OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING NOZZLES
See Figure 5, page 10.
To install:
„ Before replacing the nozzle, make sure the glue gun is
turned off, the nozzle has properly cooled, and the battery
is removed.
„ Choose the correct nozzle for your application.
„ Thread the desired nozzle into the front of the glue gun,
turning clockwise to tighten.
NOTE: If necessary, use the included wrench to tighten
the nozzle.
To remove:
„ Using the included wrench, turn nozzle counterclockwise
when viewed from the nozzle tip to remove from the glue
gun.
NOTE: If the glue has caused the tip to become difficult
to remove, then use a standard 12mm wrench or pliers
to provide extra leverage.
APPLYING HOT GLUE
See Figure 6, page 10.
„ Install the battery pack and push the MODE button to
select L (low), M (medium), or H (high) temperature.
„ Allow time for the glue to melt so that it flows freely from
the nozzle.
„ Holding the glue gun firmly, place the nozzle close to the
surface where glue will be applied.
NOTE: Holding the glue gun too far from the intended
surface may result in applying glue to a surface other than
your workpiece or may result in strings of glue between
your work and the nozzle.
„ Pull the trigger until glue flows from the nozzle. Do not
over-apply.
NOTE: For better control and consistency of application,
it is advisable to use two fingers to pull the trigger.
NOTE: MAINTENANCE INFORMATION BEGINS ON PAGE 8 AFTER FRENCH AND
SPANISH LANGUAGE SECTIONS. ILLUSTRATIONS START ON PAGE 9.
„ When the desired amount of glue has been applied,
release the trigger. Tilt the nozzle slightly to the side and
carefully pull the nozzle away from the object. This helps
avoid strings of glue clinging to the work.
NOTE: The glue gun will stop dispensing glue when the glue
stick in the chamber is almost used up. To refill the chamber,
set the glue gun down and insert another glue stick.
„ Always set the glue gun to OFF mode when you are fin-
ished using the glue gun.
„ Allow the glue stick and glue gun nozzle to completely
cool before removing the battery pack, nozzle, and glue
stick until next use.
„ The battery can be left on the glue gun while it is cooling,
but the battery must be removed for storage after it has
cooled.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR USE
„ Before applying glue to a surface or workpiece, use a
scrap piece of paper or material that is similar to your
workpiece as a test.
„ Use caution when applying hot glue to thin or porous ma-
terial. The underlying surface could be damaged or glue
could adhere to the surface and be difficult to remove.
„ Do not force the trigger when applying hot glue. This could
damage the glue gun. Use a test piece of material to make
sure the glue has melted enough to flow without forcing.
„ Apply only as much glue as needed for your application.
„ When gluing two objects together, do not pick up the
object to which hot glue has been applied. Instead, pick
up the other object and join it to the object to which you
have applied hot glue.
„ Do not use your fingers to press down on an object to
which hot glue has just been applied. This can cause hot
glue to escape from the edges or heat up the bonding
surface and possibly cause burns or damage to sur-
rounding objects.
„ Allow glue to dry completely before moving your work
to ensure proper adhesion and reduce the risk of burns.
„ If applying glue to very small objects, use tweezers or
tongs to avoid getting the nozzle close to your fingers.
