Assembly
Screw a nozzle 1 onto the glue gun. Insert the
support stand 5 into the openings on both sides
of the glue gun.
Operation

Starting Operation

Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of
the power source must correspond with the
data on the type plate of the machine. Glue
guns marked with 230 V can also be operat-
ed with 220 V.
Switching On and Off (see figure A)
To start the operation of the glue gun, insert the
mains plug into the socket outlet.
Allow the glue gun to heat up for approx.
7 minutes before beginning to work. For this,
position the glue gun on the support stand 5 as
shown in the figure.
To switch off the glue gun, pull the mains plug
out of the socket outlet.
After use, place down the glue gun in a safe
manner and allow it to cool down complete-
ly before packing it away. The hot nozzle can
cause damage.

Working Advice

For longer work breaks, pull the mains plug.
Do not allow the hot glue or the nozzle tip
to come into contact with persons or ani-
mals. Glue and nozzle tip reach a tempera-
ture of approx. 200 °C; danger of burning. If
hot glue comes into contact with the skin,
hold the affected area immediately under a
stream of cold water for several minutes. Do
not try to remove the glue from the skin.
As the result of heat storage, the glue gun can al-
so be used after it has heated up for a certain
time after switching off. When the glue that
emerges starts to become thick, plug the mains
plug into the socket outlet again.
Bosch Power Tools
Preparations for Gluing
The surfaces to be glued must be clean, dry and
free of grease. Roughen smooth surfaces before
gluing.
Do not use inflammable solvents for clean-
ing the surfaces to be glued. Solvent remain-
ders can ignite from the hot glue, or hazard-
ous vapours can develop.
The ambient temperature and the workpieces to
be glued may not be colder than +5 °C and
warmer than +50 °C.
Warm rapidly cooling materials (e.g., steel) for
better adhesion using a hot air gun or similar.
Gluing (see figure B)
Allow the glue gun to heat up. Insert the appro-
priate glue stick 3 for the material being glued
via the opening at the rear. Press the feed trig-
ger 4 applying moderate pressure.
Apply the glue in the form of points. For gluing
flexible materials (e.g., textiles), apply the glue
in a zig-zag line.
After applying the glue, immediately press the
surfaces to be glued together for approx. 30 s.
The glued spot can be subjected to load after a
cool-down period of approx. 5 minutes.
Rest the gun on the support stand 5 between in-
dividual gluing runs.
Remove glue residue after cooling with a sharp
knife. If required, glued spots can be separated
again by applying heat.
Glued spots can be painted.
Changing the Nozzle
The nozzle 1 can only be changed when in warm
condition. For this, heat up the glue gun for ap-
prox. 2 minutes.
When changing the nozzle, wear protective
gloves. Grasp the hot nozzle only by the
heat protection cover 2. Danger of burning
when touching the hot nozzle tip.
Hand-tighten the new nozzle 1.
