Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

- Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the glue gun or the instructions to operate the glue gun.

- This glue gun is not intended for use by children and persons with physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.

- This glue gun can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the glue gun and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.

- Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the glue gun.

- Children must not be allowed to clean and perform maintenance on the glue gun without supervision.

- Always check the glue gun before using it. If damage is detected, do not use the glue gun. Do not open the glue gun yourself, and have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged glue guns increase the risk of an electric shock.

- Do not leave the glue gun unattended while it is switched on.

| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

- Do not throw the glue stick into fire.

- Safely place the glue gun down after use and let it cool completely before packing it away. The hot nozzle can cause damage.

- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Doing otherwise poses a fire hazard.

- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

- Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

- Do not touch the nozzle while it is hot. There is a risk of burns.

- Wear protective glasses while working overhead. This will protect your eyes against any glue that drops down.

- Do not direct the glue gun at other persons or yourself during operation. Hot adhesive may cause burns.

- Ensure that the temperature set is suitable for the glue stick. If the temperature is too high, the adhesive becomes liquid and may escape in an uncontrolled manner. If the temperature is too low, the adhesive cannot sufficiently bind with the material.
