Choose a surface that will not be damaged by glue dripping
from the nozzle.
Allow the glue gun to cool for 30 minutes before storing.
The ON/OFF button (4) is located on the base of the tool.
uTo turn the tool on, press and hold the top of the ON/OFF
switch for approximately 1 second until heat up LED 2
starts ashing, indicating the heating element is warming
up.
uAfter approximately 30 seconds, the LED will turn solid
and the illumination LED (7) will turn on to show the unit is
ready to use.
u If the charger indicator LED (5) starts ashing red, this
indicates low battery.
uTo turn the tool off, press the ON/OFF switch.
uThe LED indicator will no longer be illuminated when the
heating element is off.
Safety cut off feature
The unit includes a safety cut off feature. If the unit has not
been moved or used within 2mins the unit will automatically
turn off. Follow standard on/off procedure to turn back on.
Applying glue
Warning! Molten glue reaches 302ºF. Do not touch applied
glue. Keep away from children.
Warning! Pressing porous materials, such as fabric,
immediately after application can cause glue to leak through
and make contact with skin, causing injury.
uAfter the glue gun has been ON for at least 30 seconds,
you can apply glue by squeezing the trigger 1 .
uTo glue objects together, apply glue to one object and
press the second object into the melted glue. Hold objects
together for 5-10 seconds.
Note: Heavy applications may require up to a minute of
cooling before the glue will reach full strength.
Note: Glue dispersion may be delayed longer than time
claimed due to the presence of solidied glue in the unit.
Proper hand position (Fig. D)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle.

Hints for Optimum Use
The basic instructions given below are provided as a guide to
craft and DIY applications. The operator should practise the
various applications on scrap materials to obtain the required
effect and prevent damage to the work piece.
Tips on using your glue gun
uChoose the right glue stick for the appliance. Low
temperature glue sticks suitable for this appliance.
uMake sure that the surfaces are clean and free from dirt or
oily lms before gluing.
u Assemble the parts to conrm that they can be joined
together in the required position before applying glue.
uMake arrangements to hold the parts in position while the
glue hardens.
The heat from the glue may be conducted to the material.
Clamps or pliers should be used to protect the operator
from the heat.
uWorking in a cold environment will reduce the time
required for the glue to harden.
Warm environments will increase the time for the glue to
set.
uThe amount of glue applied will affect the hardening time.
Large heavy pools of glue will take up to fty percent
longer to dry than small drops. Very thin beads will dry in
as few as 10 seconds. Some experimentation with your
glue gun on scrap material will help to determine the best
method to use for your particular project.
uSome paints and stains containing petroleum distillates
can weaken the adhesive. Test before using.
You may need to paint or stain before gluing.
uExcess glue is not easily removed from materials when it
has hardened. Removal of excess glue may be attempted
by scraping, peeling, or softening the glue by applying
heat e.g. with the hot tip of the appliance. Adhesive may
be removed from fabric by dry cleaning.
Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER appliance has been designed
to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends
upon proper care and regular cleaning.
uRegularly clean the appliance using a damp cloth. Do not
use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
