The hot nozzle can cause damage and/or burns.Working Advice Do not allow the hot glue or the nozzle tip to come intocontact with persons or animals. Glue and nozzle tipreach a temperature of approx. 170 °C; danger of burning.If hot glue comes into contact with the skin, hold the affect-ed area immediately under a stream of cold water for sev-eral minutes. Do not try to remove the glue from the skin.Use only glues recommended by the manufacturer of the gluepen (see page 3).Bonded connections can loosen under the effect of moisture.Preparations for GluingThe surfaces to be glued must be clean, dry and free ofgrease.The materials to be glued as well as the surface on which youare working may not be easily ignitable or inflammable.Check the suitability of heat-sensitive materials first on a testworkpiece.The ambient temperature and the workpieces to be glued maynot be colder than +5 °C and warmer than +50 °C.Materials, such as metal, which cool off the glue quickly,should be preheated with a hot air gun.Gluing (see figure B)– Insert the appropriate glue stick 6 for the material beingglued via the opening at the rear of the glue pen.– Switch the glue pen on and allow it to heat up (see “Switch-ing On”, page 10).The glue pen is ready for operation after approx. 15 sec-onds.– Press the feed trigger 3 applying moderate pressure.– Apply the glue only on one side (also see “Practical Ad-vice”, page 11).– After applying the glue, immediately press the surfaces tobe glued together. Correcting the gluing location is stillpossible at this point.The glued spot can be subjected to load after a cool-downperiod of approx. 2 minutes.Practical AdviceRemove glue residue after cooling with a blunt object. If re-quired, glued spots can be separated again by applying heat. Do not use inflammable solvents for cleaning the sur-faces to be glued. Solvent remainders can ignite from thehot glue, or hazardous vapours can develop.Glue remainders on clothing cannot be removed.Glued spots can be painted.Troubleshooting – Causes and Corrective MeasuresMaterial/Workpiece RecommendationLarge-surfaces, long work-piecesApply the glue in the form ofpointsFlexible materials(e.g. textiles)Apply the glue in linesProblem Cause Corrective MeasureThe glue stick is not transported.
