3. Operation

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
This glue gun (kit) has been especially designed for glueing products such as wood, plastic, foam, rubber, fabric, cardboard, tiles, ceramics, etc.
Quickly setting, the glue is perfect for repairing carpets, bookbinding, fixing soles, etc. The glue is waterproof and resistant to the action of many liquids. The glue gun is quick, environmentallyfriendly,
energy-saving and together with the glue facilitates and quickens any job.

Due operating the glow gun

The normal setting time of the hot glue is 30 seconds. After 30 seconds the glue starts to set. Having applied the glue on the relevant surfaces, wait 15 – 20 seconds before joining them.
After about 1 minute the joint has reached 90% of its adhesive strength.
The setting time can be extended to 50 to 60 seconds by applying the glue in thick drops or shortened by applying the glue in short, fine lines.
Joining large surfaces is difficult, as the glue tends to set before the entire surface has been covered with glue.
Preheating the surfaces to be joined guarantees a strong joint. Sun rays have the same impact.
The glue melts from a temperature of approx. 140°C and must never be used on material that is sensitive to heat.
The glue gun can be used to replace nails, paper tape, liquid glue, but not for heavy-duty jobs.
The electric glue gun features accurate temperature control. It is fitted with a special design feed system that ensures no glue is left behind inside the mechanism.
The glue gun requires Ø 11.2 mm glue cartridges.
The glue gun comes standard with a bracket that enables you to put the gun safely on the table when it is not used.

Plug in the tool.
Insert a glue cartridge into the gun, two when using it for the first time.
Wait 3-5 minutes for the glue to heat.
