Safety instructions Safety instructions Potential hazards Danger! Never point the operation-ready device at people. Danger from high pressure! Burn Hazard Nozzle (1) and molten adhesive can be over 390° F / 200 °C hot. Wear heat-resistant gloves if contact is unavoidable. Risk of Explosion! When working with oxygen or combustible gases there is risk of explosion! Odor nuisance! Hot-melt adhesives give off fumes which can cause odour nuisance – so ensure adequate ventilation. Improper use may in isolated cases lead to irritation of the mucous membrane. In this case seek immediate medical advice! Instructions for safe operation Guard against malfunctions and operating errors by always following these instructions precisely: • In no circumstances may the maximum permitted operating pressure (87 psi / 6 bar) be exceeded. • Remove combustible or heat-sensitive objects from the area of the nozzle (1). • When warm the device must be put down on the support hoop (18) or working console. It must not be laid on its side. Otherwise melt may escape uncontrolled through the vent holes and present a burn hazard. • Never operate the trigger (16) forcibly. • Protect the device from moisture and damp (protection against electric shock).
Starting Starting Connecting up 3.1.1 Connecting up (operation without working bracket/workstation) To connect up the device proceed as follows: 1. Fit the stand: • To do this insert pin (B) of the base (1) into hole (A) in the casing. • Move the base (1) in direction (C) until it is just in contact with the casing. • To dismantle the base do the above in reverse order. 2. Place the device on the base and stand hoop. 3. Fit the supplied pressure-reducing valve to a quick-action coupling in the compressed- air supply. The water separator must be facing downwards when you do this. Observe the requirements made of the compressed-air supply (Section 1.2, “Technical data“). 4. Set the operating pressure to 58 psi / 4 bar with the pressure regulator (3). 5. Connect the mains plug to a socket outlet with earthing contact. 6. Switch on the device. The device is now ready for use. 3.1.2 Connecting up (operation with working bracket/workstation) To connect up the device proceed as follows: 1. Place the device in the working bracket.
Starting Settings on the temperature regulator 3.3.1 Setting the working temperature 1. To set the working temperature press the Set button. The current working temperature is displayed. 2. Hold the Set button down. Select the required working temperature using the Up/Down buttons. Briefly pressing the Up or Down button changes the working temperature in steps of 1° F / 1°C per button-press. Pressing the button for longer changes the working tem- perature continuously. The new setting is saved automatically when the buttons are released. 3.3.2 Reading out and setting the control parameters Pressing the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for at least 4 s brings up a parameter list. Some parameters can be set, others only read out. The table below summarises the parameters: Function Settable Setting Standard Customer ram- range value value eter Setpoint lowering 1…180° F...

Operation Charging Burn hazard! Nozzle and molten adhesive can be over 390° F / 200 °C hot. Always wear heat-resistant gloves when performing the steps described below. 1. Place the device in the working bracket or on the base. 2. Switch the device on (see Section 3.2). Wait until the working temperature has been reached. 3. Take hold of the device by the handle with one hand (17). With the other hand turn the lever (10) clockwise through 180º and swivel the closure cap open. 4. Fill the tank to a level not less than 2 cm below the rim. The maximum level is marked on the device with a sticker (see illustration left). Do not charge the device above this level since the melt expands when heated. max. Level 5. Swivel the closure cap back. Turn the lever (10) anticlockwise as far as it will go, in order to lock the cap. Discharging and metering melt 1. Place the device in the working bracket or on the base. 2. Switch the device on. Wait until working temperature has been reached. 3. Check that there is enough melt in the tank. Burn hazard! If the device is “run dry” drops of melt may escape uncontrolled and endanger the opera- tor and persons in the vicinity. Every time you actuate the trigger, therefore, first carry out step (3.) above. 4. Actuate the trigger (16) You can meter the quantity discharged by altering the pressure (max. 87 psi / 6 bar) at the pressure regulator (3) and/or selecting an appropriate nozzle.
What, if… Adjusting the spray pattern (HB 710 Spray only) The spray pattern is altered by adjusting the spray air. Set the optimum spray pattern by turning the spray-air choke (14) in the protective sleeve (13): • Turning it clockwise decreases the spray-air pressure. • Turning it anticlockwise increases the spray-air pressure. Automatic temperature reduction (ACE) Unnecessary thermal loading of the melt should be avoided. The device therefore switch- es to standby mode at reduced temperature when the trigger has not been actuated for a considerable time (paused operation). In the condition as supplied the temperature is reduced by 72° F / 40 °C after 30 minutes’ paused operation. The programming of the relevant parameters is described in Section 3.3.2. Briefly actuate the trigger or the Up or Down button to quit standby mode. The device im- mediately reheats to working temperature. Switching off 1. Press the Start/Stop button (6) for approx. 1 s until the display goes out. 2. Adjust the operating pressure down to “0” with the pressure regulator (3) or disconnect the compressed-air supply. What if... This Section summarises the status and error messages and provides help in eliminating errors.
