NOTE: The LED will remain solid green when the glue pen is ready for use.

NOTE: Different types of glue sticks will heat to working temperature at different rates. Always test on a scrap piece to make sure the glue is at optimum temperature.

Place the glue pen in the stand while heating.
NOTE: The drip tray stand will catch any drips while the glue pen is heating.

WARNING:
Always place the glue pen so that nozzle does not come in contact with anything while it is heating or when not in use. Following this rule will reduce the risk of damage to items, burns, fire, or serious personal injury.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR USE

Before applying glue to a surface or workpiece, use a scrap piece of paper or material that is similar to your workpiece as a test.
Use caution when applying hot glue to thin or porous material. The underlying surface could be damaged or glue could adhere to the surface and be difficult to remove.
Do not force the pen tab when applying hot glue. This could damage the glue pen. Use a test piece of material to make sure the glue has melted enough to flow without forcing.
Apply only as much glue as needed for your application. n When gluing two objects together, do not pick up the object to which hot glue has been applied. Instead, pick up the other object and join it to the object to which you have applied hot glue.
Do not use your fingers to press down on an object to which hot glue has just been applied. This can cause hot glue to escape from the edges or heat up the bonding surface and possibly cause burns or damage to surrounding objects.
Allow glue to dry completely before moving your work to ensure proper adhesion and reduce the risk of burns.
If applying glue to very small objects, use tweezers or tongs to avoid getting the nozzle close to your fingers.

APPLYING HOT GLUE

Install the battery pack.
Press and hold the power button for three seconds. The LED will flash green for 30 seconds while glue pen begins to heat.
NOTE: The LED will remain solid green when the glue pen is ready for use.
Allow time for the glue to melt so that it flows freely from the nozzle.
Hold the glue pen firmly, as shown in figure 3. Place the nozzle close to the surface where glue will be applied.
NOTE: Holding the glue pen too far from the intended surface may result in applying glue to a surface other than your workpiece or may result in "strings" of glue between your work and the nozzle.
Press the tab on either side of the glue pen until glue flows from the nozzle. Do not over-apply glue.
When the desired amount of glue has been applied, release the tab. Tilt the nozzle slightly to the side and carefully pull the nozzle away from the object. This helps avoid strings of glue clinging to the work.

NOTE: The glue pen will stop dispensing glue when the glue stick in the chamber is almost used up. Insert another glue stick into the chamber.

NOTE: The LED will show a solid red when battery charge is low. The LED will flash red three times before turning off due to low battery charge.

Always press the power button off when you are finished using the glue pen. The LED will turn off when the glue pen is no longer heating.
Set the glue pen on the drip tray stand while the product cools to catch possible glue drips.
Allow the glue stick and glue pen nozzle to completely cool before removing the battery pack, and before storage.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

STORAGE

Ensure the glue pen is off and allow the glue pen to cool completely before storing. Remove the battery pack.

WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack before storage to ensure the product is off. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of cool-down time before storage. Storing a glue pen with a hot nozzle can cause serious burns and/or ignite combustible objects.

To help prevent drips and clogs the next time the glue pen is used, remove dried glue from the nozzle area.
