BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and
resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery
needs to be recharged.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACk
See Figure 2, page 10.
To install:
 Lock the switch trigger by sliding the switch lock up.
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
To remove:
 Lock the switch trigger by sliding the switch lock up.
 Depress the latches on the side of battery pack.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
WARNING:
Battery products are always in operating condition.
Therefore, the switch should always be locked when not
in use or carrying at your side.
STARTING/STOPPING THE CAULk GUN
See Figure 3, page 10.
Before attempting to start the caulk gun, be sure the switch
lock is in the unlocked position.
 To turn the caulk gun ON, depress the switch trigger.
 To turn the caulk gun OFF, release the switch trigger.
LOCkING THE SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page 10.
The switch trigger of the caulk gun can be locked off using
the slide switch located below the switch trigger.
 To lock the switch trigger, slide the switch lock up. This
will prevent the caulk gun switch trigger from being de-
pressed.
 To unlock the switch trigger, slide the switch down. This
will allow the caulk gun switch trigger to be depressed.
OPERATION
LOADING CAULk
See Figures 4 - 5, page 10.
 Lock the switch trigger by sliding the switch lock up.
 Using a utility knife, cut off the tip of the spout on a
standard 10 oz. tube of caulk. Cut the tip at a 45˚ angle.
Remove as little as possible, taking into consideration
the size of the "bead" of caulk you need.
 Check for a second inner seal at the base of the spout. If
found, insert the puncture tool inside the spout to break
the seal before using. If using a partially filled tube, use
the puncture tool to remove any hardened material from
the tip.
NOTE: An inner seal is usually found only in cardboard
caulk tubes.
 While holding the caulk gun steady with one hand, pull
the handle of the plunger rod away from the caulk gun.
Continue pulling until plunger base reaches the back of
the carriage frame.
 Load the caulk tube into the carriage frame, making sure
it is well seated at both ends.
ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The caulk gun has an electronic overload protection feature.
If too much pressure is exerted on the tube, the motor will
shut down. This helps to prevent damage to the tool and the
caulk tube. If the motor shuts off, make sure that:
 Nozzle tip is cut
 Inner seal in the caulk tube is broken
 Hardened material is removed from the nozzle
 Caulk tube is not damaged or frozen
 Plunger rod is free of caulk/adhesive materials
Release the trigger and wait for 3 to 5 seconds to allow the
electronics to reset. If the motor again shuts off, move the
variable speed selector to the middle position and press the
trigger again. If the motor continues to shut off, try another
tube of material or take the tool to an authorized service center.
APPLYING CAULk
See Figures 6 - 8, page 10.
 Prepare the surface to be caulked by removing any dust,
dirt, or remnants of old caulking. Make sure the area to
be caulked is clean and dry.
 Set the speed of the caulk gun to match your application
needs, using just enough caulk to do the job. Experiment
in an out-of-the-way area to find the best speed to use
to deliver the caulk bead you want.
 Hold the gun at a slight angle. If filling a crack, insert the
spout into the crack, if possible; otherwise, run the caulk
gun along the surface.
 Squeeze the trigger on the caulk gun, allowing the caulk
to extrude from the tube tip.
