Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this glue gun include glue sticks?
The product information states the gun is designed for 11mm sticks, but it is recommended to check the specific retail packaging contents as stick quantities can vary.
Can I use this on delicate fabrics?
Yes, it works well on fabric, but always test a small, hidden area first to ensure the glue temperature does not damage the specific material type.
How long does it stay hot when cordless?
While battery life is not specified, it is designed for short, mobile bursts of use; you should return it to the base periodically to maintain optimal bonding temperature.
Is the charging base necessary for operation?
The base is for charging/heating, but you can also plug the power cable directly into the glue gun for continuous operation.
What should I do if the glue stick gets stuck?
Do not force it. Allow the gun to heat up fully and try to feed a new stick in behind it, or wait for the glue to cool and carefully inspect the chamber.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not coming out when the trigger is pulled
Ensure the gun has reached full operating temperature. Check that the glue stick is properly seated in the intake mechanism.
Glue leaks from the nozzle when not in use
This is normal due to residual pressure. Always place the gun on its wire stand or base with a protective mat underneath to catch minor drips.
Power indicator light fails to illuminate
Check the power cable connection to the base and verify that the wall socket is providing power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Tooltime AR30, ensure the charging base is connected to a standard 230-240V UK power outlet. Insert a single 11mm glue stick into the rear chamber until it meets resistance. Press the power switch and monitor the indicator light; once the 3-5 minute period has passed, gently squeeze the trigger to prime the nozzle.
For care, always allow the unit to cool completely on the provided wire stand or base before storage. Never pull a partially used glue stick out of the rear of the gun, as this can damage the internal feeding mechanism; instead, let it finish feeding through the nozzle. Periodically inspect the nozzle for dried glue build-up and wipe gently with a soft cloth while the unit is slightly warm, taking care to avoid burns.
