CAUTION
Check the expiry date on the cartridge label. Use of
the product after the expiry date is not permissible.
DANGER
Check the cartridge for damage. Never use damaged
cartridges.
CAUTION
When in use, the temperature of the cartridge must
not fall below the minimum temperature given in the
applicable instructions for use of the product.
1. Remove the cap and the plug from the cartridge.
2. Screw the HTE‑M mixing nozzle fully onto the thread
on the cartridge. A new mixing nozzle should be
used with each new cartridge.
4.2 Inserting the cartridge in the tool

1. Release the trigger or, respectively, push it forward
to release the locking mechanism.
2. Pull the piston rods all the way back.
3. Grip the cartridge by the large cylinder and insert it

4. Push the cartridge into the right position in alignment
with the pistons, applying slight pressure until it
engages with a click.
4.3 Dispensing
4
DANGER
Never point the tool toward yourself or other persons.
CAUTION
The initial quantity dispensed by the first strokes of
the dispenser is unsuitable for use. The quantity to
be discarded is product specific and is indicated in
the applicable instructions for use. The initial quantity
must also be discarded after changing a mixer.
WARNING
Begin dispensing mortar only after the mixer has been
screwed on.
CAUTION
The tool / cartridge must not be under pressure when
changing the mixing nozzle.
NOTE
Mortar in the mixing nozzle hardens if dispensing is
interrupted for a long period. Screw on a new mixing
nozzle when you wish to continue dispensing from the
cartridge.
1. To begin dispensing the mortar, pull the trigger
several times fully toward the grip.
2. If you wish to interrupt or end the dispensing op-
eration, release the trigger and push it forward.
The pressure in the cartridge will then be released,
thereby minimizing the tendency for mortar to drip
out.
NOTE
Please refer to the instructions for the cart-
ridge for further information about use of the mortar.
