Important Safety Instructions
Our Master Heat Gun® and Master Varitemp® Heat Gun feature a heavy
duty, industrial quality design, with industry leading heat and airow, to
get any job done faster.
To reduce the risk of re or explosion, electric shock or injury
to persons, read and understand all instructions included in
this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of
equipment.
• Withaheatgun,aswithallotherheat
tools, keep a re extinguisher handy
and observe all sensible re precautions.
• Keepguninconstantmotion. Do not
stop or dwell in one spot.
• Useextremecautioniftheotherside
of the material being scraped is not
accessible, such as house siding. The
hidden side could catch re if it becomes
too hot. Some buildings contain highly
ammable materials behind siding, oors,
facia, soffit boards and other panels.
Check these areas before applying heat
and do not use a heat tool if ammable
materials are present or if you are unsure
of the hidden material.
• Donotusenearsurfaceswithcracks
or near metal pipes or ashing. Heat
may be conducted behind the work
surface and ignite hidden material. The
ignition of hidden materials may not be
readily apparent and can result in property
damage and injury.
• Donotuseelectrictoolinthepresence
of ammable liquids or gases.
• Donotusenearcombustiblematerials
such as dry grass, leaves and paper which
can scorch and catch re.
