Setting the Volume Flow Rate
The volume flow rate of the switched on caulking gun can be
variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch
(9) is pressed.
You can use the volume flow rate limiter (7) to preset the
maximum feed rate of the rack (4). High values mean a high
rack rate, while small values mean a low rack rate.
The maximum volume flow rate can also be readjusted dur-
ing operation.
The amount of material squeezed out also depends on the
size of the dispensing nozzle opening.
Switching On and Off
To start operation of the caulking gun, press the On/Off
switch (9).
To switch off the caulking gun, let go of the On/Off switch
(9). Once you let go of the On/Off switch, the rack is moved
back a short way to remove the pressure from the sealing
compound. This ensures that no more sealing compound is
squeezed out after you let go of the On/Off switch.
The locking mechanism (10) can be used to lock the On/Off
switch (9) to prevent it from being switched on unintention-
ally.
Temperature-dependent Overload Protection
If the permissible temperature is exceeded, the caulking gun
switches off. Let the caulking gun cool down and then switch
the caulking gun back on.
Working Advice
Comply with the manufacturer's instructions regard-
u
ing the material to be applied. Certain materials can
only be used within a certain temperature range or can
only be applied to specific surfaces.
Open and use the cartridges in accordance with the
u
manufacturer's specifications.
Only trim the dispensing nozzle if the material is se-
u
curely within the cartridge holder.
Attach the power tool to the hanging hook (5) when
u
working on a ladder, for example. To do this, open the
hanging hook (5) as far as necessary in order to be able to
hang the caulking gun securely.
Adjust the volume flow rate to ensure a smooth and consist-
ent application of material in one application.
Ensure that the surface onto which the material is to be ap-
plied is clean, dry and free from grease.

Maintenance and Cleaning
