▶ Setting the volume flow rate
You can continuously adjust the volume
flow rate of the switched-on caulk gun as a
function of how far you push in the On/Off
switch
13
.
You can use the variable speed dial
11
to
preset the maximum rate of the plunger
rod
7
. High values mean a high plunger rod
rate, while small values mean a low plunger
rod rate.
The maximum volume flow rate can also be
readjusted during operation.
The amount of material squeezed out also
depends on the size of the dispensing
nozzle opening.
▶ Switching On and Off
Press the On/Off switch
13
to start up the
caulk gun. Release the On/Off switch
13
to
switch off the caulk gun.
Once you release the On/Off switch, the
plunger rod is moved back a short way to
remove the pressure from the tube or
sausage pack. This reduces the chance that
more compound will be squeezed out after
you let go of the On/Off switch.
Use the trigger lock
14
to lock the On/Off
switch
13
to prevent it from being switched
on accidentally.
▶ Temperature Dependent
Overload Protection
If the permissible temperature is exceeded,
the caulk gun switches off. Let the caulk
gun cool down and then switch the caulk
gun back on.
▶ Operating Tips
•
Always read and follow all warnings and
instructions of sausage packs and tubes.
•
Comply
with
the
compound
manufacturer’s instructions regarding
the material to be applied. Certain
materials can only be used within a
certain temperature range or can only be
applied to specific surfaces.
•
Open and use tubes and sausage packs
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications.
•
Do not cut the dispensing nozzle until
the material is securely positioned in the
barrel for sausage packs/tubes.
•
Use suitable material to hang the caulk
gun with the hanging loop
9
(Fig. 1).
•
Adjust the volume flow rate to ensure a
smooth and consistent application of
material in one application.
•
Ensure that the surface onto which the
material is to be applied is clean, dry and
free from grease.
