Tips on Using:
The following guide provides helpful information for G25E03-001/CHAMP™ STICK 400 glue gun and
hot melts adhesives.
1. The normal working time of the hot-melt is thirty (30) seconds. After the adhesive has been extruded
onto the bonding surface, 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.
2. The working time of the hot-melt can be extended to fifty to sixty (50-60) seconds by applying the
adhesive in large drops (11mm diameter) or shortened to less than ten (10) seconds by extruding the
adhesive in a thin line.
3. Large areas are difficult to bond because the adhesive often hardens before you have extruded the
required amount. Use a higher volume hot melt system from Glue Machinery Corporation such as the
Champ 3, 600, 10 or Economelt.
4. Preheating the bonding surface to slightly above room temperature will improve the bonding strength.
This action is particularly important when gluing metal pieces.
5. The hot-melt adheres well to porous surfaces like paper, cloth, particleboard, and wood.
6. The hot-melt adhesives quick set time eliminates the need for clamps or other holding devices.
7. The hot-melt begins to soften when the temperature exceeds 140ºF and should not be used for items
that will be subjected to temperatures above that. Other hot melts are available with high softening
points that must be processed with bulk Hot Melt Systems available from Glue Machinery
Corporation.
8. Hot-melt adhesives can be used in place of nails, staples, tape, or liquid glue: however, they should
not be used to replace structural fasteners where heavy loads are involved.
9. Glue can string from the nozzle. If your glue is stringing from the nozzle you may want to swirl the
nozzle in a circular motion so the heat of the nozzle will cut the string. If the glue string lands on your
component, allow the glue to cool, then use a hair dryer and blow off the glue string. Adjustments to
the temperature and nozzle can also help reduce stringing. Glue strings can also be reduced with
higher temperature and smaller nozzles.
Operation:
1. Plug the glue gun into any 110 AC outlet with required specification; red light on means the power is
on.
2. Allow the tool to heat for 10 to 15 minutes before using. Insert a stick of adhesive (7/16”/11.2 mm
diameter) into the back of the tool.
3. When the gun is fully heated, squeeze the trigger slowly until the melted material begins to flow from
the nozzle. Release the trigger to stop the glue flow.
4. The output volume per trigger stroke can be adjusted by adjusting the patented stroke adjustor screw.
5. Different nozzle tips are available for different gluing applications and output amount.
6. Use the included screwdriver to adjust the operating temperature for which that glue stick is designed.
Gun temperature is adjustable from 284F to 428F (140C-220C)
7. Use the glue gun trigger to adjust the output and speed of the glue sticks.
8. Never pull sticks out of the back of the gun once inserted.
Save these safety rules for future use:
1. It is normal for this tool to become very warm during use. This does not indicate a problem.
2. The glue gun should be turned off and unplugged after use or if it will not be used within 1-hour
period. The adhesive can be stored indefinitely in the unheated gun and re-melted by heating up the
tool.
3. If you accidentally touch the molten hot glue, immediately immerse the affected area in cold water
and call a doctor. The injured area should be attended by a medical professional.
4. 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.
5. If the supply 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.

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. Periodically
inspect the electrical cord for any sign of wear or damage.
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 can be as high as 446°F (230°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.
*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.
Children should use this glue gun only under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.
Do not leave the glue gun unattended while plugged in or in a hot condition.
Make sure to have sufficient eye protective wear, like full mask, in order to avoid
damaging materials entering and causing long lasting effect to eye area, during use.
Use of Hot Melt Sticks with a diameter other than 11mm will damage the gun

Preventive Maintenance
1. To prevent the clogging of the glue gun, keep feeding mechanism and melt 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 may be damaged
or impaired. If you desire to change types of glue, cut off the protruding 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, on the metal
stand or workbench, 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. Keep outside of glue gun clean.
7. Only use approved 11mm diameter stick glue with this gun
