Keep the appliance away from all flammable material.

Be aware that this product may ignite material. Where this 
is a concern, test a piece of scrap material.

Never leave the appliance plugged in and unattended. 

After use, unplug the appliance, allow the attachment to 
cool and store in a safe place out of the reach of children.

Fumes resulting from heating materials for craft 
activities may be hazardous.

 Always work in a well 

ventilated area. Seek advice on the materials being used.

Never attempt to insert any material other than 
recommended glue sticks, sealer, or caulk sticks in 
the glue gun.

 For example: Do not attempt to melt crayons 

or candles.

DO NOT use hot melt glue to take the place of 
structural fasteners.

The glue sticks used with this glue gun will begin to 
soften at about 60°C

. Don't use the glue on objects or 

materials that are subjected to heat.

Avoid accidental glue discharge.

 Forcing glue sticks into 

an unheated appliance may damage the appliance or cause 
hot glue to be unexpectedly expelled from nozzle when the 
operating temperature is achieved. Glue may discharge from 
a heated appliance without pressure applied to the trigger 
(1). Return the appliance to the stand and use a heat 
resistant material to protect the work surface.

This appliance is not a toy. 

Keep out of the reach of 

children.

Assembly
Warning! 

Before cleaning, adjustment or changing the 

attachments. Unplug the appliance and allow the attachment to 
cool.

Power connection (fig. A & B)

The appliance can be used either in cordless or corded mode.

In cordless mode the power supply is taken from the stand 
(3) to heat the element. This is suitable for small tasks where 
a small amount of glue is required. 

The heating element will start to cool as soon as the 
appliance is removed from the stand (3). When the ready for 
use indicator (5) changes to grey, or when the glue is no 
longer flowing freely, return the appliance to the stand (3).

In corded mode the connector (6) can be removed from the 
stand (3) and inserted directly into the appliance. This is 
suitable for heavy duty tasks.
