Operation
Starting Operation
Switching On and Off
To switch on the glue pen, press and hold the on/off
button (4) until the LED indicator (5) lights up green.
The LED indicator (5) will flash while the tool is warming up.
When it is continuously lit up, the glue pen is ready to use.
To switch off the glue pen, press and hold the on/off
button (4) until the LED indicator (5) goes out.
Note: The glue pen will switch itself off automatically after
ten minutes to save energy.
When switching on again, check the LED indicator (5): If it
briefly lights up red, the battery needs to be charged.
Place the glue pen down in a safe place after use and
u
let it cool down completely before packing it away.
The hot nozzle can cause damage.
Working Advice
Keep people and animals away from the hot adhesive
u
and the nozzle tip. Adhesive and nozzle tip will heat up to
170 °C, posing a risk of burns. If hot adhesive comes into
contact with skin, immediately hold the affected area un-
der a stream of cold water for several minutes. Do not try
to remove the hot adhesive from the skin.
Only use adhesives that have been recommended by the
manufacturer of the glue pen.
Adhesive bonds can become unstuck when they are affected
by moisture.
Preparing for gluing
The bonding locations must be clean, dry and free from
grease.
Errors – causes and corrective measures
Problem Cause
Glue stick is not being con- Glue stick has been used up
veyed.
Glue stick diameter is too large or too small Only use recommended original glue sticks
Glue stick is too short
Glue stick is falling out of Glue stick diameter too small
the glue pen.
Adhesive continues to flow Melting point of glue stick is too low
or drip for a long time after
feed is stopped.
Glue pen drips constantly Melting point of glue stick is too low
without any pressure being
applied to the feed trigger.
Bosch Power Tools
The materials to be glued together and the work surface
must not be easily ignited or flammable.
Test whether heat-sensitive materials are suitable before-
hand on a sample workpiece.
The ambient temperature and the workpieces to be glued
must not be colder than +5 °C and not warmer than +50 °C.
Materials that cool the adhesive down quickly should be
warmed first with a hot air gun.
Gluing (see figure B)
Push the glue stick (6) suited to the material into the glue
stick compartment (7).
Switch the glue pen on and allow it to heat up. The LED indic-
ator (5) flashes.
As soon as the LED indicator (5) is continuously lit, the glue
pen is ready to use.
Apply moderate pressure to the feed trigger (3).
Apply the adhesive to a single side.
Press the materials you wish to glue together against each
other for around 10 to 30 seconds immediately after apply-
ing the adhesive. It is still possible to correct the bonding
location at this point.
The bond is stable after approx. two minutes of cooling time.
Make sure you do not come into contact with the hot
u
adhesive. Use a silicone mat to press permeable materi-
als together.
Application tips
Material/workpiece Recommendation
Long workpieces with large Apply adhesive in dots
surface areas
Flexible materials Apply adhesive in lines
(e.g. textiles)
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the bonding
u
locations. The hot glue could ignite any solvent residue or
release hazardous fumes.
Adhesive residue on clothing cannot be removed.
The bonding locations can be painted.
