STEP 4
Release trigger to stop the flow of glue. Apply pressure to work piece for approximately sixty (60) seconds for complete
bonding.
STEP 5
After use, turn off glue gun by placing the switch to the OFF position (o) (UP), work light at the front end of the nozzle will
turn off, and unplug the power cord from the electric outlet when not in use.
Do not attempt to remove unused adhesive from the glue gun after use. Any unused adhesives can be stored in the gun, and
will reheat for use later.
TIPS ON USING
1. The working time of hot melt glue can be extended to fifty to sixty (50 to 60) seconds by applying the adhesive in large
drops (1/2” diameter) or shortened to less than ten (10) seconds by extruding the adhesive in a thin line.
2. Large areas are difficult to bond because the adhesive frequently will harden before you have extruded the right amount.
3. Preheat surfaces, (especially metals) to improve bond strength. Direct sunlight will accomplish this.
4. The adhesive remaining in an unheated glue gun will re-melt upon heating.
5. Do not use on items that will be subject to temperatures above 140˚F (60˚C).
6. Do not use hot melt glue to hold heavy loads.
7. Some paints and stains can weaken the adhesive. You may need to paint or stain before gluing.
