4 Only use the charger indoors
5 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
6 Fail-safe isolating transformer (the power source is
electrically separated from the transformer output)
7 Automatic shut-off when charger gets too hot (thermic
fuse blows and charger becomes useless)
8 Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could cause
a hazard (only charge the battery with the charger
supplied)
9 Do not dispose of electric tools and batteries together
with household waste material
0 NiMH technology provides more energy in a less
environment-polluting way
use
• Charging battery !
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery

IMPORTANT:

- after 3 hours the charging operation will be completed,
and the battery may be used, even though the red
light may still be on (the red light may require more
than 3 hours to turn off)
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a few
minutes of operation; this may result in a reduction of
operating time and battery efficiency
- the nickel-metalhydride battery must be kept separate
from the natural environment and should not be
disposed of as normal domestic waste (symbol 9 will
remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• Loading cartridges @
- open a standard cartridge with a utility knife
- mount the nozzle on top of the opened cartridge
- cut off at least 2 cm of the nozzle tip at a 45° angle, so
that the opening is large enough when using the
highest speed setting
- push switch A to the left
- push plunger B back to its starting position until it
snap-locks (no snap-locking results later on in
malfunctioning of the plunger)
- open cartridge cover C
- insert cartridge until its base reaches the back of
carriage frame D
- close cartridge cover C
• On/off #
- push switch A to the right to unlock trigger switch E
- switch on/off tool by pressing/releasing trigger switch
E
- the tool switches off automatically when the cartridge
is empty
! ensure that switch a is in the locking position
after each use $
• Variable speed %
- with wheel F the sealant flow output can be adjusted
(6 positions)
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed by testing
out on spare material
! if the tool does not run with wheel F in position 1,
adjust the speed while pressing trigger switch e
2 until the optimal setting is found
• Applying sealant ^
- ensure that the area to be sealed is clean and dry
(remove old sealant, if applicable)
- after pushing switch A to the right, press trigger switch
E to start the sealant flow output
- hold the tool at a slight angle and carefully move the
tool at an even pace along the gap/crack to be filled
while pressing trigger switch E
- ensure that the sealant comes in full contact with both
surfaces to be sealed
- release trigger switch E for ending the sealant flow
output
- to avoid spilling of sealant, push switch A to the left
immediately after releasing trigger switch E
- draw a moistened finger along the sealant flow after
applying and use a clean, damp cloth to remove any
excess sealant
! remove any residuary sealant from the cartridge
nozzle and carriage frame
• Electronic overload protection
Stops the motor automatically in case too much pressure
is applied on the cartridge thus preventing the tool and
cartridge from damage
- release trigger switch E
- allow the electronics to re-set for 5 seconds
- press trigger switch E
- if motor stops again, move wheel F to the middle
position, and press trigger switch E again
To avoid overload, always ensure that
- the nozzle tip is cut off at least 2 cm
- hardened material is removed from the nozzle
- the cartridge is not damaged or frozen
- the carriage frame is free of sealant
- the lowest possible speed setting is selected
• Troubleshooting
In case halfway the sealing job plunger B 2 stops
moving forward
- switch off the tool
- remove cartridge from carriage frame D 2
- push switch A 2 to the left
! push plunger B back to its starting position until
it snap-locks
- insert cartridge again
- push switch A to the right
- press trigger switch E 2 to continue the sealing job
