AUTO SHUT-OFF
When the caulk tube is empty, the auto shut-off feature will
cause the motor to shut off.
CARRIAGE FRAME
The carriage frame will support a 30 oz. quart-size tube or a
standard 10 oz. tube of caulk, depending on your applica-
tion needs.
ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION
An electronic overload protection feature causes the motor
to automatically shut down if too much pressure is exerted
on the caulk tube.
JOIST FOLLOWER
Use the joist follower when applying adhesive to floor joists
prior to installing sub-flooring, or on wall joists before install-
ing sheetrock.
PLUNGER ROD
The forward movement of the plunger rod applies pressure
to the bottom of an open caulk tube, causing caulk to be
dispensed.
PLUNGER ROD HANDLE
The plunger rod handle is used to pull the plunger rod back,
allowing caulk to be loaded.
PUNCTURE TOOL
For your convenience, a puncture tool is provided for break-
ing the seal on a new tube of caulk. When using a partially
filled caulk tube, the puncture tool can be used to remove
any hardened material from the tube’s nozzle.
SWITCH LOCK
The switch lock prevents depression of the switch trigger.
SWITCH TRIGGER
Depressing the switch trigger starts the forward motion of
the plunger rod.
VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR
The plunger speed can be adjusted with the variable speed
selector. This allows you to adjust the material feed rate to
suit your particular application.
