ADJUSTING THE VARIABLE SPEED

See Figure 6.

Use the variable speed knob to adjust the material feed rate 
of the caulk gun for your particular application.

To increase the rate of material feed, turn the knob in a 
counterclockwise direction.

To decrease the rate of material feed, turn the knob in a 
clockwise direction.

LOADING CAULK

See Figures 7 - 8.

Lock the switch trigger by sliding switch lock to the left.

Using a utility knife, cut off the tip of the spout on a tube 
of caulk. Cut the tip at a 45˚ angle. Remove as little as 
possible, taking into consideration the size of the “bead” 
of caulk you need. 

Check for a second inner seal at the base of the spout. If 
found, insert the puncture tool inside the spout to break 
the seal before using. If using a partially filled tube, use 
the puncture tool to remove any hardened material from 
the tip. 

 

NOTE:

  An inner seal is usually found only in cardboard 

caulk tubes.

While holding the caulk gun steady with one hand, pull 
the handle of the plunger rod away from the caulk gun. 
Continue pulling until piston reaches the back of the car-
riage frame.

Load the caulk tube into the carriage frame, making sure 
it is well seated at both ends.

ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The caulk gun is protected by an electronic overload protec-
tion feature. If too much pressure is exerted on the tube, 
the  motor  will  shut  down.  This  helps  to  prevent  damage 
to the tool and the caulk tube. If the motor shuts off, make 
sure that:

Nozzle tip is cut

�Inner seal in the caulk tube is broken

Hardened material is removed from the nozzle

Caulk tube is not damaged or frozen

Plunger rod is free of caulk/adhesive materials

Release the trigger and wait for 3 to 5 seconds to allow the 
electronics to reset. If the motor again shuts off, move the vari-
able speed selector to the middle position and press the trig-
ger again. If the motor continues to shut off, try another tube 
of material or take the tool to an authorized service center.
