GE ERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIO S -
READ ALL I STRUCTIO S
BEFORE OPERATI G THIS HEAT TOOL
•Do not ope ate this heat tool below 20 PSI o damage to the heat tool will
occu .
• Before using any heat tool, check all parts for proper function and damage to
component parts including the hose, regulator and heat tool.
• "Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other
panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat tool
when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be
readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the heat tool moving in a back and forth
motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material
behind it."
• Do not use the heat tool to remove paint.
• Do not point this heat tool at anyone and do not operate in an area where there
is a risk of an explosion or fire.

GE ERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIO S
• When working with any type of heat or open flame, always keep a fire extinguisher close by.
• Always wear safety glasses and gloves (flame retardant or leather is suggested)
when shrink wrapping. Never obstruct or cover the air inlet at the back of the
heat tool. If the air flow is reduced the heat tool will not work properly.
• When shrink wrapping outdoors, do not shrink wrap when the wind is stronger than 10 mph.
• When shrink wrapping indoors, make sure the work area is well ventilated.
• Keep the work area clear of debris, wood shavings, paper products, flammable
chemicals and anything else that may catch fire from the heat of the tool.
• Do not wear loose clothing while shrink wrapping and also keep long hair tied back.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the heat
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the heat tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the heat tool in unexpected situations.
• Never operate the heat tool with the combustor nozzle hard up against a surface;
this could ignite any material you are shrink wrapping.
• Do not place the combustor nozzle (where the flame comes out of the heat tool) next to
anything while it is hot. Never allow the combustor nozzle to come in contact with
clothing or skin.
4
• Do not look down the combustor nozzle while the tool is in operation or
attached to a fuel source.
•The heat tool should be kept 6” – 8” away f om the sh ink film when in ope ation.
Neve keep the heat on one a ea fo mo e than a few seconds. Once heat is applied to
the sh ink film, it will continue to sh ink even afte the heat is moved away f om the a ea.
• Never modify the tool in any way and use only Shrinkfast replacement parts.
• Never operate in a basement or closed in, non-ventilated area.
• Never operate the heat tool on an area that you cannot see.
• Always operate the heat tool with the UL®Guard installed. (UL Guard not included with
Metric style heat tools.)

REGULATOR OPERATIO & MAI TE A CE
Regulator Technical Overview:
• The M GR-6120 is a high capacity, pounds to pounds, industrial gas regulator.
It is designed to conform to UL®Standard 144 for use with LP Gas. The maximum
supply pressure is 250 PSIG. The maximum output pressure is printed on the regulator
nameplate.
• This regulator is not intended for use in pressure applications below 3 PSIG and
the heat tool should not be operated at a pressure below 20 PSIG. The operating
temperature range is -40 to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is a variable regulator assembly and the heat tool will operate
properly between 20 PSI and 30 PSI. The pressure can be changed by
loosening the hex nut located under the black, round hand wheel on the
regulator assembly and then turning the hand wheel to the desired pressure.
However, the optimum and factory recommendation is that you do not
adjust the pressure and keep the regulator set at the factory setting of 22 PSI.
Regulator Installation:
1.Remove the yellow cap from the POL (brass, bull nose fitting) and connect the
POL to your propane tank and tighten with the supplied wrench (all threads
are left handed thread, so tighten counter clockwise).

2.Connect one end of the supplied 25’ hose to the hose adapter on the regulator
and the other end of the hose to the heat tool. Tighten all fittings with the
supplied wrench (left handed threads, so tighten counter clockwise).
3.Open the propane tank valve and check for any leaks by spraying a soapy
water mixture on the fittings. If any bubbles are visible, shut off the propane
tank and tighten the fittings.
4.When you first turn on the propane tank, the pressure gauge on the regulator
will slowly move toward the factory setting of 22 PSIG. Once the hose is fully
pressurized, the needle on the gauge will stop at 22 PSIG. Now the heat tool is
ready to be fired.

To open the flow of
propane, turn the tank
hand wheel in a counter
clockwise motion and
watch the regulator gauge.

STARTI G THE HEAT TOOL
1.With your fingertips, pull the yellow safety first. If you do not pull the safety first,
you will not be able to depress the trigger with the palm of your hand and ignite the
heat tool.
2.With the safety pulled, slowly depress the trigger with the palm of your hand so you
first hear a slight “hissing” of propane flow, then depress the trigger completely
and the heat tool will “click” then ignite.
3.Should the gun fail to ignite, release both the safety and trigger fully to ensure
that the igniter is reset and repeat the starting procedure.
WAR I G: MA Y EW USERS DEPRESS THE TRIGGER TOO
QUICKLY A D MULTIPLE TIMES BELIEVI G THIS IS THE BEST
WAY TO IG ITE THE HEAT TOOL. DEPRESSI G THE TRIGGER TOO
QUICKLY DOES OT ALLOW THE PIEZO CRYSTAL I SIDE THE
IG ITER TO SE D PROPER VOLTAGE TO THE SPARK PLUG, SO
DEPRESS THE TRIGGER SLOWLY I ORDER TO IG ITE EVERY TIME.
WAR I G: DO OT TOUCH THE WIRE METAL SHIELD (UL®
GUARD) AFTER THE HEAT TOOL HAS BEE FIRED.
