Accessories The GMC DEC005GG comprises the following components: 1 x Instruction manual 10 x Glue sticks (150mm x O11mm) Operation WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source, be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the tool. Preparing to glue The GMC Glue Gun is typically used for minor repairs around the home and for a range of craft and other hobby work. 1. Before beginning to glue, secure the work piece so that it does not move and affect your accuracy. 2. Prepare a bowl of cold water and place near the work area. In the event of hot glue touching your skin, submerge the affected area of skin into the bowl of water immediately. Setting up the glue gun work stand NOTE. Ensure the glue gun is resting properly on the work stand (3) before switching on. 1. By firmly holding the rubber grip (6) with one hand, take hold of the stand (3) with the other hand and pull it down, and forward until it locks into the position closest to the glue distribution nozzle (2). When resting properly, the glue gun should face downwards at approximately a 45° angle. Switch on WARNING. Do not leave the tool turned on for prolonged periods without use as it will cause the glue stick to partially melt inside and necessitate a repair. 1. Load the glue stick (5) into the glue stick feeder (4) at the rear of the glue gun. As the trigger is squeezed, a tab feeds the glue stick (5) into the heated element where it melts into an adhesive. 2. Ensure the glue gun is resting securely on its work stand (3) before plugging it into a power outlet. 3. After switching on the power, allow the tool approximately 5 minutes to heat up to its operating temperature. Switch off 1. Place the glue gun securely on its stand (3) so the nozzle does not burn your table top. 2. Switch off the tool at the power supply and unplug the unit. 3. Ensuring the glue gun is placed on it’s stand after use, place paper or a rag underneath the nozzle (2) as a small amount of glue may drip during cool down. 4. Unplug the glue gun when finished. Permanently having the unit plugged in at the mains may cause the unit to overheat. NOTE. For safety, please ensure the unit is supervised until it has entirely cooled down. Gluing WARNING. Never touch the nozzle (2) or the top end of the glue gun housing as it gets extremely hot. NOTE. If the glue gun has been in stand-by with the power on, press the trigger gently and hot glue will flow from nozzle. Never squeeze the trigger (1) hard as the glue may overflow from the inlet tube. 1. Feed a glue stick (5) into the glue stick feeder (4). 2. Press trigger (1) several times until the glue stick is firmly set into the glue stick feeder (4). 3. After a 5 minute heat up period (approximately), hold the glue gun firmly on the rubber grip (6) and place your finger on the trigger (1). 4. Hold the glue gun firmly by the rubber handle (6) with the nozzle (2) pressed onto one part of the workpiece. 5. When the nozzle is in place, slowly and gently squeeze the trigger (1) so that glue is dispensed from the nozzle (2). If the trigger is squeezed too hard, it will become damaged. NOTE. Glue will dispense in fat blobs if the trigger is pressed hard and quick, and will flow in a thin and even stream if gentle pressure is applied to the trigger. 6. When the glue stick has almost finished inside the glue gun, insert another glue stick in the same way as previously described. 7. Once the glue has been applied, the two pieces of material should be pressed together (within 15 seconds) for a short time to wait for it to dry. A vice of g-clamps can be used for this purpose. 8. Unplug the glue gun when finished. Never pull the glue stick out of the back of the glue gun. For the next operation, just connect the tool to the mains and allow to warm up.
