GLUE GUN SAFETY WARNINGS
■Know your glue gun. Read operator’s manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this product.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
■Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with AS/NZS 1336 when
assembling parts, operating the product, or
performing maintenance. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■Do not lay a hot glue gun on its side.
■Place a piece of paper or cardboard underneath the
product to catch hot glue drips and prevent damage
to the underlying surface.
■Do not touch the heated nozzle of the glue gun.
■Use the glue gun in a well-ventilated area to avoid
breathing hot glue vapors.
■Do not point the nozzle of the glue gun at another
person.
■Do not tilt the glue gun nozzle upwards or use the
product to glue overhead items.
■Always allow hot glue to cool and dry completely
before handling the item to which it is applied.
■Do not insert anything except glue sticks into this
product, and insert only from the back of the glue
gun.
■Do not place your hands or fingers near the nozzle
of the glue gun when inserting a new glue stick.
■Never leave the glue gun unattended while it is in
the on position.
■Do not apply more hot glue than it is needed for
your application.
■Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
■Do not operate battery products in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Battery products create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a glue gun. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
■Do not allow children to use the glue gun. It is not
a toy.
■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.
■Do not expose battery products to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a battery product will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a battery product.
Do not use the product while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating battery products
may result in serious personal injury.
■Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the product. Carrying battery products with your finger
on the switch or energizing battery products that have
the switch on invites accidents.
■Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support. This enables better control of the battery
product in unexpected situations.
■Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can contact a
heated nozzle.
■Do not use the battery product if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any battery product that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
■Remove the battery pack from the product before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the product. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally.
■Store idle products out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the product or
these instructions to operate the product. Battery
products are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
■Maintain battery products. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the product’s
operation. If damaged, have the product repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained battery products.
■Use the battery product, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and

2
the work to be performed. Use of the product for
operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
■Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
■Use battery products only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
■When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
■Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
■Battery products do not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
■Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
■Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
■Do not charge battery product in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
■For best results, your battery product should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 10°C but less than 38°C. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or
in vehicles.
■Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap
and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■Have your battery product serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the battery
product is maintained.
■When servicing a battery product, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
■Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
ADDITIONAL SAFEY WARNINGS
■Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
■Always remove battery pack from the tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
■Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
■Battery tools are always in operating condition. Place
the switch in the off (O) position and remove the battery
pack when the product is not in use or when carrying
at your side.
■Always place the glue gun so that nozzle does not come
in contact with anything while it is heating or when not in
use. Following this rule will reduce the risk of damage to
items, burns, fire, or serious personal injury.
■Use caution when applying hot glue to thin or porous
material. The underlying surface could be damaged
or glue could adhere to the surface and be difficult to
remove.
■Do not force the trigger when applying hot glue. This
could damage the glue gun. Use a test piece of material
to make sure the glue has melted enough to flow
without forcing.
■Do not use your fingers to press down on an object to
which hot glue has just been applied. This can cause
hot glue to escape from the edges or heat up the
bonding surface and possibly cause burns or damage
to surrounding objects.
■Allow glue to dry completely before moving your work
to ensure proper adhesion and reduce the risk of burns.
■If applying glue to very small objects, use tweezers or

3
tongs to avoid getting the nozzle close to your fingers.
■Allow the glue stick and glue gun nozzle to completely
cool before removing the battery pack.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
