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.

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 (10). Pivot the footstand (8) until the stop is
reached, for a more stable postioning.
Connect your glue gun to power and let it heat up for at least 4 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.

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.

precisely over the drip tray (6c)
Connect the loading station (6) and let the tool heat up for a maximum of 4 minutes.
Release the tool with the ejection button (6b) from the loading station and pick up the glue
gun.
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.

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.

If you are unable to unscrew the nozzle by hand : Remove the rubber cap from the nozzle and
unscrew it with the provided spanner.
