OPERATION

PARTS

# DESCRIPTION

1 Tool Stand

2 Rear Loading Hole

3 Trigger

4 On/Off Switch

5 Power Cord

Do not connect tool to the outlet at this point.

1. Attach the tool stand.
2. Plug power cord into gun.
3. Insert a glue stick into the rear of the gun. (See Figure 1)

1. Operate the trigger to feed the glue stick forward until resistance is felt. Use provided bolt to adjust output of glue per stroke. (See Figure 2)

1. Connect power cord to outlet and switch tool on.

NOTE: Tool may take approximately five minutes to fully heat up.

1. Operate the trigger to extrude glue until the stick has been completely drawn into the rear of the tool.
2. Gently squeeze the trigger to push the glue into the heat block. Melted glue will flow from the tip. (See Figure 3)

CAUTION! Do not force glue. Excessive force can damage the applicator and cause molten glue to flow out the rear.

1. Insert a new glue stick into the tool as needed.
2. When finished, switch the tool off and disconnect from outlet.

OPERATION CONTINUED

TIPS

• 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 the tool on its side. Always use stand provided, the optional bench stand or the suspension unit.

• Only use glue sticks 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. However, it 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^ .

MAINTENANCE

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Avoid contact with hot glue 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:

• Inspect nozzle tip daily. Ensure it is clean and clear of foreign matter.
• Keep glue clean and free of airborne contaminants.

TROUBLESHOOTING

OPERATING ISSUE CAUSES RECOMMENDATIONS
Low or no glue 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 on overnight, the tip may be plugged. This may block glue flow and cause backmelt. CAUTION! Do not force glue. Clear the tip with a small nail or paperclip. Extrude the remaining glue stick and add one new glue stick to clear the opening.

TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED

OPERATING ISSUE CAUSES RECOMMENDATIONS
Low or no glue flow (continued).	Backmelt. Remove the clip and feeder from the track of the glue gun. Push the existing glue stick back into the sleeve approximately 3/4" with a new glue stick. Remove the new glue stick before it melts and look into the black sleeve. Look for a thin skin of glue around the inside of the black sleeve. Scrape this skin toward the heat block. CAUTION! Do not damage the black sleeve. Extrude one glue stick to clear the sleeve. To avoid backmelt, observe the start-up and shut-down procedures. Do not force glue through the glue gun.
Dripping nozzle.*	Backmelt. Refer to preceding paragraph on backmelt.
	Contaminated glue. Keep glue clean and free of contamination.

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