serious burns.
Before you use the applicator perform
functionality test according to the following
list:
Wear protective gloves and safety
goggles whenever you work with the
applicator.
Avoid accidents by stumbling – Lay all

will not cause any risk of stumbling. For
this, install cable ducts and bridges.
Never direct the glue jet towards people!
Do not lay the applicator on its side.
Never hold nozzle top upward.
Do not carry out overhead work.
Never start working before fitting a nozzle
first.

Change nozzles only when the applicator is
warmed up.
Open lid only when the applicator is heated up.
Do not overcharge the applicator; only fill it up to

The heating temperature should be lowered during
longer work breaks to preserve the hotmelt.
Ongoing heating makes the hotmelt coke and may
also change its' characteristics.

casing is damaged due to shock, breakage or
heavy wear.
