4 Installation
Before using the tool for the first time check it carefully for signs of external damage. If
any transit damage is found DO NOT USE THE TOOL - return it to your supplier
immediately.
Steps 1 – 5 should be followed before connection to the main supply :
1. Insert the applicator stand into the grooves at the base of the handle. Stand
applicator on a flat surface.
2. Connect the air supply hose to a clean, dry and regulated air supply using the
Quick-Disconnect fitting provided (use of a filter / regulator is recommended)
3. Pull piston back fully and rotate upwards.
4. Load two adhesive cartridges into the barrel of the tool and push fully forward.
5. Rotate the piston down and slide forward fully until it contacts the rear of the
adhesive cartridge - it should engage about 5/16" (6-8mm) into the applicator
barrel.
6. Connect tool to main supply.
7. Red ‘Power On’ indicator light will illuminate.
8. Allow the applicator to thoroughly warm up for 10 minutes. Do not attempt to
operate the applicator until this time has elapsed.
5 Operation
Normal use:
•
Assemble the stand and place the applicator in an upright position on a flat surface.
•
Plug the applicator into the power supply socket, and switch on the power . Wait 10
minutes for the applicator to reach its normal operating temperature.
•
Squeeze the trigger to advance the piston and extrude molten adhesive through the
nozzle.
•
To stop extruding adhesive simply release the trigger.
During use, the piston will advance into the barrel as the trigger is pulled. A point will
be reached where the piston no longer advances, and the sound of air escaping can
be heard - this indicates that the applicator needs reloading.
•
Release the trigger.
•
Pull the piston back.
•
Insert a new adhesive cartridge.
•
Operate the tool normally.
