Operating Instructions (cont’d)
4)Adjustable stand is pro- vided to allow nozzle to be rotated from almost hori- zontal 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 out- let of equal size for the heated air to pass out of the enclosure also. Total enclosure will cause damage or possible fail- ure to the heat gun due to the extreme heat generated.
Typical Applications
How to Strip Paint
In addition to many other applications, stripping paint has become a popular use for your Master Heat Gun. Because of its higher power and airflow ratings many pro- fessional restoration and reno- vation contractors recognize it as the tool of choice for tough paint stripping jobs.

Paint Stripping Safety Instructions
1)WARNING: With a heat gun, as with all other heat tools, keep a fire extin- guisher handy and observe all sensible fire precautions.
We do not recommend using this heat gun on hollow surfaces such as outdoor siding, walls, sof- fits, panels and partitions,
etc. These areas often con- tain flammable materials such as dust, wood chips, insulation, rodent nests and other debris which could accidentally ignite.
Your heat gun is best used for stripping paint from solid woodwork with ins and outs, such as solid interior trim, mouldings, turnings, doors, balusters and porch trim, etc.
When stripping paint, always keep the heat gun moving in a continuous back and forth motion. Stopping or pausing too long in one spot could ignite the surface you are working on or the area behind it.
2)Do not breathe or swallow lead based paint in any form. Many old homes and other buildings contain lead based paint. Dust, scrap- ings, residues and vapors of lead based paint are extremely poisonous. Prevent possible lead
poisoning when stripping this type of paint by using adequate ventilation (such as a window fan in the exhaust mode), and keeping a clean work area. When dust or vapors are present, use a respirator designed to filter lead. Move work outside when possible.
Failure to follow adequate safety precautions when working with lead based paint could result in lead poisoning. See our Paint Stripping instructions for more information.
3)Keep away from chemical paint strippers which can ignite or release harmful vapors.
4)Use adequate ventilation (such as a window fan in the exhaust mode) and keep your work area clean.
5)Wear gloves and safety glasses at all times.
