Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch fire, or explode.• Never use other than the dedicated charger to charge the battery pack. Otherwise, the battery may leak, overheat, or explode.• After removing the battery pack from the tool or the charger, always reattach the pack cover. Otherwise, the battery contacts could be shorted, leading to a risk of fire. Preparing the sealing gun For preparation of sealing compound, such as cutting the opening to the desired diameter, follow the instructions of the cartridge / sausage pack. III . ASSEMBLY Attaching or Removing Battery Pack CAUTION: Before inserting battery pack, check that the power switch in the tool actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.1. To connect the battery pack (Fig. 1) Line up the alignment marks and attach the battery pack.• Slide the battery pack until it locks into position.2. To remove the battery pack (Fig. 2) Push on the button from the front to release the battery pack. Inserting the sealing compound into the gun For use with cartridges 1) Cut off the tip of nozzle at a point suitable for the job. (Fig. 3)2) Pull the rack all the way to rear. (Fig. 4)3) Unscrew the tube holder from the housing, and remove the sausage pack adapter from the rack. (Fig. 5)4) Install the tube holder on the housing, remove the front cap from the tube holder, and insert the cartridge. (Fig. 6)-

5) Set the nozzle and install the front cap on the tube holder. (Fig. 7)6) Push the rack until touching the cartridge. (Fig. 8) For use with sausage pack

1) Cut off the tip of nozzle at a point suitable for the job. (Fig. 3)2) Pull the rack all the way to rear.

(Fig. 4)3) Unscrew the tube holder from the housing.4) Screw sausage pack adapter on to piston joint. (Fig. 9) NOTE:

• Make sure that the plunger rotates smoothly.5) Install the tube holder on the housing, remove the front cap from the tube holder, and insert the sausage pack. (Fig. 10)6) Set the nozzle and install the front cap on the tube holder. (Fig. 11)7) Push the rack until touching the sausage pack. (Fig. 12)

. OPERATION How to use the sealing gun 1) Hold the grip while holding the tube holder. (Fig. 13)2) Set the nozzle in the groove, then squeeze the switch (L). The rack will move forward.3) The tube holder can be rotated. This makes sealing application even easier in hard-to-work places.4) Set rack speed according to work. You can easily change speeds while working by rotating application speed control (K) by finger. CAUTION:

• Be sure to lock the trigger (“0” position) when finished working. Speed rate adjustment0 1 Slow Fast 5 Lock

5) The rack will retract slightly when you release the trigger, so as to prevent dripping.

• Dripping can occur with small nozzle openings or exceptionally soft sealing compounds.6) You can pull the trigger repeatedly to dispense small shots of compound. As long as you pull the trigger within 1 second of each shot, the rack will move forward slowly without retracting. For hard compounds
• Warm the sealing compounds until the compounds become soft.• Slow down the speed by selecting the application speed control.• Make the nozzle cut diameter bigger. (Fig. 14) CAUTION:
• Make sure the front cap is tightened securely when working.• Do not touch the rack to avoid getting your fingers pinched.• Use the tool only for its intended purpose, and do not operate it for long periods of time without interruption, since this may damage the sealing gun or cause the cartridge to jam. Do not insert a cartridge if it is wet, or if the sealing compound has hardened.• If the tool is operated for long periods of time, the motor may overheat. It is therefore recommended to switch it off from time to time.• The use of flammable materials, even for cleaning purposes, is not permitted.-

[Battery Pack] For Appropriate Use of Battery pack Li-ion Battery pack (EY9L41)

• For optimum battery life, store the Li- ion battery pack following use without charging it.

• When charging the battery pack, confirm that the terminals on the battery charger are free of foreign substances such as dust and water etc. Clean the terminals before charging the battery pack if any foreign substances are found on the terminals. The life of the battery pack terminals may be affected by foreign substances such as dust and water etc. during operation.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

• When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well-ventilated.

• When the battery pack is removed from the main body of the tool, replace the battery pack cover immediately in order to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating the battery terminals and causing a short circuit. Battery Pack Life The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one. Battery Recycling ATTENTION: For environmental protection and recycling of materials, be sure that it is disposed of at an officially assigned location, if there is one in your country. [Battery Charger] Charging Common Cautions for the Li-ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

• If the temperature of the battery pack fallsapproximatelybelow−10°C(14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.

• The ambient temperature range is between0°C(32°F)and40°C(104°F). If the battery pack is used when the batterytemperatureisbelow0°C(32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.

• When charging a cool battery pack (below0°C(32°F))inawarmplace, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.

• Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.

• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. CAUTION: To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.

• Do not use power source from an engine generator.

• Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
