Black & Decker HG1300 instruction manual Tool Operation, USE of Extension Cords, Motor, Switchb

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper
size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see
chart below.	Volts			Minimum Gage for Cord Sets

	120V				26-50		51-100	101-150

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 VoltsAC only means your
tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A
rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC
power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of
power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Tool Operation

SWITCHB

The position of the switch controls both the fan speed and

the heat output of the gun.

• Toturn the tool on in low speed, low heat, depress the side of the switch marked “I”.

• Toturn the tool on in high speed, high heat, depress the side of the switch marked “II”.

• Toturn the tool off, return the switch to the middle position marked “O”. 6
