Saf ty M asur s to b tak n during
Op ration
The equipment must only be used by trained, instructed
and authorized persons. These persons must have read
the operating instructions and be able to work
accordingly. Before using the applicator, check it for
visible damage and make sure that it is only used when
in proper and safe condition. Notify detected defects to
the appropriate person immediately.
Saf ty Instructions for th Op ration
Only fill the tank up to 1,5 cm (~0.6 inch) under the rim.
Never exceed the operating temperature of the hot melt.
This temperature is indicated in the technical datasheet
of the hot melt. Overheating may lead to decomposition
which may affect the health of the user as well as the
operability of the applicator.
Once the applicator has warmed up, nozzle and lid are
very hot.
Never start working before fitting a nozzle first.
Only replace nozzle when applicator is warmed up.
Unplug the connecting cable, before replacing a nozzle.
Warning: risk of burns! When a nozzle is replaced, liquid
glue might leak out.
Never bring the hot nozzle into contact with the cable.
Never direct the glue jet towards people.
When your skin got into contact with hot glue, cool it with
Wear protective gloves and safety
goggles whenever you work with the
applicator.
Avoid accidents by stumbling – Lay all
cables, hoses and conducts so that they
will not cause any risk of stumbling. For
this, install cable ducts and bridges.

Start-up and Control
Switch Applicator on/off
MS 80: The device starts heating up as soon as it is
plugged in. Unplug it to turn it off.
MS 200: An illuminated on/off-switch indicates that the
applicator is switched on. Press the switch in order to
turn the applicator on or off.
Minor leaking while the applicator is warming up is due to
the hot-melt expanding in the nozzle and heating
chamber.
Adjusting th trigg r (MS 200 only)
The adjustment of the trigger has influence on the lever
stroke and on how much glue can be dispensed at once.
A screwdriver can be used to turn the adjustable screw
on the left side of the applicators’ casing. The longer the
lever stroke, the more glue can be dispensed at once
and vice versa.
Wear protective gloves and safety
goggles whenever you work with the
applicator.
Avoid accidents by stumbling – Lay all
cables, hoses and conducts so that they
will not cause any risk of stumbling. For
this, install cable ducts and bridges.
Never direct the glue jet towards people!
The glue guns MS 80 and MS 200 are factory set to heat
up to approximately 200 °C when switched on.
MS 80: The temperature adjusting-screw can be found at
the back side of the applicator.
MS 200: The temperature adjusting-screw can be found
at the upper side of the applicator.
The temperature can be adjusted by turning the
adjusting-screw with a screw driver. The right-end stop is
the maximum temperature of 200 °C. Never turn the
screw with force! This will lead to damaging the
applicator. In order to lower the working temperature,
turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise.
Adjust T mp ratur
The glue applicator must only be used/applied for its
intended purpose. Please read the chapter „General
Safety Instructions“. If it is not used as intended, this may
cause bodily injuries or equipment damages. Disregard
of the safety instructions for the use of the applicator may
lead to serious burns.
Never lay the hot-melt applicator on its side.
Do not hold the nozzle top upward for too long.
Do not carry out overhead work.
Do not start working, before fitting a nozzle first.
Only replace nozzle when applicator is warm.
Only open the lid when the applicator has warmed up.
Do not overcharge the applicator; only fill it up to 1,5 cm
(~0.6 inch) under the rim.
Stop using the equipment, if the casing is damaged due
to shock, breakage or heavy wear.

Start-up and Control
The adjustment of the trigger influences the output
quantity and the lever stroke. The trigger can be adjusted
with a screw driver at the "Screw for Adjusting Trigger"
on the left casing side. The longer the lever stroke, the
more glue can be dispensed with one stroke and vice
versa.
Applying Hot-M lt
Make yourself familiar with applicator first. Apply a little
glue in varying forms on a piece of paper or cardboard;
for example dots and beads. Always keep the working
temperature of the specific hot-melt glue. This
temperature is indicated in the technical datasheet of the
hot-melt glue.
The quantity to be applied is determined by pulling the
trigger: the more you pull the more glue flows out.
Loading Hot-M lt
The MS 200 glue applicator must only be used to
dispense non-reactive hot-melts with a viscosity of 1000
up to 15.000 mPas*. Never feed other materials, dirt or
sharp objects like small fragments of metal. The hot-melt
glue applicator is only capable of working with all non-
reactive hot-melt types which are designed for working
temperatures of up to max. 200 °C.
After the end of the heat-up period (approx. 10 min.),
open the lid and load granulate up to just under the
lower rim of the feeding opening.
Close the lid and allow the applicator to melt the glue.
After the end of the heat-up period (approx. 5 min.),
open the lid by turning the star grip counter clockwise.
Load granulate up to 1,5 cm (~ 0.6 inch) under the lower
rim of the feeding opening.
Shut the lid, turn the stargrip clockwise until it is closed
and allow the applicator to melt the glue.
Wear protective gloves and safety
goggles whenever you work with the
applicator.
Never start working before fitting a nozzle
first.
Never direct the glue jet towards people!
MS 80
MS 200
*less than 1000 and more than 15.000 mPas possible with limitations.
Do not start working before the glue has molten. Partially
molten glue is thick and it needs a lot of force to press it
off the applicator. Doing so would damage the applicator.
Always deposit the glue applicator on the wire stand or
the respective plate destined for this purpose.
The glue applicator must not be laid on its side.
Do not open the lid before the applicator has warmed up.
When your skin got into contact with hot
glue, cool it with cold water immediately.
Do not try to remove the hot-melt from the
skin first. If necessary, consult a doctor.
When hot adhesive got into your eyes,
immediately cool them under running water for about 15
minutes. Consult your doctor at once!

Cl aning and Maint nanc
Start-up and Control
Picking up/putting down th Applicator
The glue guns have a wire stand which is used to put
down the applicator. Reka recommends folding in the
wire stand when working with the applicator.
Never fill soiled glue into the melting tank. If you observe all advices given in the operating manual, the glue applicator does,
normally, not need cleaning. The non-reactive glue contained in the applicator will remelt and can be used for gluing again.
The working temperature of the respective glue may be taken from the technical datasheet which can be procured from the
producer of the glue. This temperature must not be exceeded, otherwise the glue may coke in the glue applicator. Hot-melts on a
polyamide basis are particularly sensitive. If the glue has coked, the applicator should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaning
liquid.
Never clean the applicator with solvent, benzine, benzene, toluene, acetone, turpentine etc., risk of explosion!
If the applicator is used very often, we recommend having it maintained regularly. For this, fix a date with our service department.
Further more, the MS 200 can be put down on magnetic
surfaces by using the magnetic foot. In this case the wire
stand is not needed and can stay folded in.
R plac m nt of Nozzl s
Warning: risk of burns! When your skin got
into contact with hot glue, cool it with cold
water immediately. Do not try to remove the
hot-melt from the skin first. If necessary,
consult a doctor. When hot adhesive got
into your eyes, immediately cool them
under running water for about 15 minutes.
Consult your doctor at once!
For your own safety: wear protective gloves
and safety goggles when you replace
nozzles.
Always unplug the applicator before
replacing a nozzle!
Only replace nozzles when the glue applicator is warm
(instrument temperature 60 – 80 °C ) and empty.
Replacing a nozzle when the applicator is cold may
damage the equipment. Replacing the nozzle when the
applicator is too hot, causes liquid glue to flow out. The
melting range as well as the melting point of the used
glue may be taken from the technical datasheet of the
respective glue.
