Extension Cords

Only round jacketed extension cords should be used and we
recommend that they be listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories (U.L.).
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of performance. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When
using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire
size.

To determine the minimum size required, refer to the chart below:
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires,

damaged insulation and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs
or replace the cord if necessary. Black & Decker has extension cords
available that are U.L. listed.

SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES FOR FUTURE USE

Operation

NOTE: Protect what is under the workpiece with a heat resistant

material to avoid heat damage to a table. etc.

Insert stick of hot melt adhesive into inlet tube of melt chamber

through back of gun. (For best results,
use 4” or longer sticks).

Squeeze trigger to set adhesive stick
firmly in chamber.

Set glue gun into cradle as shown in

figure 1.
Note: The channel around the bottom

of the base serves as a cord wrap for
the cord. If needed, fully unwrap cord.
Plug cord into a 120 Volt AC outlet and
wait for “Ready for Use Indicator” to
turn from GRAY to RED. See figure 2.

WARNING: If gun is seated in
cradle it will turn “ON” as soon as
the cord is plugged in.

Apply glue by squeezing trigger. The
further the trigger is pulled, the more
glue will flow out of nozzle. When gun
stops feeding glue, release trigger and
squeeze again for additional flow.
When glue stick is depressed to the
level of the inlet tube lip, insert another
stick.

When glue gun cord is removed from
the cradle, it will begin to cool off. When
the ready for use indicator changes to
gray, or when the glue is no longer
flowing easily, replace the gun in the
cradle.

For heavier duty use the glue gun can
be used as a plugged in unit away
from it’s base.

To use as a plugged in unit:

1.) Make sure unit is cool.

2.) Unwind cord from cord wrap.

3.) Push down on the two tabs in front
of the receptacle as shown in figure 3.
Rotate the receptacle toward the

inside of the base and lift the
receptacle and cord out of the holder.

4.) Rotate stand forward as shown in

figure 4.

NOTE: Make sure unit is “OFF” and
cool before adjusting kickstand. We
recommend placing a piece of scrap
material under nozzle to prevent
damage to surface unit is resting on.

5.) Insert receptacle into the handle of
the glue gun (cord facing back of unit).
Plug cord into a 120 Volt AC outlet and
wait for “Ready for Use Indicator” to
turn from GRAY to RED or when glue starts flowing.

CAUTION: Feeding or pushing glue sticks with too much force
into a heated gun may cause hot adhesive to be unexpectedly
expelled from nozzle.

NOTE: Some materials can be damaged by the hot nozzle or even
the hot glue. Where this is a concern, test a piece of scrap material
or a portion of the object being repaired that will not be visible.

When all gluing operations are completed, place the gun back in the
cradle and unplug the cord to allow the gun to cool to room
temperature. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL THE UNUSED STICK
FROM GUN AFTER USE. Any unused adhesive can be reheated
and used at a future date without any loss of bonding strength.

CAUTION: Do not confine the glue gun in an area where the heat
cannot dissipate.

CAUTION: Make sure the gun is cooled down before putting in

storage.

Changing Nozzles

There are three different nozzles:

• Standard

• Wide

• Extended Angle

CAUTION: Make sure the nozzle is cool and the gun is unplugged

before changing nozzles.
To change a nozzle, a wrench is included and stores in the base.

Note that a nozzle tip can be aligned independent of the nozzle base
and then tightened with the wrench.

Tips On Using Your Cord Free Glue Gun

1. Choose the right glue stick for the right application. High or
multi-temperature round glue sticks only.

2. Make sure the surfaces are clean and free from dirt or oily films.
Clean surfaces always bond best so take time to prepare the
surfaces prior to gluing.

3. There is no need to spread the hot glue. Just simply apply and
position the surfaces together squeezing slightly to ensure even
spreading.

4. It’s always best to work in a room with an ambient temperature
of 68 to 72 degrees F(20 °C et 22 °C). Extreme cold will quicken
adhesive set-up time (the time it takes the adhesive to harden).
Heat will extend it.

5. You can extend set-up time by slightly prewarming the surfaces
to be glued with a hand held hair dryer. The heat will allow
additional time to position difficult objects and also to ensure
better bonding of more difficult substrates (surfaces to be
bonded).

6. Glue drying time can also be controlled somewhat by the
method of application. Large heavy pools of adhesive will take
up to fifty percent longer to dry than normal size drops. Very thin
beads will dry in as few as 10 seconds. Some experimentation
with your glue gun on scrap material will help to determine the
best method to use for your particular project.

7. Use hot melt glue to hold projects together while you install more
permanent fasteners like nails, screws, bolts, etc. This makes
the whole project stronger and eliminates the need for clamps.

8. Some paints and stains containing petroleum distillates can
weaken the adhesive. Test before using. You may need to paint
or stain before gluing.

632900-00 GLUE GUN 6/15/05 8:19 AM Page 4

9. Excess adhesive may be removed by scraping, peeling, or
remelting with hot tip of gun. Adhesive may be removed from
fabric by dry cleaning.

Cleaning

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage
the plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint
thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Important

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustments should be performed by Black & Decker Service
Centers or other qualified personnel. This tool contains no customer
serviceable components.
