Operating Instructions

Powering On and Preheating

1. Slide the ON/OFF switch, located on the side of the glue gun, to the "ON" position.
2. The LED indicator light will illuminate, and the glue gun will begin to heat up.
3. Allow the glue gun to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes until it reaches its operating temperature. The nozzle will become hot.

Applying Glue

1. Once heated, gently squeeze the trigger to dispense molten glue from the precision nozzle.
2. The built-in LED light will illuminate your work area, aiding in precise glue placement, especially in low-light conditions.
3. Apply glue to one surface and quickly press the surfaces together. Hot glue sets rapidly, typically within 15-30 seconds, for optimal bonding.
