Troubleshooting

Glue gun not heating up

Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power switch (if applicable) is turned on. Allow adequate time for the gun to reach temperature.

Glue is not dispensing

Check that a glue stick is properly inserted. Ensure the gun has reached its operating temperature. Gently squeeze the trigger. If the stick is old or deformed, try a new one.

Leaking glue when not in use

Ensure the support stand is properly utilized to catch drips. Some minor dripping can occur as the gun cools; place a protective surface underneath if necessary.

Poor adhesion

Verify the correct temperature setting for your materials. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. Use appropriate glue sticks for the task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert a 11.2mm x 100mm glue stick into the back of the gun.
  2. Place the glue gun on its retractable support stand.
  3. Plug the 1.5m cable into a suitable 230V/240V AC power outlet.
