8.2 Insert / remove hot glue stick
8.2.1 Insert
P
RECONDITIONS
:
a
The power is switched OFF (0).
a
The battery is disconnected.
1. Insert a hot glue stick into the inlet.
2. Gently push the stick through the opening until it will go no further.
8.2.2 Remove
Important:
Risk of damage. Do not try to remove any unused portions of the glue stick after use.
If you need to change the glue type:
■
Cut off any glue protruding from inlet.
■
Gently squeeze the remaining glue through the nozzle until the new glue stick behind it flows through.
8.3 Gluing
■
If the glue stick does not enter the inlet easily, DO NOT keep squeezing the trigger. The
glue chamber may not be hot enough to melt the glue. Refer to section “Gluing” for fur-
ther information.
■
Risk of severe burns! Excessive squeezing of the trigger may cause hot glue to reverse
out of the inlet.
■
Risk of fire and/or burns! Always place the product so the nozzle does not come contact
anything while it is heating or not in use.
Always use safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.
Important:
■
Always practice gluing on scrap work pieces before final gluing on projects.
■
Auto shut OFF: The product will automatically power OFF after 10 minutes of continuous
use. Switch the power OFF (0) then ON (I) again to resume use.
P
RECONDITIONS
:
a
Hot glue stick is inserted.
a
Battery is connected.
a
The power is switched OFF (0).
1. Switch the power ON (I).
Heating status indicator:
- RED: heating up.
- GREEN: heated to working temperature.
2. Gently squeeze the feed trigger a few times until adhesive flows from the nozzle.
à
If using the glue gun for the first time or the hot melt chamber is empty, you may use up one stick
before glue flows out.
à
If liquid glue does not appear, wait an additional 1 minute for the heating element to reach a
higher temperature.
3. Switch the power OFF (0) when finished using. Place the product on a protective surface e.g. thick
paper. This is to catch adhesive drips as the product cools down.
4. Allow the adhesive and nozzle to completely cool down before removing the battery pack.
8.4 Gluing tips
■
The bonding surfaces should be dry, free of dust and grease. Do not use flammable detergents and
solvents.
■
Zigzag lines of glue are good for adhering flexible materials (e.g. textiles).
■
Beads of glue are good for adhering all other materials.
■
The bonding time is approximately 30 seconds and about 90 % of adhesion occurs after one minute.
The bonding time for thick beads of glue can be longer than for small beads.
■
Do not glue large areas at once, work in sections, and apply the adhesive in a corrugated pattern.
■
Improve adhesion by preheating surfaces e.g. with a hot air gun.
■
Only attempt remove adhesive residue when it has completely cooled down.
■
Loosen or adjust glued areas by heating them, e.g. with a hot air gun.
■
To glue different materials together, apply adhesive to the harder material.
