SAFETY

WARNING! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury, observe the following safety rules:

• This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  • Children or people needing supervision should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Operate and service the glue gun only as described in these instructions.
• Connect glue gun only to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not unplug the glue gun by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord, to unplug.
• Do not handle the plug or glue gun with wet hands.
• Do not use the glue gun outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not use glue gun if cord or plug is damaged.

• Do not use glue gun if it is not working properly or has been damaged, submerged in water or left outdoors.

• Use only authorized replacement parts. Use of other replacement parts may cause hazardous conditions or damage to the glue gun. Repairs should only be performed by a qualified repair person.
• If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified repair person or Uline. Reach out to Uline at 1-800-295-5510 for assistance.
• Do not use near highly flammable materials.
• If an extension cord is used, use an extension cord that complies with local electrical requirements and is properly rated for your application. Use of an improper extension cord may cause electrical shock.
• Do not clean or remove the 3M ^TM hot melt adhesive with solvent. It may cause a fire. For additional health and safety information, see product label and safety data sheet for 3M ^TM hot melt adhesive used.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the glue gun or use with an adaptor or ungrounded outlet. Improper grounding connection of the glue gun may cause electric shock. Check with a qualified electrical or service person to determine whether the plug is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a qualified electrician or service person install the proper outlet.

SAFETY CONTINUED

• This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use; do not leave tool unattended when switched on.
• Place tool on its stand after use and allow it to cool down before storage.
• This tool is intended for use at altitudes not exceeding 6,561'. Prior to making any repairs on the glue gun, ensure that the glue gun is at room temperature and that electrical service lines have been discontinued. Failure to disconnect the electrical power source could result in electrical shock or damage to the glue gun. Glue gun must be completely assembled before connecting glue gun to electrical outlet. Allow glue gun to cool to room temperature before servicing. Failure to do so may cause burns. Read instructions before servicing.

CAUTION! Avoid contact with hot adhesive and glue gun tip. This may cause burns. Wear personal protective equipment per workplace and industry standard operating procedures when using, cleaning or charging tip. Keep tip pointed away from body parts.

- Do not damage the back sleeve.

• Do not pull adhesive sticks from rear of glue gun while in operation. Removing adhesive from the rear may cause molten adhesive flow out of the rear of the glue gun which may cause burns and damage to the glue gun.
• Use only 3M ^TM adhesive sticks. Other adhesives may cause back melt and possible injury. Use of other adhesives may damage the glue gun or result in hazardous conditions.
• Do not use low-temperature adhesives with high-temperature glue guns.
• Reduce risks associated with hazardous work positions to avoid minor or moderate injuries.
• Avoid raising the elbow, bending the wrist, reaching and bending over when using this device.
• Gently squeeze the trigger to push the adhesive stick into the heat block. The adhesive is melted by the heat block and pushed out through the tip. A fixed thermostat on the heat block maintains heat block temperature.

NOTE: To avoid charring or plugging of the tip, extrude at least one adhesive stick every three hours that the glue gun is turned on.

- Do not overtighten. This could damage threads.

OPERATION

WARNING! Use only 3M ^™ hot melt adhesive TC or Q sticks. Other adhesives may cause back melt and possible injury. Do not use near highly flammable materials.

NOTE: TC sticks are 5/8 x 2", while Q sticks are 5/8 x 8".

NOTE: Use only a 110V-230V grounded receptacle. Allow 6-10 minutes to heat up before using.

WARNING! Tip and valve are hot. Keep tip pointed away from body parts.

NOTE: To avoid charring or plugging of the tip, extrude at least one adhesive stick every three hours that the glue gun is turned on.

MAINTENANCE

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Avoid contact with hot adhesive and glue gun tip. This may cause burns. Wear personal protective equipment per workplace and industry standard operating practices and procedures when using and cleaning or changing tip. Keep tip pointed away from body parts.

To maintain proper operation, follow these steps:

1. Inspect nozzle tip daily. Ensure it is clean and clear of foreign matter.
2. Keep adhesive clean and free of airborne contaminants.

AVOIDING PROBLEMS

• Ensure tool has reached temperature before operating.
• Do not leave tool switched on for long periods without use. If tool is not to be used for more than 40 minutes, switch off and restart when required.
• Never lay tool on its side without optional side inserts. Always use tool stand provided.
• Only use adhesives designed for use with this tool.
• Never remove a partially used glue stick. This can lead to irreparable damage.
• Hot melt glue can be used instead of nails, staples, tapes and liquid glues. They should not be used in place of structural connections when heavy loads are involved.
• Do not use hot melt glue for objects that are exposed to extreme heat. Some glues that can be used in this tool will soften at 140°F.

TROUBLESHOOTING

OPERATING ISSUE CAUSES RECOMMENDATIONS
Low or no adhesive flow.	No heat. Check to see that the electrical 120 Vac service is turned on.Thermal fuse in the thermostat may have blown.
	Shutdown procedure was not observed.	Allow the glue gun to heat up for at least 30 minutes.
	Plugged tip. If the glue gun was left overnight, the tip may be plugged.This may block adhesive flow and cause backmelt.CAUTION! Do not force adhesive. Clear the tip with a small nail or paperclip. Extrude the remaining adhesive stick and add one new adhesive stick to clear the opening.
	Backmelt. Remove the clip and feeder from the track of the glue gun. Push the existing adhesive stick back into the sleeve approximately 3/4" with a new adhesive stick. Remove the new adhesive stick before it melts and look into the black sleeve. Look for a thin skin of adhesive around the inside of the black sleeve. Scrape this skin toward the heat block.CAUTION! Do not damage the black sleeve. Extrude one adhesive stick to clear the sleeve.To avoid backmelt, observe the start-up and shut-down procedures. Do not force adhesive through the glue gun.
Dripping nozzle.*	Backmelt. Refer to preceding paragraph on backmelt.
	Contaminated adhesive.	Keep adhesive clean and free of contamination.

*Thermal expansion may cause some dripping during start-up. This is normal.
