SPECIFIC SAFETY NOTES
̅ Before use always examine the gun, looking for loose parts or other objects, and bare or broken
wires. If there are any defects or conspicuous features on the device, interrupt the glueing
procedure immediately and have the glue gun repaired in the manufacturer's works, at his sales
outlet or at a specialist company.
̅ Do not use the device in the proximity of highly inflammable or potentially explosive materials.
̅ In order to avoid damaging the trigger, only pull this when the glue has melted completely.
̅ Do not leave the workplace while the glue gun is being used. Pull out the mains plug upon
completion of the glueing work.
̅ It is imperative that the glue gun is allowed to cool down completely on the relevant stand before
it is packed away.
̅ Do not touch the nozzle or the hot glue. To avoid the risk of burns do not touch the jet
or hot glue.
̅ Do not use in combination with water, steam, rain, a humid environment or highly inflammable
gases or liquids.
̅ Always keep the workplace clean and tidy.
̅ Beware of electric shocks. Avoid any contact with non-earthed parts, such as pipes or other
electrical appliances.
̅ Do not make accessible to children.
̅ Check the mains lead from time to time and get it renewed at a service centre if required.
̅ For your safety, we recommend that it is imperative for you to wear safety glasses or to use
a protective shield.
̅ Do not use outdoors.
̅ During pauses in work remove your finger from the trigger and pull out the mains plug.
̅ Handle the glueing gun with care and caution. Keep it clean, dry and free from oil or lubricating
greases.
USES FOR YOUR GLUE GUN
Figure ᕃ:
The glue gun has an integrated stand. Use this especially for preheating (as described in the
section on »How to use«) and for cooling the gun. If you set the gun down on its stand during
a pause in working, pull out the mains plug and do not leave the gun unattended.
Figure ᕄ:
Use the glue gun for maintenance jobs around the house, e.g. for fixing tiles. Make sure that
the surfaces to be glued are dry and free of grease. Roughen very smooth surfaces before
applying glue.
Figure ᕅ:
Use the gun for gluing metals, e.g. in toys. After application of the glue, press the parts to be
joined immediately together and hold the glued connection for about 30 seconds. After about
2 minutes the glued joint can be subjected to loads. As materials such as metals cause rapid
cooling of the glue, we recommend that you preheat the articles using the heat gun.
Figure ᕆ:
Use the gun for gluing plastics. When bonding HR foam always apply glue to the respective
counter or carrying part (e.g. in dots). Allow any excess glue to cool, after which it can be easily
removed using a sharp knife.
