Warning!
The applicator is used to heat hot melt adhesive and apply it under pressure.
If the instructions and information contained in this operating manual are not observed, or the applicator is used for a purpose other

injury.
The maximum temperature and the maximum permissible operating pressure may not be exceeded for safety reasons!
2.1 Normal use
2.1.1 Scope of application
Applicator to heat and apply metered quantities of thermoplastic materials (such as hot melt adhesives or waxes) in form of bead
(PowerLine) or spray application (PowerLine Spray).
2.1.2 Restriction of use
The tool is designed for commercial use.
Only hot melt adhesives recommended by the manufacturer may be heated up and applied.

2.3 Instructions on safe operation
The applicator may only be used with the nozzle pointing dowwards.
Do not overfill the melt tank (max. level = 1 inch below top).
If the heated applicator is tilted and/or the tank is overfilled, the hot melt adhesive can enter the ventilation pipe. This may cause mal-
functions and may result in injury.
In special situations always wear protective equipment (heat protection gloves, protective goggles).
Protection against injury during maintenance and repair work.
Protect the applicator against moisture and wetness.
Protection against electric shock.
Observe the instruction sheet for the hot melt adhesive.
Only operate in adequately ventilated rooms.
Protection against possible irritation of the mucous membranes by the hot melt adhesive.
Turn off the compressed air supply and power supply if the applicator is faulty or not operating properly and during any maintenance
or repair work.
3. Operation settings
