Important Safety Instructions

8) Do not touch nozzle opening or
nozzle shield until cool. When in
"hot" mode, extreme heat is
generated at those areas. Always
hold tool by the handle or use
permanently attached stand.
9) Run on "cold" before turning off.
The nozzle and shield require
approximately 3 minutes to
become cool to the touch.
10) Do not touch work surface with
nozzle. Keep nozzle face at
least 1" away.
11) Keep a clean work area. Messy
or cluttered work areas invite
accidents or injury.
12) Keep away from children. or
persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and
knowledge. All visitors should
be kept at a safe distance from
the work area. Do not let visi-
tors touch the tool or extension
cord.
operatIng InStructIonS
Your Master Heat Gun is a heavy-
duty, industrial-quality, general-pur-
pose heat gun. You can do more
heating jobs faster with this heat
gun because of its high power and
air flow ratings.
This product provides a fast flow of
heated air for applications such as
activating adhesives, bending and
forming plastics, curing epoxies,
deburring plastics, defrosting fro-
zen coils, drying negatives and
parts, heating solids and liquids,
loosening nuts and bolts, removing
floor tiles and putty, repairing vinyl,
shrinking tubing and packaging,
softening materials and stripping
paint. It's your dependable answer,
"Wherever a fast, portable heat is
the need."
The proper amount of heat for each
application is dependent upon the
adjustment of the air intake shutter,
the distance of the nozzle opening
from the work surface and length of
time that heat is applied to the work
surface.
Before performing an application,
we recommend that you experi-
ment with a piece of scrap mate-
rial. Use care in approaching the
work until you find the proper com-
bination of shutter adjustment, dis-
tance from the work surface and
heat application time.
Use a gentle back and forth motion
when applying heat unless it is
found that a concentrated heat is
desired.

13) Use tool in a well-ventilated
area. Do not use near flamma-
ble liquids or in an explosive
environment (where fumes,
gases or dust are present).
14) Remove all highly flammable
materials and other debris from
the work area.
15) Wear safety glasses at all
times.
16) When using an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire grounded cord
with a minimum of 14 gauge
capacity. We recommend they
be listed by Under writers
Laboratories (UL) in the U.S.A.
or (CSA) Canadian Standards
Association in Canada and be
suitable for outdoor use. Cords
marked for outdoor use are also
suitable for indoor use.
17) Don't abuse cordset. Never
yank by cord to remove from
electrical outlet or carry tool by
cord.
To Operate Heat Gun
1) Plug heat gun into properly
rated outlet.
2) Move rocker switch to "Hot"
position. Heat gun will come up
to full operating temperature in
approximately two minutes.
3) Adjust air intake shutter to
desired position. Open will pro-
vide slightly cooler air. Closed
will provide the highest tem-
perature.
4) Adjustable stand is provided to
allow nozzle to be rotated from
almost horizontal to vertical
position.
5) To turn heat gun off after use,
move switch to "COLD" position.
Run on cold for approximately
three minutes. This will allow the
heat gun to cool down and the
nozzle to become cool to the
touch.
6) Move switch to "OFF" position.
When heat gun is used in an
enclosed container, such as a
shrink tunnel or special enclo-
sure, ambient air must be
allowed to pass into the heat
gun and there must be an outlet
of equal size for the heated air to
pass out of the enclosure also.
Total enclosure will cause dam-
age or possible failure to the
heat gun due to the extreme
heat generated.
(cont'd)
18) Don't remove adjustable stand.
When not hand held, place tool
on a level surface. Position
cordset so it does not cause
tipping.
19) Keep a fully-charged fire extin-
guisher close at hand.
20) Do not leave heat gun unat-
tended while running or cooling
down.
21) Stay alert. Do not operate tool
when you are tired. Use com-
mon sense and watch what you
are doing.
22) Store properly. Do not store
while hot. Store in a dry, high or
locked-up location. Keep out of
the reach of children.
23) WARNING: This product, when
used for soldering and similar
applications, can expose you to
LEAD, which is known to the State
of California to cause cancer and
birth defects and other reproductive
harm. For more information go to

How to Strip Paint
In addition to many other applica-
tions, stripping paint has become a
popular use for your Master Heat
Gun. Because of its higher power
and airflow ratings many profes-
sional restoration and renovation
contractors recognize it as the tool
of choice for tough paint stripping
jobs.
We recommend using only the
Model HG-501A (120V), or the
Model HG-502A (220/240V) for
professional paint stripping appli-
cations.
Paint Stripping Safety
Instructions
1) WARNING: With a heat gun, as
with all other heat tools, keep a
fire extinguisher handy and
observe all sensible fire precau-
tions.
We do not recommend using
this heat gun on hollow sur-
faces such as outdoor siding,
walls, soffits, panels and parti-
tions, etc. These areas often
contain flammable materials
such as dust, wood chips, insu-
lation, rodent nests and other
debris which could accidentally
ignite.
Your heat gun is best used for
stripping paint from solid wood-
work with ins and outs, such as
solid interior trim, mouldings,
turnings, doors, balusters and
porch trim, etc.
