Additional safety instructions for the caulk gun
Keep hands out of the plunger and rod area of the
caulk gun. Fingers can be crushed between the tube
holder and the plunger.
When operating caulk gun overhead, do not have the
plunger rod in the path of your eyes or head. The
plunger rod may slip back in the direction of user. Always
wear eye protection when using the caulk gun.
Always read and follow all manufacturer's
instructions regarding caulk or adhesive. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury.
Always work in properly ventilated area and wear
appropriate respiratory protection if necessary.
Fumes from some caulks and adhesives can be noxious.
Do not operate the caulk gun with a sealed caulk or
adhesive tube. Always remove any seals and make sure
that the nozzle is clear from blockages before use.
Make sure that the speed selector switch is in the off
position before inserting the batteries, making
adjustments or cleaning. Accidental start-up may cause
injury.
Additional safety instructions for non-rechargeable
batteries
Warning! Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury
or fire. To reduce this risk:
Make sure that the speed selector switch is in the off
position before inserting the battery(s). Inserting
batteries into power tools and appliances that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

Assembly
Installing the batteries (fig. A)
Warning! Use AA size batteries only. Use alkaline batteries
only.
Slide the cover of the battery compartment (6) forward to
open it.
Insert four new alkaline AA batteries (8), make sure to
match the (+) positive and the (-) negative terminals
correctly.
Close the cover of the battery compartment (6) and slide it
rearwards to lock it into position.
Preparing the caulk or adhesive tube (fig. B)
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation to select the
caulk material or adhesive to suit the job.
Cut the nozzle of the tube at an angle. The closer to the end
of the nozzle that you make your cut, the narrower the
opening will be. The smaller the opening the smaller the
bead of caulk.
The seal poker (2) is located on the caulk carriage (1) and
can be used to pierce the inner seal of the tube or to clear
blockages from a partially used tube.
Make sure that the seal is pierced and the nozzle is
unblocked before use. If not, the material may be forced out
the rear of the gun.
Installing the caulk or adhesive tube (fig. C & D)
Pull the plunger rod (4) back far enough to allow the tube to
fit in the caulk carriage (1).
