Start-up and Control
Loading Hot-Melt Glue
(TR 50.4 / 55 / 60)
● As soon as the applicator has warmed up, turn the
star grip (no. 6) anticlockwise and open the lid upward
(TR 50.4 / 60: item 3; TR 55: item 4).
Now you can load the desired nonreactive glue.
● Only fill the tank up to approx. 1.5 cm below its upper
rim. Turn the star grip clockwise to close the lid.
● It takes the applicator approx. 3 – 10 minutes to melt
the glue, depending on quantity and type of the glue as
well as the processing temperature.
● To apply glue, push the trigger. The dispensed amount
is controlled by the trigger, the pressure applied to the
glue gun as well as the nozzle diameter. The longer the
trigger is pushed and the bigger the nozzle diameter is,
the more glue is dispensed.
Using PUR Hot-Melt Cartridges
(TR 700 / 70 / 80)
Cartridges may only be inserted or exchanged, when
the applicator is warm or heated up. Do only use
cartridges in perfect condition, that is without dents, etc.,
so that the piston may move freely in the cartridge.
Wear protective gloves and safety
goggles whenever you work with the
applicator.
When the applicator has warmed up,
there is a risk of burns!
If, when changing the cartridge, another
type of glue is used, the nozzle must be
rinsed thoroughly (see chapter „Cleaning
of the Nozzle/Nozzle Adapter“).
Preparation of the Cartridge
To open the cartridge pierce the outlet,
using a pointed tool.
Screw nozzle adapter and nozzle onto
the cartridge.
To ensure optimum operation it is recommended to use
Reka cartridge preheater (article 5398 (230 V); article
5399 (120 V). Cartridges in the cartridge preheater
should always be fitted with nozzle adapter and nozzle.
Preheating the Cartridge
Loading the Hot-Melt Cartridge
As soon as the applicator has warmed up, turn the star
grip (item 6) anticlockwise and open the lid (item 5)
upward.
Be sure that the cartridge outlet has been opened and a
adapter and nozzle are fitted (see „Preparation of the
Cartridge“).
Insert the cartridge into the
cartridge applicator.
Allow approx. 20 minutes for the
applicator to warm up (depending
on the type of glue). Warmingup
will not take as long, if the cartridge
has been preheated.
Apply the hotmelt glue.
The heating temperature should be lowered
during longer work breaks to preserve the hot
melt. Ongoing heating makes the hotmelt coke
and may also change its' characteristics.
