OPERATION INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS See Figures 2 - 3, page 9. Attachments are included with the heat gun to expand its capabilities. Attachments are installed simply by placing them on the end of the heat gun's nozzle. NOTE: Install or remove attachments only when both the heat gun nozzle and the attachment nozzle are cool. Deflector nozzle: The deflector nozzle is useful for applying heat to shrinkable tubing and thawing pipes. Concentrator nozzle: The concentrator nozzle intensifies the application of heat in a specific area. Uses for this nozzle include bending acrylic plastic sheets and directing heat into corners. LOCK-OFF BUTTON See Figure 4, page 9. The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger. The lock-off button must be depressed before you pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side. TURNING THE HEAT GUN ON/OFF See Figure 4, page 9. The heat gun has a lock-off button, located on the handle above the switch trigger, reduces the possibility of accidental starting.  To turn the heat gun on: Depress the lock-off button and press the switch trigger.  To turn the heat gun off: Release the switch trigger. LED LIGHT See Figure 5, page 9. The LED light, located on the front of the tool base, illuminates when the switch trigger is depressed. If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the light to start fading and then shut off. The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged battery pack in the tool. OPERATING THE HEAT GUN See Figure 5 - 6, page 9. WARNING: Do not direct hot tip or nozzle toward clothing, hands, or other body parts. Intense heat from tip or nozzle can cause serious burns or cause clothing to ignite.  Install the battery pack.  Turn the heat gun on.  Hold heat gun with one hand. WARNING: Do not place second hand on top of tool or near nozzle at any time. Holding the tool on or near the nozzle can cause serious personal injury.  Move the heat gun until the nozzle is close to the area being heated. NOTE: Experiment with scrap materials to determine the proper amount of heat, distance and time for your project. WARNING: During heating, move the tool back-and-forth. Avoid lingering or pausing in one spot as this could overheat or potentially ignite the material being heated.  Allow the heat gun and the heated surface to cool thoroughly, then remove the battery pack. 7 - English
