Bosch Professional GKP 200 CE Original Instructions Manual page 9

The ambient temperature and the workpieces to be glued
must not be colder than +5 °C and not warmer than +50 °C.
Materials that cool the adhesive down quickly should be
warmed first with a hot air gun.
Gluing
Allow the glue gun to heat up.
Push the glue stick (8) suited to the material into the glue
gun from behind.
Apply moderate pressure to the feed trigger (4).
Apply the adhesive to a single side.
Press the materials you wish to glue together against each
other for around 10 to 30 seconds immediately after apply-
ing the adhesive. It is still possible to correct the bonding
location at this point.
The bond is stable after approx. two minutes of cooling time.
Set the glue gun down on the support bracket (3) in between
gluing processes.
Make sure you do not come into contact with the hot
u
adhesive. Use a silicone mat to press permeable materi-
als together.
Changing the nozzle
The nozzle (2) can only be removed when it is hot. To do so,
heat up the glue gun for approximately 4 min.
Wear protective gloves when changing the nozzle.
u
Only hold the heated nozzle by the heat shield (1).
Touching the hot nozzle tip poses a risk of burns.
Fasten the new nozzle (2) until it is hand-tight.
Application tips
Material/workpiece Recommendation
Long workpieces with large Apply adhesive in dots
surface areas
Flexible materials (e.g. tex- Apply adhesive in lines
tiles)
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the bonding
u
locations. The hot glue could ignite any solvent residue or
release hazardous fumes.
Adhesive residue on clothing cannot be removed.
The bonding locations can be painted.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket before car-
u
rying out any work on the glue gun.
Keep the glue gun clean to ensure effective, safe oper-
u
ation.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
After the adhesive has hardened, you can remove it with a
blunt object. Do not use solvents when cleaning. If neces-

sary, the bonding locations can be unstuck again by applying
heat.
An inserted glue stick (8) must not be removed from the rear
of the glue gun. This is to prevent damage to the glue gun.
