HELPFUL HINTS FOR USE
Before applying glue to a surface or workpiece, use a scrap piece of paper or material that is similar to your
workpiece as a test.
Use caution when applying hot glue to thin or porous material. The underlying surface could be damaged or
glue could adhere to the surface and be diffi cult to remove.
Do not force the trigger when applying hot glue. This could damage the glue gun. Use a test piece of material
to make sure the glue has melted enough to fl ow without forcing.
Apply only as much glue as needed for your application.
When gluing two objects together, do not pick up the object to which hot glue has been applied. Instead, pick
up the other object and join it to the object to which you have applied hot glue.
Do not use your fi ngers to press down on an object to which hot glue has just been applied. This can cause
hot glue to escape from the edges or heat up the bonding surface and possibly cause burns or damage to
surrounding objects.
Allow glue to dry completely before moving your work to ensure proper adhesion and reduce the risk of burns.
If applying glue to very small objects, use tweezers or tongs to avoid getting the nozzle close to your fi ngers.
APPLYING HOT GLUE
Allow time for the glue to melt so that it fl ows freely from the nozzle.
Holding the glue gun fi rmly, place the nozzle close to the surface where glue will be applied.
NOTE: Holding the glue gun too far from the intended surface may result in applying glue to a surface other
than your workpiece or may result in “strings” of glue between your work and the nozzle.
Pull the trigger until glue fl ows from the nozzle. Do not over-apply.
NOTE: For better control and consistency of application, it is advisable to use two fi ngers to pull the trigger.
When the desired amount of glue has been applied, release the trigger. Tilt the nozzle slightly to the side and
carefully pull the nozzle away from the object. This helps avoid strings of glue clinging to the work.
NOTE: The glue gun will stop dispensing glue when the glue stick in the chamber is almost used up. To refi ll
the chamber, set the glue gun down and insert another glue stick.
Always turn the on/off switch to the off position when you are fi nished using the glue gun. Set the glue gun on
a protective surface, such as a piece of paper, while the product cools to catch possible glue drips.
Allow the glue stick and glue gun nozzle to completely cool before removing the battery pack.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
