Make sure holder cap is tightened firmly. 
Push the rod gently until the piston touches the bottom 
of the film type pack. 

 

NOTE: 

• 

Always check the film type pack for puncture or 
damage before installing. Do not use damaged 
pack, otherwise the tool may be damaged. 

Direct filling 

NOTICE: 

• 

Make sure the piston C is attached to the rod. Do 
not use other type of piston for direct filling. 

• 

Direct filling can only be performed with the long 
holder (600ml). 

Remove the holder cap, the nozzle and the rubber ring 
from the holder. 
Make sure the rod handle is placed at the most front position. 
Dip the mouth of the holder into the caulking material. 
Pull the rod handle slowly until required amount of 
caulking material is filled in the holder. 
Attach the rubber ring, the nozzle and the holder cap. 
Make sure holder cap is tightened firmly. 

NOTICE: 

• 

Clean the holder with appropriate solvent after 
every day's work.  Otherwise adhered caulking 
material may cause tool breakage. 

OPERATION 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Do not touch the rod during operation. Otherwise 
your finger may be pinched between the rod and 
the housing of the tool. 

• 

Always wear goggles during operation. 

NOTICE: 

• 

Do not cover vents, or it may cause overheating 
and damage to the tool.   

• 

If you can not pull out the rod, turn the speed 
adjusting dial to 1, and pull the switch trigger for a 
moment, and try to pull the rod out after the motor 
stopped. If the rod is still clogged, perform the 
same action until the rod is able to move. 

Cut off the tip of the nozzle suitable for individual 
operation. Be careful how much you cut the nozzle. The 
diameter of the nozzle affects the amount of caulking 
material dispensed. 
Pull the trigger to dispense caulking material. 
The amount of the caulking material dispensed is 
determined by the trigger, the speed adjusting dial, the 
diameter of the nozzle opening, caulking material type, 
and temperature. 
It is recommended that the speed adjusting dial is set to 
'1' and pull the trigger slowly at the first time to test how 
much amount of caulking material is dispensed. 
When the rod reaches front end, the motor starts idling. 
Replace the caulking material when it happens. 

 

NOTE: 

If the caulking material is not dispensed, check the 
following items: 

• 

Nozzle tip is not cut adequately. Cut the nozzle tip 
suitable for individual operation. 

• 

Hardened material gets clogged in the nozzle. 
Remove the hardened material. 

• 

The cartridge is damaged. Replace the cartridge. 

• 

Caulking material is stiff. Warm the material until it 
becomes soft. 

• 

The wrong piston is used. Use appropriate piston.
