2.1
Potential hazards
Danger!
Never point the operation-ready device at people.
Danger from high pressure!
Burn Hazard
Nozzle (1) and molten adhesive can be over 200 °C hot.
Wear heat-resistant gloves if contact is unavoidable.

Odor nuisance!
Hot-melt adhesives give off fumes which can cause odour nuisance – so ensure adequa-
te ventilation.
Improper use may in isolated cases lead to irritation of the mucous membrane. In this
case seek immediate medical advice!
2.2
Instructions for safe operation
Guard against malfunctions and operating errors by always following these instructions
precisely:
• In no circumstances may the maximum permitted operating pressure (6 bar) be excee-
ded.
• Remove combustible or heat-sensitive objects from the area of the nozzle.
•
There may be no liquid adhesive around the closure axle. It
could flow into the device, escape at the trigger and may
cause burns.
Check this area every time you open the device.
Remove any adhesive immediately!
• When warm the device must be put down on the support hoop (17) or working console.
It must not be laid on its side.
Otherwise melt may escape uncontrolled through the vent holes and present a burn
hazard.
• Never operate the trigger (15) forcibly.
• Protect the device from moisture and damp (protection against electric shock).
• Observe the instruction leaflet for the hot-melt adhesive (protection against processing
errors).
• Operate the device only with the nozzle pointing downwards. It must not be operated
above head height!
• Unplug from the mains before performing any operation on the device (servicing, clea-
ning).
• The device must be powered only from sockets with a protective conductor.
• Any extension cable used must have a protective conductor. Check that the protective
conductor is undamaged before use.
• Unplug from the mains after each use. Allow the device to cool down completely before
putting it away.
• If you notice any damage to the device or leads, unplug from the mains immediately.
Have the device promptly checked over by an expert. It must not be used again until it
has been properly repaired (see Sections 6 and 7).
