•Do not operate this heat tool below 15 PSI or damage to the heat tool will

occur.

•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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•

When working with any type of heat or open flame, always keep a fire

extinguisher close by.

•

Always were 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

the 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.

•

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 from the shrink film when in

operation. Never keep the heat on one area for more than a few seconds.

Once heat is applied to the shrink film,

it will continue to shrink even after

the heat is moved away from the area.

•

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.

REGULATOR OPERATION & MAINTANENCE

Regulator Technical Overview:

•

The MEGR-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 15 PSIG. The

operating temperature range is -40 to +200 degrees Fahrenheit.

the Regulator

17967-Shrinkfast889wPageNos:Layo t 1 11/11/15 1:19 PM Page 7

This is a variable regulator assembly and the heat tool will operate

properly

between 15 PSI and 30 PSI. The pressure can be changed by

loosening the hex nut located under the black, round hand wheelon 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).

Propane Tank Regulator POL

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

increase to the required

22 PSI.

STARTING THE HEAT TOOL

1.Depress the yellow safety that sits in the palm of your hand. If you do not

depress the safety first, you will not be able to pull the trigger with your finger

tips and ignite the heat tool.

2.With the safety depressed, slowly pull the trigger with your fingertips so you

first hear a slight “hissing” of propane flow, then pull 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.

WARNING: MANY NEW USERS PULL THE TRIGGER TOO

QUICKLY AND MULTIPLE TIMES BELIEVING THIS IS THE BEST

WAY TO IGNITE THE HEAT TOOL. PULLING THE TRIGGER TOO

QUICKLY DOES NOT ALLOW THE PIEZO CRYSTAL INSIDE THE

IGNITER TO SEND PROPER VOLTAGE TO THE SPARK PLUG, SO

PULL THE TRIGGER SLOWLY IN ORDER TO IGNITE EVERY TIME.

WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRE METAL SHIELD (UL®

GUARD) AFTER THE HEAT TOOL HAS BEEN FIRED.

REGULATOR MAINTENANCE & SAFETY FEATURES

•Because the Shrinkfast UL®approved regulator assembly is assembled and tested at the

factory to conform to UL®Standard 144, any maintenance or repairs

should be in

accordance with this listing as well as any other applicable regulations. Regulator parts

showing wear should

be replaced as necessary. Contact your local distributor or

Shrinkfast directly for descriptions and part numbers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE: Inside the POL fitting on the

Regulator Assembly there is a safety featured called the “Excess Flow Device”.

•This safety feature is designed to stop the flow of propane if the hose becomes

cut or detached from the regulator or heat tool during operation.

•The Excess Flow Device does not stop the propane flow 100%, but it does

reduce the flow so the user has time to get to the tank and shut off the propane

and prevent a dangerous situation from occurring.

How the Excess Flow Device Works:

•When the propane tank is first turned on the Excess Flow Device believes there

may be a downstream leak and temporarily closes the POL. The POL does not

stop the flow entirely, so there is enough propane entering the hose to begin

pressurizing the system.
