Trouble Shooting Guide Figure 6-1 If you cannot find your problem listed below, please call us. We can most likely solve your problem over the phone. The number to call is 1-800-369-5746. 1. If Dowels do not come out of gun when cycled... A- Check that the dowel feeder control is turned up far enough? Turn control up (front panel) B- IS THERE A SHARP BEND IN THE SUPPLY HOSE TO THE GUN?
F- IS THE DOWEL HOSE FULL OF DOWELS? Only one dowel at a time should be in the hose. If you do not get a dowel out the front of the gun only cycle it once more then stop if you still haven’t gotten a dowel. Open the dowel reject slide just underneath the nozzle of the gun and empty out any build up of dowels you have.
B- ARE YOU USING THE WRONG TYPE OF GLUE? If you are using too thick of glue it may cause dribbling at the nozzle. Make sure to use the proper glue designed for your dowel inserter. It can make a world of difference. A sample of glue is sent with the machine and also the glue specifications are located in the front cover of this manual.
