Troubleshooting & Tips
• Always unplug the gun before changing nozzles. Use a wrench
and change nozzles only when the gun is warm (not cool or hot).
• Allow the gun to warm a wax pellet for 10-15 min. before extruding.
• Do not force wax out of heating chamber with excessive pressure.
Instead, increase temperature until wax can be easily extruded.
• Use only a small bowl of water with the “Modeling on Water”
technique. Do not use over tubs, sinks, or other large containers of
water. The gun can be potentially dangerous if dropped into water.
