Cleaning and Maintenance
Start-up and Control
Picking up/put down the Applicator
The MS 200 has a wire stand which is used to put down
the applicator. Reka recommends folding in the wire
stand when working with the applicator.
Never fill soiled glue into the melting tank. If you observe all advices given in the operating manual, the glue applicator does,
normally, not need cleaning. The non-reactive glue contained in the applicator will remelt and can be used for gluing again.
The working temperature of the respective glue may be taken from the technical datasheet which can be procured from the
producer of the glue. This temperature must not be exceeded, otherwise the glue may coke in the glue applicator. Hot-melts on
a polyamide basis are particularly sensitive. If the glue has coked, the applicator with should be cleaned with REKA cleaning
liquid (article no. 3519).
Never clean the applicator with solvent, benzine, benzene, toluene, acetone, turpentine, etc. risk of explosion!
If the applicator is used very often, we recommend having it maintained regularly. For this, fix a date with our service department.
Further more, the MS 200 can be put down on magnetic
surfaces by using the magnetic foot. In this case the
wire stand is not needed and can stay folded in.
Replacement of Nozzles
Warning: risk of burns! When your skin got
into contact with hot glue, cool it with cold
water immediately. Do not try to remove
the hot-melt from the skin first. If
necessary, consult a doctor. When hot
adhesive got into your eyes, immediately
cool them under running water for about
15 minutes. Consult your doctor at once!
For your own safety: wear protective
gloves and safety goggles when you
replace nozzles.
Always unplug the applicator before
replacing a nozzle!
Only replace nozzles when the glue applicator is warm
(instrument temperature 60 – 80 °C ) and empty.
Replacing a nozzle when the applicator is cold may
damage the equipment. Replacing the nozzle when the
applicator is too hot, causes liquid glue to flow out. The
melting range as well as the melting point of the used
glue may be taken from the technical datasheet of the
respective glue.
