WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury, observe the
following safety rules:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children or persons needing supervision should be supervised
to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Operate and service the applicator only as described in this
manual.
• Connect the applicator only to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not unplug the applicator by pulling on the cord. Grasp the
plug, not the cord, to unplug.
• Do not handle the plug or applicator with wet hands.
• Do not use the applicator outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not use the applicator if the cord or plug is damaged.
• Do not use the applicator if it is not working properly or has
been damaged, submerged in water or left outdoors.
WARNING
• Use only authorized replacement parts. Use of other
replacement parts may cause hazardous conditions or damage
the applicator. Repairs should only be performed by a qualified
repair person.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified repair person or returned to 3M. Please contact your
local 3M sales representative for assistance.
• DO NOT USE NEAR HIGHLY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
• If an extension cord is used, use an extension cord that
complies with local electrical requirements and is properly
rated for your application. Use of an improper extension cord
may cause electrical shock.
• Do not clean or remove the 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive with
solvent. May cause fire. For additional health and safety
information see the product label and Safety Data Sheet for
3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive used.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the applicator or use
with an adaptor or ungrounded outlet. Improper grounding
connection of the applicator may cause electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service person to determine
whether the plug is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit
the outlet, have a qualified electrician or service person install
the proper outlet.
WARNING
This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use; do not
leave the tool unattended when switched ON.
• Place the tool on its stand after use and allow it to cool down
before storage.
• This tool is intended for use at altitudes NOT exceeding 2187
yd. / 2000m.
CAUTION
• Avoid contact with hot adhesive and applicator tip. May cause
burns. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) per
workplace and industry standard operating practices and
procedures when using and cleaning or changing tip. KEEP TIP
POINTED AWAY FROM BODY PARTS.
• Do not damage the white sleeve.
• Do not pull adhesive sticks from the rear of the applicator
while in operation. Removing adhesive from the rear may
cause molten adhesive flow out of the rear of the applicator
which may cause burns and damage the applicator.
• USE ONLY 3M™ LOW MELT LT ADHESIVE STICKS. OTHER
ADHESIVES MAY CAUSE BACKMELT AND POSSIBLE
INJURY. Use of other adhesives may damage the applicator or
result in hazardous conditions.
NOTICE
• To avoid charring or plugging of the tip, extrude at least one
adhesive stick every three hours that the applicator is turned
on.
• Do not overtighten. Overtightening damages threads.
WARNING
Prior to making any repairs on the applicator, make certain that
the applicator is at room temperature and that electrical service
lines have been disconnected. Failure to disconnect the electrical
power source could result in electrical shock or damage to the
applicator. Applicator must be completely assembled before
connecting applicator to electrical outlet. Allow applicator to cool
to room temperature before servicing. Failure to do so may cause
burns. Read owner's manual before servicing.
NOTICE
• Do not use high-temperature adhesives with low-temperature
applicators.
