Operation
Check List:
1)
Is the glue gun connected to the correct voltage? The Champ3™ is available in 120v or 240v.
2)
Is the nozzle clean and free of any foreign matter?
3)
Is low to medium viscosity hot melt adhesive in the gun?
4)
Has the heat-up time of approx. 15 minutes (depending on the glue type) been observed?
5)
The Champ

TM
Gun is set from the factory to a temperature of 374°F / 190ºC and filled with approved
hot melt adhesive.
6)
For higher temperature hot melts, use screw driver to adjust the temperature thermostat found, in the
supplied hole at the rear of the gun. The maximum temperature of 455°F / 235 ºC is set when the screw
is turned to the stop limit. (Use temperature probe on the bottom of the tank with molten hot melt to
verify the actual tank temperature.)
7)
Different Hot Melts have different “POT LIFE”, the amount of time the adhesive can be held at
temperature before degrading.
8)
Excessive temperature and or adhesive held beyond “POT LIFE” will degrade and could damage the gun.
(Consult your adhesive supplier regarding recommended temperature or “POT LIFE”.
9)
Minor leaking or dripping from the nozzle during heat-up is due to hot melt expanding in the nozzle and
heating chamber.
10)
Trigger pull must be easy for operator.
11)
Strength of operator, adhesive viscosity, nozzle size, flow rate of adhesive will help to determine
required trigger pressure. Forcing the trigger can break the tool.
12)
Approximate melt rate is 1 lb per hour depending on adhesive, gun temperature and frequency of filling.
13)
Press the trigger only when gun has warmed up and hot melt is fully molten.
Warning
:
Never Start Working without having installed a Nozzle!
Warning
:
Never Force the Trigger to Create Flow.
Warning:
Personal injury or material damage caused by improper use of the Hot-Melt Glue Gun shall not be the manufacturers
but the user's responsibility.
Warning:
The tank lid can only be opened and removed when the gun has warmed up!
