3 Operation
Please always pay attention to the safety information in chapter 2.
Attention!
Observe the following instructions to prevent the risk of injuries and
damage to the device:
1. Never lay down the device on its side in its hot operative state. This
could cause the unchecked leakage of adhesive. Danger of burns!
2. Never remove the adhesive residues from the melting chamber by
force (e.g. with a scraper or screwdriver). This could damage the inte-
rior lining of the melting chamber.
3. Never loosen „frozen" hot-melt adhesive candles by force (e.g. with
tongs).
3.1 Initial operation
1. Insert the mains plug into a power socket.
2. If the adhesive candle has already been inserted, liquid adhesive can
come out of the nozzle. You should place the device on a suitable surface
to protect against this. Allow the device to heat up for between 3 and 4
minutes (depending on adhesive type).
3. Push the hot-melt adhesive candle to the opening in the rear of the device
as far as the blue insulation socket (5).
3.2 Operating information
Please observe the following tips and information so that you are able to
continuously achieve perfect adhesive application.
• Surfaces to be glued should be at room temperature and free of dust, gre-
ase and moisture. Remainders of wax, separating oils, plasticizers or imp-
regnation media on the workpieces can lead to loosening of the adhesion
immediately or later.
• Apply the hot-melt adhesive using points or lines. Larger adhesive points
remain adhesive longer than small ones. Immediately after applying the
adhesive, press the workpieces firmly together for a few seconds.
• Apply the adhesive slowly and continuously so that the processing tempe-
rature is not fallen below.
3.3 Changing the adhesive
If you want to change the adhesive type, push the remains of the old adhe-
sive out with the new adhesive candle.
You should never pull the old adhesive candle out of the device.
This can cause damage to the transport mechanism.
