Feed mechanism adjustment
THIS IS FACTORY SET AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT
UNTIL THE TOOL HAS BEEN IN USE FOR SOME TIME.
This adjustment compensates for any wear or slackness in the trigger
movement. Typically free play at the trigger tip should be 0.3 –0.4”(8 -
10mm).
To re-set, insert A 2.5 mm hexagon key through the upper hole in feed bar
handle and turn clockwise to decrease free play. SEE DIAGRAM BELOW.
If feed mechanism adjustment is set too tight, plunger withdrawal will be very
difficult.
FOR ANY REPAIRS OR ADJUSTMENTS –OTHER THAN THOSE DETAILED
IN THIS MANUAL –PLEASE CONTACT 1-800-LOCTITE (562-8483).

Care and Maintenance
When in use, do not lay the tool on its side - always place upright using the stand
provided.
Do not use excessive force on the trigger. Ensure that the tool has fully warmed up
before use.
Keep the nozzle clean to prevent adhesive build-up. This is easily done by wiping
the nozzle with clean paper or cloth while the nozzle is still warm.
Replace the nozzle if worn or damaged.
Only replace the nozzle while the tool is
still warm. Disconnect the tool from the power supply before proceeding, and
always use protective gloves.
Unscrew the nozzle from the tool using either a 1/2”(13 mm) spanner, or the spanner-
feature moulded into the dispenser stand. Fit the replacement nozzle, ensuring that it
is securely tightened.
