comes into contact with skin, immediately hold the af-
fected area under a stream of cold water for several
minutes. Do not try to remove the hot adhesive from the
skin.
Only use adhesives that have been recommended by the
manufacturer of the glue gun and that are suitable for the
processing temperature.
Adhesive bonds can become unstuck when they are affected
by moisture or heat.
Preparing for gluing
The bonding locations must be clean, dry and free from
grease.
The materials to be glued together and the work surface
must not be easily ignited or flammable.
Test whether heat-sensitive materials are suitable before-
hand on a sample workpiece.
The workpieces to be glued must not be colder than +5 °C
and not warmer than +50 °C.
Materials that cool the adhesive down quickly should be
warmed first with a heat gun.
Gluing
– Push the glue stick (3) suited to the material into the glue
stick compartment (4).
– Switch on the glue gun and, if required, press the relevant
temperature selection button (7) or (9) to select the suit-
able processing temperature for the glue stick.
– Allow the glue gun to heat up. The temperature selection
button flashes green.
Once the temperature selection button is continuously lit
green, the glue gun is ready to use.
– Apply moderate pressure to the feed trigger (10) and ap-
ply the adhesive to a single side.
– Press the materials you wish to glue together against each
other for around 30 seconds immediately after applying
the adhesive.
It is still possible to correct the bonding location at this
point.
The bond is stable after approx. 5 minutes of cooling time.
If you change the processing temperature during operation,
the relevant temperature selection button (7) or (9) will
flash green until the target temperature required is reached.
The cooling process from 200 °C to 130 °C may take several
minutes.
Make sure you do not come into contact with the hot
u
adhesive. Use a silicone mat to press permeable materi-
als together.
Errors – causes and corrective measures
Problem Cause
Glue stick is not being con- Glue stick has been used up
veyed.
Glue stick diameter is too large or too small Only use recommended original glue sticks
Glue stick is too short

Changing the nozzle
Only use original Bosch nozzles (1 600 A02 EU3).
– The nozzle (1) can only be removed when it is hot. To do
so, briefly heat up the glue gun.
Wear protective gloves when changing the nozzle.
u
Only hold the heated nozzle by the heat shield (2).
Touching the hot nozzle tip poses a risk of burns.
– Fasten the new nozzle (1) until it is hand-tight.
Application tips
Processing temperature
Two different processing temperatures (130 °C and 200 °C)
can be set on the glue gun.
If you change the processing temperature during operation,
the relevant temperature selection button (7) or (9) will
flash green until the target temperature required is reached.
The cooling process from 200 °C to 130 °C may take several
minutes.
Processing temperature Material
130 °C Heat-sensitive materials (e.g.
Temperature selection Styropor
button (9) PE, PP, PTFE and plasticised
PVC
200 °C Paper, cardboard, cork,
Temperature selection wood, leather, textiles, foam
button (7) materials, plastic (except PE,
PP, PTFE and plasticised
PVC), ceramic, porcelain,
metal, glass and stone
Only use adhesives that have been recommended by the
manufacturer of the glue gun and that are suitable for the
processing temperature.
General work and cleaning tips
Material/workpiece Recommendation
Long workpieces with large Apply adhesive in dots
surface areas
Flexible materials Apply adhesive in lines
(e.g. textiles)
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the bonding
u
locations. The hot glue could ignite any solvent residue or
release hazardous fumes.
Adhesive residue on clothing cannot be removed.
The bonding locations can be painted.
Corrective measures
Insert a new glue stick
Only use recommended original glue sticks
Insert another glue stick
