1. Only empty fuel tank in a well
ventilated area and away from
ignition sources. Remember
butane is heavier than air.
2. Depress the filler valve at the
back of the tank with a small
bladed screwdriver and let the
butane gas escape through the
small orifice opening. It takes
approximately one minute for the
butane to escape from the tank.
Be careful that the butane does
not hit against your fingers or
hands. This could cause frostbite
of the skin.
3. One method is to poke a small
bladed screwdriver through a
piece of paper and then
How to Empty Tank of Butane Gas if Needed
carefully depress the filler valve.
The escaping gas will hit the
paper and not your hand.
4. Never turn gas lever to “ON”
and allow gas to evacuate
through the ejector/tip. Doing
this will clog the ejector and
lead to premature failure.
5. Never try to unscrew the filler
valve as it is adhesively bonded
to the tank. Breaking of this
bond will destroy the unit,
causing the tank to leak.
WARNING:
By-products of the combustion of the fuel used by this
product contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm.
WARNING:
The Department of Transportation Hazardous material
Regulations forbid the carriage of butane or other flammable gas
products on passenger aircraft. Do not pack this item or any other
flammable gas item, in any checked or carry-on baggage.
WARNING:
Do not clean or remove the adhesive with solvent. May
cause fire. For additional health and safety information, see the product
label and Material Safety Data Sheet for the Master Adhesive used.
To reduce the risk of injury or property damage,
READ AND UNDERSTAND the following
warnings:
1. The Glue Gun contains flammable gas under
pressure. Use with care.
2. Keep out of reach of children.
3. Use only Master Appliance Ultratane Butane
Fuel to insure maximum safety and
performance. MSDS upon request.
4. Do not fill gas, use or store near open flame,
heater, furnace or combustible materials.
5. Always point away from face and body while
igniting or operating.
6. The nozzle gets hot during operation. Do not
touch the nozzle, melted glue or main exhaust
port when hot or place them on a flammable
object.
7. Hot gases are emitted from all exhaust slots.
Do not leave Glue Gun unattended.
8. Wait for nozzles to cool before changing. Keep
hands and combustibles from nozzle area
while in use.
9. Use only glue sticks designed for use with
hotmelt glue guns. Do not use liquid or paste
adhesive.
10. Make sure the adjustment knob is firmly closed
and the flame is completely extinguished after
using.
11. To prevent fuel tank leakage, do not store in
environmental area that exceeds 104°F/40°C
Important Safety Instructions
Use only Master Ultratane butane with your Glue Gun.
Do not fill gas or store near open flame, heater,
furnace or combustible materials. Make sure the unit is
cool before re-fueling and that the switch is turned to
the “OFF” position. Fill gas holding the unit firmly with
the refill nozzle pointed upwards. Insert nozzle into the
gas filling valve and press down. Use pumping action
for best results (Fig. 1). Gas will overflow from nozzle
when tank is full. After filling allow the gas to stabilize
for a few minutes before lighting.
Fill with Ultratane
®
Butane
1. Use only 1/2” diameter glue sticks. Insert glue stick
through tunnel at the back of gun (Fig.3).
2. To start fuel flow, squeeze and slide (fig 3) switch to
“ON” position. You will hear a “hissing” sound.
3. Push the “Ignition Switch” to ignite the flame. Hold for
about 5-10 seconds before releasing (Fig. 4).
4. After igniting, the ceramic elements inside the air
vent will glow “red” (Fig. 5). Tip the gun forward on
folding stand under the nozzle to stand the gun. Wait
for a few minutes for it to heat up and allow the glue
to melt and soften.
5. During operation of your glue gun, gas flow is
thermostatically controlled for optimum fuel efficiency
and to maintain the glue melt chamber temperature
at 280F to 320F. Gas will flow intermittently
depending on chamber temperature.
NEVER LEAVE UNIT UNATTENDED WHEN
GAS IS ON.
Ignition Instructions
1. Direct nozzle tip at any clean/dry surface you wish to
bond. Check for proper adhesive selection.
2. To apply melted adhesive use steady finger pressure
on feed trigger. Release feed trigger to stop flow of
adhesive.
3. Do not use excessive pressure on feed trigger.
4. Insert 1/2 inch glue stick into transport mechanism
as needed.
Adhesive Application
1. Make sure the ON-OFF button is in the full OFF position. (fig. 3).
2. Stand the folding base to rest the glue gun and cool the nozzle,
before storing.
3. Store in proper location avoiding elevated temperatures and
away from children.
4. Leave tank approximately 1/2 full so lubrication of fuel pickup
filter remains wet.

NOTE:
For health and safety information, see
product label and Material Safety Data Sheet
for Master Adhesive before using.
NOTE:
When operating in extremes of
temperature (hot or cold), at high altitude,
ignition may be difficult due to the variation of
gas pressure caused by these extremes. Gas
control settings will also be affected and will
vary from those under normal conditions. If
difficulties are experienced, please contact
our Customer Service Department.
