WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.

Using the Temperature Control Switch (Fig. 1-4) Cat. No. 8975 (Fig. 1)

Dual temperature control heat guns are provided with a 3 position rocker switch. Place the switch in the center position for “Low” range or press in the lower position of the switch completely for “High” range. The markings on the switch correspond to these positions:
