Troubleshooting
Glue gun not heating up.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly attached. Check that the glue stick is properly inserted and making contact with the heating element.
No glue dispensing.
Confirm the gun is heated to working temperature. Squeeze the trigger firmly. Check if the glue stick is at the end or if there's a blockage in the nozzle. Try advancing the glue stick manually if possible.
Battery not charging.
Verify the charger is plugged in and the power adapter is securely connected. Ensure the battery is properly seated on the charger. Clean the charger and battery contacts with a dry cloth.
Glue oozes when not in use.
This can sometimes occur with hot melt glue. Ensure the gun is stored upright on its stand when not in use. The automatic shut-off feature will help prevent prolonged oozing.
Weak adhesive bond.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use the recommended type of glue sticks. Allow sufficient cooling time for the glue to set before applying stress.
