Operating Instructions
OPERATION
CAUTION: This heat gun is capable of producing up to 750° F
heat. EXTREME CAUTION should be exercised in its use and
operating environment. Read and understand the Operator’s
Manual completely before use.
The 14450 heat gun has a three position toggle switch marked OFF–
COLD–HOT.
In COLD position—only the fan operates.
In HOT position—both the heating element and the fan operate.
Before turning the gun OFF, switch to COLD and allow fan to run for
one minute. This procedure extends the life of the heating element and
prevents possible damage to the heat gun.
1. Adjust heat by turning the air regulator assembly on the heat gun
housing. Your gun’s rated temperature range is based upon the
amount of air passing through the air regulator. Turning the regula-
tor as indicated will increase or decrease the temperature.
2. To prevent backpressure and premature heating element burn-out,
keep nozzle at least 1” from surface being heated. Keep nozzle
moving—do not hold stationary on flammable materials.
3. Make certain that all ventilation areas are kept clean and free of
foreign matter. The heat gun is cleaned best with compressed dry
air. Do not insert objects through openings.
4. Care in handling is recommended to avoid breakage of the ceramic
heating element core.
