Operating Instructions
Insert a glue stick into the back of the glue gun. If the glue gun already has a glue stick in the chamber keep
1.
a second one in reserve nearby.
Plug the glue gun into an electrical outlet. Make sure that it is placed in a secure place and away from
2.
flammable items. As the glue gun heats up a little bit of hot glue might drip from the end. Do not leave the
gun on a wooden table, carpet or any item that may become damaged by heat from any glue drips.
Gather the materials you want to glue together. Hot glue works exceptionally well on thick fabrics, ,wood and
3.
plastics. Since it leaves a thicker residue, it is not the best choice for thin papers, fabrics and ceramics.
Check to see if the glue in the gun has melted by squeezing the trigger slightly and touching the tip to a test
4.
piece of paper. If the glue comes out easily, the glue gun has heated up fully. If the trigger is hard to pull, wait
a minute more for the gun to heat more completely.
Pick up the glue gun and squeeze the trigger slightly while you draw a thin line on one side of the item to be
5.
glued.
Immediately place the other object to be glued on the glue line, pressing firmly together for about 15 seconds
6.
or until the glue has hardened.
Test to see if the items hold together when removing the pressure.
