L Glue marks on clothing cannot be
removed.
L Make sure heat-sensitive materials
are suitable for gluing with hot-melt
adhesive.
L Drips of glue are best removed
when cold.
L Do not pull glue sticks out of the
applicator. Hot glue running into the
applicator may cause damage.
L Optimum adhesion is achieved
when the bond is established in-
stantly on applying the glue.
L Unplug when not in use or during
prolonged work breaks (more than
30 min).
L Before inserting a new glue stick,
wait a moment for the cold cartridge
to heat up. Never force the glue
stick through the applicator.
L Always screw the nozzle tight after
replacing it (approx. 1 Nm).

to the charging station (e.g. if glue
feeding becomes sluggish or glue
becomes too viscous).

out a problem provided the glue is
applied to the substrate material and
not to the polystyrene (e.g. in dots).
