6. Operating Instructions
- Apply Glue: Once preheated, gently squeeze the trigger to dispense melted glue from the nozzle. Apply the glue to one of the surfaces you wish to bond.

- Secure: Hold the bonded items in place for a few seconds until the glue cools and solidifies.
- Continuous Use: The 1.5m power cord allows for extended reach, and the power switch enables easy on/off control without unplugging.
- Anti-Drip Feature: The glue gun is designed with a multi-spring and sealed structure to minimize dripping. However, placing a protective mat underneath is recommended.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Nozzle: After use, allow the glue gun to cool completely. Once cool, any excess glue on the nozzle can be carefully peeled or wiped away. Do not use sharp objects to clean the nozzle while hot.
- Storage: Store the glue gun in a dry, clean place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is unplugged and completely cool before storing.
- Glue Stick Management: Do not force glue sticks into the gun. If a stick is jammed, allow the gun to heat up and gently push it through with a new stick.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No glue dispenses when trigger is squeezed. | Not plugged in, power switch off, not fully heated, glue stick not fully inserted. | Check power connection, turn on switch, allow 3 minutes for heating, ensure glue stick is pushed in completely. |
| Glue drips from the nozzle. | Normal for some hot glue guns, or slight excess pressure. | While this model has anti-drip technology, minor drips can occur. Place a silicone mat or protective surface underneath. Release trigger pressure slowly. |
| Glue gun not heating up. | Power issue, faulty unit. | Verify power outlet is working. Ensure power switch is on. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
