Operating Instructions
Your Masterflow
®
is a heavy-
duty industrial quality heat
blower. You can do more heat-
ing jobs faster with this heat
blower because of its high
power and air flow ratings.
This product provides a fast
flow of heated air for applica-
tions such as:
• Shrinking heat-shrinkables.
• Shrinking sleeves over
wires, harnesses and bottle
caps.
• Drying inks and paints on
silk screen, posters, fabrics
and papers.
Uses are as limitless as your
own ingenuity.
The proper amount of heat for
each application is dependent
upon the model number of the
Masterflow in use, the dis-
tance from the work surface,
and the heat application time.
Before performing any appli-
cation, we recommend that
you experiment with a piece of
scrap material. Use care in
approaching the work until
you find the proper combina-
tion of distance from the work
surface, and the heat applica-
tion time.
Use a gentle back and forth
motion when applying heat
unless it is found that a con-
centrated heat is desired.
2. Remove or cover any car-
pets, rugs, furniture, cloth-
ing, cooking utensils and
air ducts.
3. Place drop clothes in the
work area to catch any
paint chips or peelings.
Wear protective clothing
such as extra work shirts,
overalls and hats.
4. Work in one room at a
time. Furnishing should be
removed or placed in the
center of the room and
covered. Work areas
should be sealed off from
the rest of the dwelling by
sealing doorways with drop
clothes.
5. Children, pregnant or
potentially pregnant
women and nursing moth-
ers should not be present
in the work area until the
work is done and all
cleanup is complete.
6. Wear a dust respirator or a
dual filter (dust and fume)
respirator mask which has
been approved by the
Occupational Safety and
Health Administration
(OSHA), the National
Institute of Safety and
Health (NIOSH), or the
United Stated Bureau of
Mines. These masks and
replaceable filters are
readily available at major
hardware stores. Be sure
the mask fits. Beards and
facial hair may keep masks
from sealing properly.
Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER
MASKS ARE NOT
ADEQUATE.
7. Use caution when operat-
ing the hot air gun. Keep
the hot air gun moving as
excessive heat will gener-
ate fumes which can be
inhaled by the operator.
8. Keep food and drink out of
the work area. Wash
hands, arms and face and
rinse mouth before eating
of drinking. Do not smoke
or chew gum or tobacco in
the work area.
9. Clean up all removed paint
and dust by wet mopping
the floors. Use a wet cloth
to clean all walls, sills and
any other surface where
paint or dust is clinging.
DO NOT SWEEP, DRY
DUST OR VACUUM. Use
a high phosphate deter-
gent or trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) to, wash and
mop areas.
10. At the end of each work
session put the paint
chips and the debris in a
double plastic bag, close
it with tape or twist ties,
and dispose of properly.
11. Remove protective cloth-
ing and work shoes in the
work area to avoid carry-
ing dust into the rest of
the dwelling. Wash work
clothes separately. Wipe
shoes off with a wet rag
that is then washed with
the work clothes. Wash
hair and body thoroughly
with soap and water.

Typical Applications
How to Strip Paint
In addition to many other appli-
cations, stripping paint has
become a popular use for
your Masterflow Heat Blower.
Because of its higher power
and airflow ratings many
professional restoration and
renovation contractors recog-
nize it as the tool of choice for
tough paint stripping jobs.
We recommend using only
the Model AH-501 (120V),
AH-501C (120V, in Canada) or
the Model AH-502 (220/240V)
for professional paint stripping
applications.
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.
1) We do not recommend
using this heat gun on hol-
low surfaces such as out-
door siding, walls, soffits,
panels and partitions, etc.
These areas often contain
flammable materials such
as dust, wood chips, insula-
tion, rodent nests and other
debris which could acciden-
tally ignite.
1) 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.
1) 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, scrapings,
residues and vapors of lead
based paint are extremely
poisonous. Prevent possible
lead poisoning when strip-
ping 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.
1) 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.
6) Keep a fully charged fire
extinguisher close at hand.
7) Stay alert, watch what you
are doing, and use common
sense.
To Operate Heat Blower
1) Plug heat blower into prop-
erly rated outlet.
2) Move toggle switch to “Hot”
position. Heat blower will
come up to full operating
temperature in approxi-
mately two minutes.
3) Adjustable stand is pro-
vided to allow nozzle to be
rotated from almost hori-
zontal to vertical position.
Operating Instructions
(cont’d)
4) To turn heat blower off
after use, move switch to
“Cold” position. Run on
cold for approximately
three minutes. This will
allow the heat blower to
cool down and the nozzle
to become cool to the
touch.
5) Move switch to "Off"
position.
When heat blower is used in
an enclosed container, such as
a shrink tunnel or special
enclosure, ambient air must be
allowed to pass into the heat
blower and there must be an
outlet of equal size for the
heated air to pass out of the
enclosure also. Total enclosure
will cause damage or possible
failure to the heat blower due
to the extreme heat generated.
Please enclose a note
describing your problem and
your phone number. If still
under warranty, please
include a copy of your invoice
and date of purchase.
WARNING: Always unplug
your tool before performing
any maintenance or repairs.
Use only identical Master
Appliance brand replacement
parts.
Lubrication
Apply 2-3 drops of SAE 20
non-detergent oil to oil holes
every 6 months.
Typical Applications
(cont’d)
NOTE: Users should independently evaluate the suitability of the product for their application.

other than that recommended
in this instruction manual must

rienced with the repair of elec-
tric tools, a qualified service

Cleaning
Unplug heat blower before
cleaning. To clean outside of
tool, use only a mild soap and
damp cloth. Do not use other
cleaning agents, turpentine,
gasoline, lacquer or paint thin-
ner, or other solvents that may
contain chemicals which are
harmful to plastics and other
insulating materials. Never
immerse tool in a liquid or
allow a liquid to enter inside
the tool. Make sure all vents
and openings are free and
clear of debris.
Shrinking Tubing
Use stand to free both hands.
Slide tubing over area to be
insulated. Place in air stream
and move with a side-to-side
motion until tubing has shrunk.
Drying
Drying ink and paint on screen
prints, posters or paper may
be done manually or by
directly mounting the heat
blowers to the processing
equipment.
Shrinking Packaging
Your Masterflow Heat Blower
can be used for a variety of
heat-shrinking applications.
For example, it can be used to
shrink bottle caps manually by
gently waving the nozzle
around the cap until it has
shrunk.
One or two heat blowers may
be permanently mounted to a
conveyor system to shrink
caps as the bottles pass by.
Shrink Tunnel Systems
The Masterflow can be used
on heat-shrink tunnel systems.
It is recommended that the
blower or blowers be mounted
in a horizontal position to pre-
vent overheating of the heat
blower.

cation or use, feel free to call
