Frequently Asked Questions - Pkp3.6 BOSCH

How to charge the battery of the Bosch PKP 3.6 glue gun?

Plug the charger into a wall outlet and insert the charging plug into the gun's socket. The red LED flashes during charging and becomes steady green when fully charged. Full charging takes 3 to 4 hours.

How long does it take for the gun to be ready to use?

The preheating time is about 15 seconds. The green LED flashes during heating and becomes steady when the glue is at temperature (approx. 170 °C).

What types of glue sticks should be used?

Use only original Bosch glue sticks or those recommended by the manufacturer, with a diameter of 7 mm and a length of 150 mm. Using unsuitable sticks can cause flow or dispensing issues.

What to do if the glue stick does not advance?

Check that the stick is not worn or too short. Insert a new stick. Make sure the diameter is correct (7 mm). If the problem persists, use original sticks.

The glue gun leaks or drips continuously, what to do?

This may be due to a melting temperature that is too low for the stick. Use original sticks. If flow continues without pulling the trigger, turn off the device and let it cool, then check the stick.

What are the important safety instructions?

Do not touch the hot nozzle (170 °C) and the silicone cap. Do not leave the device unattended while on. Protect the gun from moisture and heat. Use only the supplied charger. After use, place it safely and let it cool completely before storing.

How to clean the glue gun?

Turn off the device and let it cool. Remove cooled glue residue with a blunt object (e.g. wood spatula). Never use flammable solvents. For stained clothing, the glue cannot be removed.

What is the battery runtime?

A fully charged battery provides about 30 minutes of continuous use, corresponding to about 6 glue sticks. The Lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time without affecting its lifespan.

What to do if the gun does not heat up?

Check that the device is on (press the On/Off button until the green LED flashes). If the LED does not light up, the battery may be discharged: charge it. If the problem persists, contact Bosch customer service.

Can polystyrene or PVC be glued with this gun?

No, the manual advises against gluing PE, PP, PTFE, Styropor® and soft PVC. For polystyrene (styrene foam), use a special low-temperature glue to avoid melting the material.

Assembly

Battery Charging (see figure A)

Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond with the data given on the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

The battery is supplied partially charged.

To ensure full battery capacity, completely charge the battery (at least 2 - 3 hours) before using for the first time.

The glue gun cannot be used during the charging procedure; it is not defective, when it does not function during the charging procedure.

The Lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is dis

charged, the glue gun is switched off by a protective circuit: The glue is no longer heated.

When the battery charge-control indicator briefly lights up red, the battery must be recharged.

After use, place down the glue gun in a safe manner and allow it to cool down completely before packing it away. The hot nozzle can cause damage and/or burns.

Working Advice

Do not allow the hot glue or the nozzle tip to come into contact with persons or animals. Glue and nozzle tip reach a temperature of approx. 170°C; danger of burning. If hot glue comes into contact with the skin, hold the affected area immediately under a stream of cold water for several minutes. Do not try to remove the glue from the skin.

Use only glues recommended by the manufacturer of the glue gun (see page 3).

Bonded connections can loosen under the effect of moisture.

Preparations for Gluing

The surfaces to be glued must be clean, dry and free of grease.

The materials to be glued as well as the surface on which you are working may not be easily ignitable or inflammable. Check the suitability of heat-sensitive materials first on a test workpiece.

The ambient temperature and the workpieces to be glued may not be colder than +5°C and warmer than +50°C.

Materials, such as metal, which cool off the glue quickly, should be preheated with a hot air gun.

Gluing

• Insert the appropriate glue stick 4 for the material being glued via the opening at the rear of the glue gun.
• Switch the glue gun on and allow it to heat up (see "Switching On", page 10).

The glue gun is ready for operation after approx. 15 seconds.

• Press the feed trigger 3 applying moderate pressure.
• Apply the glue only on one side (also see "Practical Advice", page 10). After applying the glue, immediately press the surfaces to be glued together. Correcting the gluing location is still possible at this point.

The glued spot can be subjected to load after a cool-down period of approx. 2 minutes.

Practical Advice

Material/Workpiece	Recommendation
Large-surfaces, long workpieces	Apply the glue in the form of points
Flexible materials (e.g. textiles)	Apply the glue in lines

Remove glue residue after cooling with a blunt object. If required, glued spots can be separated again by applying heat.

Do not use inflammable solvents for cleaning the surfaces to be glued. Solvent remainders can ignite from the hot glue, or hazardous vapours can develop.

Glue remainders on clothing cannot be removed.

Glued spots can be painted.
