Working Instructions
Preparations for Gluing
The surfaces to be glued must be clean, dry and free of
grease. Roughen smooth surfaces before gluing.
Do not use inflammable solvents for
cleaning!
The ambient temperature and the work piece to be
glued must not be colder than +5 ˚C or warmer than
+50 ˚C.
Warm rapidly cooling materials (e.g., steel) for better ad-
hesion.
Gluing
Danger of burning! The glue and the nozzle tip are
s
heated to 200 ˚C. Do not allow the hot glue to come
into contact with persons or animals. If hot glue
touches the skin, immediately hold the spot for some
minutes under a stream of cold water. Do not try to
remove the glue from the skin.
Insert the glue stick 2. Press the feed trigger 3.
Apply the glue in the form of points. For gluing flexible
materials (e.g., textiles), apply the glue in a zig-zag line
(see Fig. ).
