TO REMOVE CARTRIDGE HOLDER (FIG. 1, 6)
1. Remove the plunger screw (O) and cartridge plunger (P) from inside of cartridge holder (J).
2. Press and hold the plunge rod release trigger (A) and pull plunger rod handle (F) back to
access the barrel nut (Q). Release plunger rod release trigger.
3. With a 1/2" square drive tool, turn the barrel nut (Q) counterclockwise to remove.
4. The rear end washer (R), spacer (S) and cartridge holder (J) are now easily removed.
For installation of the cartridge holder, reverse the above procedure.
TO INSTALL SAUSAGE HOLDER (FIG. 1, 7)
1. Position the rear cap spacer (T) and the rear end cap (U) [fine threads] onto nose of the
tool.
NOTE: The side of the rear cap spacer (T) with the double collar faces away from the tool.
2. Place the rear end washer (R) on top of the rear end cap (U) and thread barrel nut (Q) into
the nose of the tool. Tighten and secure the barrel nut with a 1/2" square drive tool. This caulk
gun is designed to allow the rear end cap to rotate freely.
3. Press and hold the plunger rod release trigger and push the plunger rod (G) completely
forward. Release the trigger.
4. Thread the sausage holder (L) onto the rear end cap (U).
5. Assemble the barrel plunger (V) onto the plunger rod (G) and thread the plunger screw (W)
into the plunger rod. This will secure the barrel plunger (V) in place. Tighten securely.
NOTE: Prior to assembly of the sausage holder (L), ensure the o-ring (X) has been fully
lubricated. If not, use the lubricant included to completely lubricate the o-ring prior to assembly.
Periodic lubrication of the plunger o-ring (X) may be needed during the life of the caulk gun.
To maintain smooth operation while dispensing material, apply a light coating of the proviced
lubricant to the outside surface of the o-ring.
IMPORTANT:
• Under normal use, the lubricant included with the caulk gun is not expected to cause
eye irritation. Eye irritation may occur under direct contact or in poorly ventilated
areas.
• Short term skin contact with the lubricant is not expected to cause irritation. Direct,
repeated or prolonged exposure may result in skin irritation and redness.
6. Press and hold the plunge rod release trigger and pull the plunger rod handle back before
loading material. Pulling the barrel plunger back will lubricate the inside of the sausage
holder (L). Initial resistance of the plunger rod is expected until the barrel plunger has been
pulled completely back.
7. Place the nozzle (N) onto the sausage holder (L) and thread the nozzle cap (M) over the
nozzle.
To remove the sausage holder, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: The barrel nut (Q) may ocassionally need to be retighten to ensure the tool functions
properly. If the barrel nut in the carrier becomes loose, use a 1/2" square drive tool to retighten.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect battery
pack before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. To prevent inadvertant operation, lock the trigger switch when the tool is not in use and
when storing the tool.
Cleaning
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damaging the tool, material left in the cartridge/sausage holder
may dry if left unattended. Do not attempt to dispense material under this condition. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations when using caulk or adhesive material to reduce the risk of
property damage.
To clean the cartridge holder, follow manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning material from
nozzle, barrel plunger and plunger rod.
To clean the sausage holder, unscrew nozzle cap (M) and sausage holder (L) and remove
from tool. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning material from nozzle, barrel
plunger, plunger rod and sausage holder.

minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when
performing this.

of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
