MAINTENANCE
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! Avoid contact with hot adhesive
and glue gun tip. This may cause burns. Wear
personal protective equipment per workplace
and industry standard operating practices
and procedures when using and cleaning
or changing tip. Keep tip pointed away from
body parts.
To maintain proper operation, follow these steps:
1. Inspect nozzle tip daily. Ensure it is clean and clear
of foreign matter.
2. Keep adhesive clean and free of airborne
contaminants.
AVOIDING PROBLEMS
• Ensure tool has reached temperature before
operating.
• Do not leave tool switched on for long periods
without use. If tool is not to be used for more than
40 minutes, switch off and restart when required.
• Never lay tool on its side without optional side
inserts. Always use tool stand provided.
• Only use adhesives designed for use with this tool.
• Never remove a partially used glue stick. This can
lead to irreparable damage.
• Hot melt glue can be used instead of nails,
staples, tapes and liquid glues. They should not
be used in place of structural connections when
heavy loads are involved.
• Do not use hot melt glue for objects that are
exposed to extreme heat. Some glues that can
be used in this tool will soften at 140ºF.
9. Shut-off: Switch off tool and disconnect from the
main supply (4).
10. Provided side inserts are attached to bottom of the
tool stand. These can be installed to prevent the
glue gun from lying completely flat. (See Figures 4-5)
11. Optional: Extrude one adhesive stick to cool down
the glue gun.
