Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
- Hot Nozzle: The nozzle and melted glue become extremely hot during operation. DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE OR MELTED GLUE. Always allow the glue gun to cool completely before handling the nozzle or storing the tool.
- Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating the glue gun.
- Ventilation: Use the glue gun in a well-ventilated area.

- Power Off: Always turn off the glue gun and remove the battery when not in use, before changing glue sticks, or before cleaning.
- Stable Placement: The glue gun is designed to stand upright on its own after battery insertion. Always place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface when not actively holding it to prevent accidental contact with the hot nozzle.
- Glue Stick Removal: Do not attempt to pull out a glue stick from the back of the gun while it is hot. This can damage the feeding mechanism.

- Preheating:
Allow the glue gun to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes. The LED indicator will turn green when the gun has reached its operating temperature and is ready for use.
Operating Instructions
- Apply Glue:
Once the LED indicator turns green, gently press the trigger to dispense melted glue from the nozzle. Apply glue to the desired surface. The gun delivers a consistent glue output of approximately 0.63 oz/min.

- Join Surfaces:
Immediately press the surfaces together after applying glue, as hot glue sets quickly. Hold firmly until the bond is secure.
- Replacing Glue Sticks:
When a glue stick is nearly depleted, insert a new glue stick into the rear opening and push it forward to advance the remaining short stick. Do not attempt to pull out a partially used glue stick from the back while the gun is hot, as this can damage the feeding mechanism.

Helpful Tip:
The full-length trigger design allows for comfortable use with various hand sizes, providing better control over glue dispensing.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the glue gun is completely cool and the battery is removed before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Nozzle Care: Do not attempt to clean the nozzle while it is hot. Any hardened glue around the nozzle can be carefully removed once the gun is cold.
- Storage: Store the glue gun in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Glue gun does not heat up. | Battery not installed correctly or discharged. Power switch is off. | Ensure battery is fully charged and properly seated. Turn the power switch to "ON". |
| No glue dispenses when trigger is pressed. | Glue gun not fully heated. Glue stick is too short or jammed. | Wait for the LED to turn green. Insert a new glue stick to push the old one forward. Do not force the trigger if the gun is cold. |
