Racine, WI… Master Appliance Corporation, the leading manufacturer of professional quality heat tools for industry, has introduced a new safety option for its popular, heavy-duty, industrial HG and Varitemp Series Heat Guns. Master's new Momentary Contact Switch ("MC") option automatically turns off the heat gun when the user removes their hands from the off-on switch. This added safety option prevents potential hazards caused by misuse in accidentally setting down the heat gun and leaving it on, including damage to items close to the gun or even fire.

Master Heat Gun^® models provide adjustable temperatures up to 1,000°F/ 538°C and are used extensively in the general industrial, maintenance, electronic, automotive repair, and specialty medical markets as well as retail outlets for packaging applications.  They feature a double protected element housing, long lasting, reinforced, mica-insulated ceramic heating element, heavy-duty die cast aluminum housing, adjustable air intake to control air volume and temperature range and a powerful high speed universal motor with extremely accessible brush holders.  They also come with a non-slip rubber-backed base, a contoured well-balanced handle and oil-resistant neoprene 3-wire grounded cord set. 

Master Heat Guns are available only from authorized Master Distributors.  For more information or the name of your local distributor contact Master Appliance Corp. in Racine at sales@masterappliance.com, by telephone at 800-558-9413, 262-633-7791, or by fax at 262-633-9745.
