
– place the appliance on its stand after use and allow it to cool down before storage;
– do not leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.
