To protect against electrical shock do not allow any part of unit to get wet.

Closely supervise children when this product is in operation. Because this Blower/

Heater may be very hot during use, never allow children to play with, or around this

product at any time.

Unplug from outlet when not in use. Always allow to cool before attaching or remov-

ing the Heating Unit (11). Always store this product out of reach of children.

Do not operate this Blower/Heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the appli-

turn switch to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

Do not use this Blower/Heater for other than intended use.

This Blower/Heater has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This

plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electri-

cian. Do not change the plug in any way.

Do not plug anything other than the Heating Unit (11) that comes with this Portable

Blower into the Receptacle (28) attached to the Blower Housing.

Maintain labels and nameplates on the appliance. These carry important informa-

tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

Maintain a safe environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is ad-

equate surrounding airspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions and

other debris. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

Do not operate the Blower/Heater near draperies, curtains, and walls. These am-

mable materials may catch re.

Always unplug the Blower/Heater from its electrical outlet and allow to cool com-

pletely before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

Before rst use and after every use, thoroughly dust the appliance and wipe down

with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry completely before plugging in.

People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromag-

netic ﬁelds in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interfer-

ence or pacemaker failure.

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be un-

derstood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot

be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Power Cord Safety

1. A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their

use.

3. If a long extension cord is used,

a. the marked electrical rating of the (detachable power supply cord or)

extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the

appliance,

b. if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding type 3-wire cord, and

c. the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over.

UNPACKING

When unpacking, check to make sure that the item is intact and undamaged. If any

parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number shown on the

ASSEMBLY

Note: This Portable Blower with Heater comes assembled. For additional information

regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram

at the end of this manual.

NOTE: Always unplug this Portable Blower with Heater before performing step 1 below.

It is possible to disassemble the Heating Unit (11) from the Blower unit. Unplug

Heating Unit (11) from Receptacle (28), then place ngers of one hand on top of

Heating Unit (11) with thumb on bottom and squeeze. The Heating Unit (11) will

unsnap and you can pull it away from the Blower.

area on Blower

To reassemble the Blower and Heating Unit (11), reverse the process in step 1.

This may take a bit of practice as the Heater needs to be positioned in exact posi-

tion before it will snap into place. This job is best done using both hands, being

careful not to pinch ngers. Be sure to plug the Heating Unit (11) back into Recep-

tacle (28).

OPERATION

Before using, make sure the Blower/Heater’s ON/OFF Switch (21) is turned off and

the unit is unplugged.

Place the Unit on a at, smooth surface near an electrical outlet and plug the Por-

table Blower with Heater into a 120 V~ electrical outlet. The blower unit can be

oriented so that the air ow is angled upward or downward.

If you use the Blower/Heater as just an air mover, it is best to remove the Heating

Unit (11). This is a safety precaution even though the Heating Unit (11) will not turn

on if the Blower is not on. Always unplug the Blower/Heater before removing the

Heating Unit (11), or replacing it onto the Blower.

The Blower/Heater is used to move air for cooling, or if the Heating Unit (11) is at-

tached, for heating up a large space rapidly.

To adjust the angle of air ow, shut off the blower, pull on the Ring (29) on the side

of the blower opposite the motor and rotate the Case (16) to the desired position.

Release the Ring (29) and allow the pin to lock back in place before use.

If you want to use the Heating Unit (11) with the Blower, re-attach the Heating Unit

(11) as discussed in step 3 under “Assembly”, on page 5.

When nished using the Portable Blower with Heater, turn off the ON/OFF Switch

(21)

WARNING! Let the Portable Blower with Heater cool down completely before mov-

ing or storing and NEVER store close to combustibles.

WARNING! THIS PORTABLE BLOWER WITH HEATER COMES WITH THER-

MAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION. SHOULD THE HEATING UNIT (11) REACH A

TEMPERATURE OF 230° FAHRENHEIT IT WILL TURN OFF UNTIL IT COOLS

DOWN. IT WILL NOT MELT THE UNIT HOUSING.

WARNING! AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, THE HEATING UNIT (11) SHOULD NOT

TURN ON IF THE BLOWER UNIT IS OFF. IF THE HEATING UNIT (11) DOES

TURN ON AND THE BLOWER ON/OFF SWITCH (21) IS IN THE OFF POSITION,

DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THE UNIT SERVICED BY A

QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. DO NOT USE THE PORTABLE BLOWER

WITH HEATER UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

NOTE: This Portable Blower with Heater has a Power Receptacle (28) for use ONLY

with the Heating Unit (11).
