WARNING: TOOL IS "ON" AS SOON
AS IT IS PLUGGED IN. Apply adhesive by
squeezing trigger. See Figure 2. The more
the trigger is pulled, the more glue will
flow out of nozzle. When gun stops
feeding glue, release trigger and squeeze
again for additional flow. When adhesive
stick is depressed to the level of the inlet
tube lip, insert another stick.
CAUTION: Feeding or pushing
adhesive sticks with too much force into
a heated gun may cause hot adhesive to
be unexpectedly expelled from nozzle.
NOTE: Some materials can be
damaged by the hot nozzle or even the
hot glue. Where this is a concern, test a
piece of scrap material or a portion of the
object being repaired that will not be
visible.
When all gluing operations are
completed, simply unplug the tool and
allow it to cool to room temperature. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL THE UNUSED
STICK FROM GUN AFTER USE. Any
unused adhesive can be reheated and
used at a future date without any loss of
bonding strength.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE
UNIT HAS COOLED DOWN BEFORE
PUTTING IN STORAGE.
Tips On Using Your Trigger
Feed Glue Gun
1. Choose the right adhesive for the
right application. There are several
different types available. Your
Thermogrip
dealer stocks a full
®
selection of general purpose hot melt
and glue sticks.
2. Make sure the surfaces are clean and
free from dirt or oily films. Clean
surfaces always bond best so take
time to prepare the surfaces prior to
gluing.
3. There is no need to spread the
adhesive. Just simply apply and
position the surfaces together,
squeezing slightly to ensure even
spreading.
4. It's always best to work in an area
where the room temperature is 68 to
72°F. Extreme cold will quicken
adhesive set-up time (the time it takes
the adhesive to harden). Heat will
extend it.

5. You can extend set-up time by slightly
prewarming the surfaces to be glued
with a hand held hair dryer. The heat
will allow additional time to position
difficult objects and also to ensure
better bonding of more difficult
substrates (surfaces to be bonded).
6. Glue drying time can also be
controlled somewhat by the method of
application. Large heavy pools of
adhesive will take up to fifty percent
