IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
L
Read operating instructions thoroughly before using adhesive applicator. WARNING: Eye and Skin Irritant. Potential Skin and Respiratory Sensitizer.
Caution: Contact with heated product may cause thermal burns. Always wear gloves. Contains isocyanates. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged or
repeated contact with vapors. Do not swallow. May be harmful if swallowed. First Aid: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call physician immediately. If eye contact occurs, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and call physician. In case of skin contact, wash skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention if sensitization or rash occurs. If inhaled, move to fresh air and contact physician. For additional safety information, refer to Material Safety Data Sheet or call 1-800-347-4583. KEEP OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
When using a hot air gun to remove adhesive, remain in a well-ventilated area. Do not over-heat flammable materials or substrates susceptible to thermal damage.
The HiPURformer™ adhesive applicator is designed for use with HiPURformer™ polyurethane reactive hot melt adhesives only. Operation and performance are NOT guaranteed with any other hot melt products.

ABOUT HiPURformer™ POLYURETHANE REACTIVE HOT MELT ADHESIVES
The HiPURformer™ Adhesive Applicator has been specially designed for use with HiPURformer™ polyurethane reactive hot melt adhesive cartridges. HiPURformer™
adhesives are extremely versatile and offer many advantages over traditional hot melts.
• High-strength, permanent bonds
• Fast set times: range from 30 seconds–5 minutes*
• Bonds a wide variety of materials: wood, ceramic, metal, leather, textiles, marble, PVC, plastic and many other substrates
• Interior/Exterior use: resists temperatures from -20°F to +275°F
• Waterproof and weatherproof
• UV indicator for easy clean-up
• Solvent free and nonflammable
• Greatly reduces the need for mechanical fasteners
• Adhesive is removable by heating to 280°F. with a hot air gun. Bond will soften at
approximately 280°F., but adhesive will not flow or become liquid. DO NOT USE HEAT GUNS WITH FLAMMABLE OBJECTS OR SUBSTRATES.
• Features and performance vary depending on the HiPURformer™ adhesive formula selected. Please refer to the instructions accompanying the specific adhesive cartridge purchased.
*Set times may vary with application temperature, ambient temperature, thermal
conductivity and temperature of the substrates.
LIMITATIONS:
• Not for continuous submersion or use below the waterline.
• Not for use on copper or metal alloys containing a high percentage of copper.

GETTING STARTED
1 2 3
1. First plug the power cord into the base station and then into the power source.
Green LED will light up.
2. Depress trigger and turn heating cylinder counterclockwise to separate the two applicator components. Remove adhesive cartridge from foil pouch and insert into heating cylinder.
3. Reassemble the applicator by retracting the feed rod and twisting the cylinder until it locks into place.
4 5 6
4. Insert tool into contact slots on base station to heat adhesive. Status indicator remains
RED during heat-up (approx. 10-13 minutes). When the status indicator turns GREEN, the adhesive has reached bonding temperature and is ready to use.
5. Always wear gloves. Remove tool from base station.
6. Unscrew cap (store in handle). Depress trigger to extrude adhesive. Feed rod will
advance and press against cartridge plunger.
7. Apply the adhesive sparingly in either a spot or continuous bead. Do not spread.
8. Join the surfaces to be bonded together, ensure proper alignment of pieces and hold
firmly in place until the adhesive sets (working times vary).
9. Substrates may be machined or planed after 1 hour, however, do not subject the bond to stress for 24-48 hours.
10.After work is completed unplug the power cord from the power source before disconnecting the power cord from the base station. To provide continued protection against electric shock always disconnect the power cord from the power supply when not in use. To avoid damage store the HiPURformer and cord in a safe place. For a replacement cord please refer to the spare parts list on Page 7.
MOUNTING BASE STATION
If desired, the base station may be mounted on a firm surface. Use 2.9mm (1/9") diameter screws to secure, using the holes provided on the bottom of the unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ADHESIVE CARTRIDGES
• Always seal cartridge tightly during heating and after use.
• Removing Cartridge Cap: Always wear gloves. Make sure the cartridge is hot before attempting to remove the cap. If the cap becomes stuck, it may be loosened by using the similarly shaped receptacle in the base station (see diagram).
• Allow heating cylinder to cool for approximately five minutes before inserting a new cartridge.
• If cartridge and heating cylinder accidentally become stuck together, simply heat-up unit to release. Once separated, wipe adhesive residue off unit to prevent future problems.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Use only HiPURformer™ polyurethane reactive hot melt adhesives and Steinel replacement parts.
• Make sure the surfaces to be bonded are perfectly clean. Prefinished surfaces should be sanded or "roughed up" before applying adhesive.
• Make sure the adhesive is fresh. Shelf life is one year from the date of manufacture.
• The objects to be adhered should be at room temperature. If necessary, warm them (with a hot air gun, for instance). Cold surfaces will cause the adhesive to set more quickly and will shorten the working time.
• Heavy objects should be fixed in position (using tape, a vise etc.) until fully cured.
• Optimum bond strength is achieved by joining the two contact surfaces immediately after applying adhesive.
• Hardened, excess adhesive can easily be removed with a scraper or putty knife soon after it sets (the adhesive will change from clear to opaque).
• The adhesive bond may be softened and the glued surfaces separated by heating them to 280°F with a hot air gun. DO NOT USE HEAT GUNS WITH FLAMMABLE OBJECTS OR SUBSTRATES.
• During prolonged work breaks (over 60 minutes), replace the cartridge cap securely while the adhesive is hot and unplug the unit.
• When finished using the HiPURformer™ Advanced Bonding System, extrude about one inch of adhesive from the cartridge nozzle, then immediately replace the cartridge cap tightly while the adhesive is hot.
• Tightly sealing the cartridge after use will prolong the life of the adhesive. For best results, use product within four weeks after opening.
• The load-bearing capacity of the bond depends largely on the strength of the substrate (e.g. do not glue heavy objects onto weak materials such as paint, wallpaper or drywall).
