(See Figure A, previous page.)

2.To turn on the Heat Gun, set its Power Switch (3) to “l” or “ll”.(See Figure A.)

Switch “l” - Low temperature position (572° Fahrenheit maximum). Used for mild heating applications, i.e., heat shrink tube, heat shrink bag, plastic bending, shaping and welding, removing old paint coating. (See Figure A.)

Switch “ll” - High temperature position (1076° Fahrenheit maximum). Used for intense heating applications, i.e., frozen water pipe, defrosting refrigerator, and metal welding. (See Figure A.)

3.To turn off the Heat Gun, set its Power Switch (3) to “l”. Then set the Power Switch to “0” and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet. (This method helps cool down the Heat Element (11) properly to extend the life of the Heat Gun.)
