Safety Instructions
Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the hot glue gun to prevent injury or damage.
- Hot Surfaces: The nozzle and melted glue become extremely hot. Avoid direct contact with skin to prevent burns. Use caution and protective gloves if necessary.
- Adult Supervision: This tool is not a toy. Adult supervision is required when used by children.
- Power Source: Ensure the power supply matches the voltage specified on the glue gun (230 Volts AC). Do not use with damaged cords or plugs.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Flammable Materials: Do not use near flammable liquids, gases, or materials. The glue gun features flame-retardant materials for enhanced safety.
- Stable Surface: Always place the glue gun on its integrated stand on a stable, heat-resistant surface when not in use. Do not lay it on its side when hot.
- Do Not Pull Out Glue Stick: Never pull out a partially used glue stick from the back of the gun while it is hot, as this can damage the heating mechanism.
- Unplug When Not In Use: Always unplug the glue gun from the power outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
- Avoid Tilting Upwards: Do not tilt a hot glue gun upwards, as melted glue may flow back into the mechanism and cause damage.

Setup
- Insert Glue Stick: Insert a 10mm diameter glue stick into the hole at the back of the glue gun. Push it in until it stops.
- Place on Stand: Extend the metal stand at the front of the glue gun and place the gun on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 230V AC electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
Power Settings
The Assark Hot Glue Gun features dual power settings for different applications:
- 60W (Low Power): Ideal for smaller, delicate tasks where glue needs to dry quickly.
- 100W (High Power): Suitable for larger projects or when a slower drying time is desired for repositioning.

Using the Glue Gun
- Turn On: Flip the power switch to either 60W or 100W. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Preheat: Allow the glue gun to preheat for 3-5 minutes. The glue will become molten and ready for use.
- Apply Glue: Gently squeeze the trigger to dispense melted glue from the nozzle. Apply glue to one surface you wish to bond.
- Join Surfaces: Press the two surfaces together immediately after applying glue. Hold firmly for a few seconds until the glue sets.
- Continuous Use: As you use the glue, the glue stick will shorten. Insert a new glue stick into the back to push the remaining one forward.
- Turn Off: When finished, switch the power off and unplug the glue gun.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Nozzle: After the glue gun has cooled completely, you can gently wipe any excess dried glue from the nozzle with a dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents.
- Storage: Store the glue gun in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure it is completely cooled before storing.
- Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the glue gun. Store it loosely to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Glue not dispensing | Not preheated sufficiently; Glue stick not fully inserted; Glue stick too small. | Allow more preheating time (3-5 min); Push glue stick in firmly; Ensure 10mm diameter glue sticks are used. |
| Glue drips excessively | Overheated; Glue gun tilted upwards. | Ensure proper power setting for task; Always keep the nozzle pointed downwards or level when hot. |
| Glue gun not heating | Not plugged in; Power switch off; Faulty outlet. | Check power connection; Ensure switch is ON; Test outlet with another device. |
