8.2.4 Gluing techniques
To be able to attach different materials in an optimal manner by gluing, the following two
gluing techniques are recommended:
▪ Glue lines in a zig-zag pattern for flexible materials such as textiles.
▪ Spot-gluing should be used for all other materials.
▪ After applying glue to both sides of the working pieces, immediately press them together
for approximately 30 seconds.
▪ Continue to apply pressure to all glued spots for another five minutes, for instance by
weighing them down.
8.3 Working with the mains cable
Work with a mains cable, if you want to glue several spots in succession.
▪ Adjust the tool and the support bracket (11).
▪ Connect your glue gun to power and let it heat up for at least 5 minutes.
▪ Pull the trigger back towards the handle (4), for pushing the hot-melt stick further into the
heating duct and for pushing the fluid blew through the nozzle.
▪ Glue working pieces.
8.4 Working without the mains cable
Work without mains cable if …
- you only want to glue a single or a few spots
- are planning complicated gluing procedures, which require that you would turn off the tool in
between.
▪ Position the tool in the loading station (6). Please make sure that the nozzle is positioned
precisely over the drip tray (8)
▪ Connect the loading station (6) and let the tool heat up for a maximum of 5 minutes.
▪ The device is now ready to use
▪ As soon as the hot-melt glue is no longer sufficiently fluid, reinsert the tool in the loading
station (6) and heat it up once more.
8.5 Changing the nozzle
Danger of burns ! The hot-melt glue and the nozzle reach temperatures of
up to 200°C. Before nozzles can be exchanged, you must turn off the tool
and let it cool off for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
▪ Pull out the mains plug.
▪ Screw off the nozzle (1) at the front of the tool
If you are unable to unscrew the nozzle by hand : Remove the rubber cap from the nozzle and
unscrew it.
▪ Screw in a different nozzle (1) into the thread and up to the stop. When screwing in the
nozzle, make sure it is positioned correctly.
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention !Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug.
9.1 Cleaning
▪ Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
▪ Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
▪ Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
▪ If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
