GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
2. Always ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum intensity of
300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will
not be working in your own shadow.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force a power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it
was designed.
2. Always handle with care and do not carry the tool by its electric cable, or
yank the cable to disconnect it from the power supply.
CARE WHEN USING A HOT GLUE GUN
1. Be aware that the nozzle of the gun gets hot and remains hot for a period
of time after the power has been switched off.
2. When the gun is not in use or is cooling down, it should be rested on the
stand provided on a stable surface.
3. Before applying heat to any surface, ensure that there are no flammable
materials, or any materials that can be damaged by heat in the vicinity.
4. When gluing always ensure that there is adequate ventilation, as glues
may give off toxic fumes which could be dangerous.
5. Keep children away when using hot appliances.
6. Do not leave the glue gun unattended when connected to the power
supply.

Before starting work, ensure all parts to be glued are clean and free from oil
and grease etc. Test that parts fit together before applying glue. The glue gun
is suitable for gluing wood, plastic, textiles, cardboard, tiles & ceramics etc.
The glue can also be used as a paste for filling holes or sealing of joints.

3. Plug the glue gun into a suitable
power socket, and allow to heat
up, before attempting to use,
approx 5-10 mins.

be ON and the LED on the front
of the gun will illuminate.

the glue gun as shown. Push the
glue stick in as far as possible and
gently operate the trigger several
times until resistance is felt. DO
NOT apply excessive force.
5. When ready to start gluing items
together, position the nozzle on
one of the parts and gently
squeeze the trigger. Glue will start
to run from the nozzle.
• Apply the glue to one part to be glued only and apply the glue as
quickly as possible.

trigger, which will cut off the flow of glue into the nozzle. A small
amount of glue will remain in the tip when the trigger is released
and this will need to drain from the tip..
AFTER USE

materials which could touch the hot nozzle.

before storing in its case.

the nozzle.

of the gun and tighten gently with
the spanner.
