2. Safety Instructions
Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Read All Instructions: Familiarize yourself with the heat gun's operation and safety guidelines before use.
- Personal Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from debris and heat. Heat-resistant gloves are recommended.
- Work Area: Ensure your work area is well-ventilated and free from flammable materials. Do not use in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Electrical Safety: The heat gun operates on US 110/120V. Ensure the power outlet matches the tool's requirements. Do not expose the heat gun to rain or wet conditions. Do not abuse the cord.
- Heat Hazard: The nozzle and accessories become extremely hot during and after use. Avoid direct contact. Allow the tool to cool completely before storing.
- Overload Protection: This heat gun is equipped with an overload protector that automatically stops operation if it overheats. If this occurs, turn off the tool, unplug it, and allow it to cool before resuming use.
- Initial Use Smoke: During the first few uses, the heat gun may emit a slight amount of smoke. This is normal and results from the drying of internal mica paper glue. It will dissipate once the glue has fully evaporated and does not affect performance or safety.
- Proper Distance: Maintain a distance of 20-25mm (approximately 0.8-1 inch) between the nozzle and the workpiece. Operating too close can cause the heat gun to enter a cooling cycle, blowing cold air for 15-20 seconds before reheating.
