READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
nDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
nKeep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
nUse safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
nDo not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
nDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
nDo not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
nKeep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
TOOL USE AND CARE
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
nUse clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
nDo not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-
cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
nDouble insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three-
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
nDo not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
nDisconnect the plug from power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
nStore idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
nMaintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
nCheck for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
nUse only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
nAvoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
nTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not ex-
pose this product to rain or moisture. Store indoors.
nDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
n
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
nStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
nDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
nInspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
nHeat guns produce very high temperatures and must
be used with caution to prevent combustible material
from igniting. Keep tool in constant motion; do not
stop or dwell in one spot. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of fire or serious personal injury.
nCheck damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
nExcessive heat can generate fumes which may be
dangerous when inhaled. Wear a dust respirator mask
or dual filter respirator mask when using the heat gun.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
n Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher close at hand
for emergency use. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of fire or serious injury.
nMake sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
nDo not leave the heat gun unattended while running or
cooling down. Always set tool on a flat, level surface
so nozzle tip is directed upwards, away from support-
ing surface, while running or cooling down. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of fire or serious injury.
nKnow your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
nSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
nAlways wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Fumes created by heating some materials may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An un-
dersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
WARNING:
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is desig-
nated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s in-
ternal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
**Ampere rating (on tool faceplate)
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performedonlybyaqualifiedservicetechnician. Forservice,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-
ment parts when servicing.

OPERATION
READ THIS INSTRUCTION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Use extreme care when stripping paint. The peelings,
residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead, which
is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and
paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain
lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low
levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage; young and unborn children are par-
ticularly vulnerable. Before beginning any paint removal
process, you should determine whether the paint you are
removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a paint
analyzer to check lead content of the paint to be removed.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY
A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED
USING A HEAT GUN.
