and damage to the tool.

moment, and try to pull the rod out after the motor
stopped. If the rod is still clogged, perform the
same action until the rod is able to move.

operation. Be careful how much you cut the nozzle. The
diameter of the nozzle affects the amount of caulking
material dispensed.
Pull the trigger to dispense caulking material.

determined by the trigger, the speed adjusting dial, the
diameter of the nozzle opening, caulking material type,
and temperature.

'1' and pull the trigger slowly at the first time to test how
much amount of caulking material is dispensed.
When the rod reaches front end, the motor starts idling.

following items:
Nozzle tip is not cut adequately. Cut the nozzle tip
suitable for individual operation.
Hardened material gets clogged in the nozzle.
