Keep children away. Small children must be kept away from work area. Accidental contact with tool or
extension cord should be avoided. Children should not use this glue gun, only under the direct
supervision of a responsible adult.
Glue gun storage. After use, allow glue gun to cool completely prior to storage. When not in use, the
glue gun should be stored in dry and secure location out of the reach of children.
Electrical cord precautions. Do not carry the tool by the cord or yank to disconnect from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from the nozzle or other high heat sources. Always guide the cable toward the rear
away from the unit. Periodically inspect the electrical cord for any sign of wear or damage. If the power
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Disconnect electrical power. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing. Do not yank on
cord to unplug from electrical receptacle.
Stay alert. Pay attention to your work. Beware of any dripping hot glue from your project. Use common
sense. Do not operate this gun when you are tired. Do not operate under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs that may impair your physical abilities.
Do not touch the heated nozzle of the glue gun or the hot adhesive. The operating temperature of this
tool is 383°F (195°C).
Use recommended accessories. Use only recommended adhesives in this glue gun. Putting other
materials than recommended may result in accidental injury and permanent damage to the glue gun.
For example: do not attempt to melt crayons or candles.
Never use the tool if it is damaged in any way.
Hot melt adhesives are not a replacement for structural fastener.
Hot melt glue should not be used for projects that will be exposed to extreme heat. Some adhesive used
with this glue gun can soften at about 140°F (60°C).
Do not attempt to remove unused portion of a glue stick from the tool.
Do not expose the glue gun to extreme changes in temperature during or directly after use.
Never immerse glue gun in water or other liquids to speed cooling process. Allow the gun to air cool
only.
Do not use glue gun in explosive environment or nearby explosive materials.
Do not leave the glue gun unattended while plugged in or in a hot condition.
It is normal for this tool to become quite warm during use. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
The glue gun should be unplugged after use or if it will not be used within 2-hour period.
The adhesive can be stored indefinitely in the unheated gun and re-melted by heating up the tool.
If you accidentally touch the melted glue, immediately immerse the affected area in cold water and call
a doctor. The injured area should be attended by a medical professional.
Some materials are heat-sensitive and can be damaged by the hot nozzle or even the hot glue. Whenever
possible, test a piece of scrap material or a hidden portion of the object being repaired.

1. Plug the glue gun into any AC outlet with required specification; red light on means the power is on.
2. Allow the tool to heat for approximately 3-5 minutes. Insert a stick of adhesive into the back of the
tool.
ATTENTION
You may use 100mm, 250mm or 300mm length glue sticks in this tool. Only for
suitable
glue stick tolerance: ø 11.0mm - ø 11.5mm
3. When the gun is fully heated, squeeze the trigger slowly, until the melted gluebegins to flow from
the nozzle. Release the trigger to stop the glue flow.
4. The output volume of the glue can be adjusted by adjusting the stroke adjustor screw.
1. To prevent the clogging of the glue gun, keep feeding mechanism and melting chamber free from
dirt and other foreign debris. Store unused glue sticks in a clean environment.
2. Do not pull glue stick from the back of the glue gun. The feed mechanism will be damaged. If you
desire to change types of glue, cut off the exposed end and feed the remainder through with the new
type of glue.
3. Do not lay heated gun on its side. Keep the heated gun in an upright position only with nozzle pointed
down.
4. If melted glue has escaped from the melt chamber entrance and is interfering with the feed
mechanism; allow gun to cool, and gently remove the obstructing glue.
5. Replace the nozzle if glue drips excessively. Do not attempt to change nozzle when glue is cold. To
change, the gun must be heated until the glue is softened enough to remove nozzle (about 1 minute).
Use gloves and with a wrench, remove the old nozzle. Flush glue through the gun, to clean out the
melting chamber. Replace with a new nozzle. Tighten only until snug. Do not over tighten.
6. Nozzle is suggested to be replaced regularly, ensuring a good flow of glue.
7. Keep outside of glue gun clean.
The following guide provides some helpful information concerning your GLUE GUN and hot melt
adhesives.
The normal working time of the hot-melt is thirty (30) seconds. After the adhesive has been extruded
onto the surface being bonded, the part should be pressed together within fifteen to twenty (15-20)
seconds. The bond will have about 90% of its bond strength in one minute.
The working time of the hot-melt can be extended to fifty to sixty (50-60) seconds by applying the
adhesive in large drops or shortened to less than ten (10) seconds by extruding the adhesive in a thin
line.
Large areas are difficult to bond because the adhesive frequently will harden before you have
extruded the required amount.
Preheating the surfaces being bonded to slightly above room temperature will improve the bond
strength. Direct sunlight will accomplish this. This action is particularly important when gluing metal
pieces.
The hot-melt adheres well to porous surfaces like paper, cloth, particleboard, and pinewood.

TIPS ON USING

The hot-melt adhesives quick set time eliminates the need for clamps or other holding devices. The
hot-melt begins to soften when the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°C) and should not be used on
items that will be subjected to temperatures above that.
Hot-melt adhesives can be used in place of nails, staples, tapes, or liquid glue: however, they should
not be used to replace structural fastener where heavy loads are involved.
Glue strings from nozzle. Your glue is stringing from the nozzle you may want to swirl the nozzle in a
circular motion, the heat of the nozzle will cut the string. If the glue string lands on your project,
allow the glue to dry, then take a hair dryer and blow off the glue string.
