2. Connect electrical service
Select work station where 110V AC
grounded receptacle is available.
3. Start up
Plug applicator into electrical service.
Insert a 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Hot
Melt LM AE Adhesive Stick into the
round opening at rear of applicator.
Adhesive stick must be inserted far
enough for the feed mechanism to be
engaged. Allow the applicator to warm
up (3-5 minutes).
(During the warm
up period, you may note a slight drip-
ping from the nozzle tip. This drip-
ping is due to pressure which can
build up during warm up.)
Applicator
is now ready for use.
4. Application
Become familiar with your new 3M™
Scotch-Weld™ Hot Melt Applicator AE
II LT by actuating the trigger. Start by
applying small amounts of adhesive in
puddles and beads on cardboard. Once
you feel comfortable with the applica-
tor, begin your application by applying
the necessary amount of adhesive to
sufficiently bond the substrates togeth-
er. The bond will form in seconds and
be ready for handling in minutes.
5. Shut down
To shut down the applicator, unplug
and set aside. Always use the bench
stand when applicator is not in use.
