# Working Advice

- Keep people and animals away from the hot adhesive and the nozzle tip. Adhesive and nozzle tip will heat up to approx. 200 °C, posing a risk of burns. If hot adhesive comes into contact with skin, immediately hold the affected area under 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 gun and that are suitable for the processing temperature.

Adhesive bonds can become unstuck when they are affected by moisture or heat.

## Preparing for gluing

The bonding locations must be clean, dry and free from grease.

The materials to be glued together and the work surface must not be easily ignited or flammable.

Test whether heat-sensitive materials are suitable beforehand on a sample workpiece.

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 heat gun.

## Gluing

- Push the glue stick (3) suited to the material into the glue stick compartment (4).
- Switch on the glue gun and, if required, press the relevant temperature selection button (7) or (9) to select the suitable processing temperature for the glue stick.
- Allow the glue gun to heat up. The temperature selection button flashes green.

Once the temperature selection button is continuously lit green, the glue gun is ready to use.

- Apply moderate pressure to the feed trigger (10) and apply the adhesive to a single side.
- Press the materials you wish to glue together against each other for around 30 seconds immediately after applying the adhesive.
  It is still possible to correct the bonding location at this point.

The bond is stable after approx. 5 minutes of cooling time.

If you change the processing temperature during operation, the relevant temperature selection button (7) or (9) will flash green until the target temperature required is reached. The cooling process from 200 °C to 130 °C may take several minutes.

- Make sure you do not come into contact with the hot adhesive. Use a silicone mat to press permeable materials together.

## Changing the nozzle

Only use original Bosch nozzles (1 600 A02 EU3‎).

- The nozzle (1) can only be removed when it is hot. To do so, briefly heat up the glue gun.

- Wear protective gloves when changing the nozzle. Only hold the heated nozzle by the heat shield (2). Touching the hot nozzle tip poses a risk of burns.

- Fasten the new nozzle (1) until it is hand-tight.
