Key to symbols

Violation of the safety instructions

in this manual poses a risk of

death or injury and a risk of

damage to the device.

Risk of electric shock.

General safety instructions

Warning! All instructions must be read.

Failure to comply with the following

instructions can cause electric shock,

burn and/or other serious injury. Adhere

faithfully to these instructions!

Burn hazard! The glue and nozzle reach

a temperature of 200°C. Do not touch the

nozzle or glue. Do not allow the hot glue to

touch people or animals.

In the event of contact with skin,

immediately hold the area under cold

running water for several minutes. Do not

try to remove glue from the skin.

Device specications / Safety instructions

7GB/IE/CY

If the electrical cord becomes damaged,

it must be replaced with a special cord.

These are available from the manufacturer

or authorised customer service.

This device is not intended for use by

people (including children) with limited

physical,

sensory or mental capacity or those who

lack experience and/or knowledge.

Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the device.

WARNING! This tool must be kept on its

stand when not in use. Fire hazard!

Before using the device

Use of this device may result in injury and

property damage through fire or electric

shock. Before using the device, you must

therefore check the following: Make sure

that the voltage listed on the glue gun

corresponds to the voltage of the power

supply.

Make sure that the electrical cord (11) •

and plug are in proper condition: The

cord and plug must be of the proper

size and intended for the purpose; the

cord must not be tangled or damaged.

Do not use an extension cord that is •

longer than necessary for the intended

use!

Never lock the feed switch in place.•

Do not use the device in damp •

surroundings.

While using the device

The metal glue nozzle gets hot. Be careful

not to touch the glue nozzle. Burn hazard!

Never leave the device unsupervised when

turned on. Fire hazard!

Always use caution when working. Molten

glue is hot and can cause painful burns

to the skin. Due to its viscosity, hot glue

cannot be removed from the skin quickly.

If you cannot prevent contact with molten

glue, rinse the affected areas of the skin

with cold water. This hardens the glue

immediately and helps to limit the effect of

the burn.

Electrical safety

When using electrical devices, adhere to

all locally applicable safety regulations

regarding the risks of fire, electric shock

and injury. Inform yourself of and conform

to those regulations as well as the

instructions provided here.

Always check to see whether your

electrical voltage corresponds to

that shown on the model

designation label.

Protection Class II device –

insulated – no ground contact

necessary.

Replacing cables or plugs

If the electrical cord becomes damaged,

it must be replaced with a special cord.

These are available from the manufacturer

or authorised customer service. Dispose

of old cords or plugs immediately after

replacing them with new ones. It is

dangerous to insert the plug from a loose

or damaged cord into an electrical outlet.

Using extension cords

Only use a suitable, certified and

appropriately marked extension cord that

corresponds to the device rating. The core

must be at least 1.5 mm in diameter. If the

cord is on a reel, it must be fully unwound.

3. USING THE DEVICE

You can use this glue gun to adhere many

materials and to do many small repair

and decoration jobs in the home. You can

gently glue plastic, cardboard, textiles,

wood, metals and even glass. In addition,

you can get glue sticks at specialty stores

that are made specifically to permanently

glue materials like wood, leather and

ceramics. These special glue sticks

provide even better results.

Before using

Prepare the surface to be glued:

Do not use any flammable solvents to •

clean the gluing surface.

The ambient temperature, and that of •

the material being glued, must be no

colder than +5°C and no warmer than

+50°C.

The gluing surfaces must be clean, dry •

and free of grease.

Roughen smooth surfaces before •

gluing.

For better adhesion, warm up materials •

that cool quickly, such as steel.

Mount the stand (6) and screw on the •

desired glue nozzle (8). Choose the

glue nozzle that gives you the best

access to the gluing surface.

Working with the cord:

Connect the electrical cord (11) with the 1.

glue gun’s electrical connector (10).

Insert the plug into the electrical outlet.

Fold the stand (6) forward. Set the 2.

device down.

Insert a glue stick into the feed canal 3.

(1).

Allow the device to heat up for about 4 4.

minutes. The device is now ready to

operate.

Working without the cord:

Connect the electrical cord (11) with the 1.

charging station’s electrical connector

(3). Insert the plug into the electrical

outlet.

Place the glue gun into the charging 2.

station (4).

Insert a glue stick into the feed canal 3.

(1).

Allow the device to heat up for about 4 4.

minutes. The device is now ready to

operate.

Repeat the preheating phase if the glue 5.

comes out stiff or gooey.

To remove the glue gun from the charger,

press the glue gun forward and remove it

from the charger. (Fig. D)

Gluing:

Press the feed switch (5) to regulate •

the required flow of glue.

Apply the glue in dabs. For flexible 1.

materials, such as textiles, apply the

glue in a zigzag pattern.

After the glue has been applied, 2.

immediately press the two glued pieces

together for about 30 seconds. The

glued surface reaches full strength in

about 5 minutes.

During work interruptions, set the glue 3.

gun on the stand (6) or place it in the

charging station (4).

After cooling, remove any remaining 4.

glue with a sharp knife. The glued

areas become loose again if heated.

Turning the device off:

Pull the plug from the outlet.•

Selecting the correct nozzle:

Fig. B

Nozzle 8A: For normal use.

Nozzle 8B: To be used for flat openings

and small areas.

Nozzle 8C: To be used for small holes and

difficult to reach places.

Using the device

9GB/IE/CY

Changing glue nozzles:

Wear protective gloves.•

Heat up the device for about 4 minutes. •

Change the glue nozzles (8) when they

are warm.

Burn hazard! Touch the glue nozzle only

on the heat protection sheath (9). The tip of

the glue nozzle is hot and can cause burns.

4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

before inspecting or cleaning.

Never clean the glue gun’s

electrical components with water
