Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable
reel always unwind the reel completely.
3. Operation
Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
This glue gun (kit) has been especially designed
for glueing products such as wood, plastic, foam,
rubber, fabric, cardboard, tiles, ceramics, etc.
Quickly setting, the glue is perfect for repairing
carpets, bookbinding, fixing soles, etc. The glue
is waterproof and resistant to the action of many
liquids. The glue gun is quick, environmentally-
friendly, energy-saving and together with the glue
facilitates and quickens any job.
Due operating the glow gun
• The normal setting time of the hot glue is 30
seconds. After 30 seconds the glue starts to
set. Having applied the glue on the relevant
surfaces, wait 15 - 20 seconds before joining
them.
• After about 1 minute the joint has reached 90%
of its adhesive strength.
• The setting time can be extended to 50 to 60
seconds by applying the glue in thick drops or
shortened by applying the glue in short, fine
lines.
• Joining large surfaces is difficult, as the glue
tends to set before the entire surface has been
covered with glue.
• Preheating the surfaces to be joined
guarantees a strong joint. Sun rays have the
same impact.
• The glue melts from a temperature of approx.
140°C and must never be used on material
that is sensitive to heat.
• The glue gun can be used to replace nails,
paper tape, liquid glue, but not for heavy-duty
jobs.
• The electric glue gun features accurate
temperature control. It is fitted with a special
design feed system that ensures no glue is left
behind inside the mechanism.
• The glue gun requires Ø 11.2 mm glue
cartridges.
• The glue gun comes standard with a bracket
that enables you to put the gun safely on the
table when it is not used.
Operation
• Plug in the tool.
• Insert a glue cartridge into the gun, two when
using it for the first time.
• Wait 5 minutes for the glue to heat.
• Squeeze the trigger to release the glue.
• Replace the glue cartridge as soon as you
notice little if any glue is released from the gun.
• Disconnect the tool if you do not intend to use
it for some time.
Replacing the nozzle
• Loosen the orange nozzle.
• Fit the nozzle on the glue gun.
Before removing the nozzle, allow the
glue gun to cool down completely to avoid
injuries. Always disconnect the tool.
4. Service and maintenance

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool. Save these instructions.
1) Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust of fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs which
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Always
use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker
device.
3) Personal safety
a. 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 serious personal
injury.
b. Use safety equipment.Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
