Cordless Operation
Cordless use is possible in conjunction with the charging sta-
tion 3 (accessory). When the glue that emerges starts to be-
come thick, heat up the hot glue gun again in the charging sta-
tion.

Working Advice

 For longer work breaks, pull the mains plug.
 Do not allow the hot glue or the nozzle tip to come into
contact with persons or animals. Glue and nozzle tip
reach a temperature of approx. 200 °C; danger of burning.
If hot glue comes into contact with the skin, hold the affect-
ed area immediately under a stream of cold water for sev-
eral minutes. Do not try to remove the glue from the skin.
As the result of heat storage, the glue gun can also be used af-
ter it has heated up for a certain time after switching off. When
the glue that emerges starts to become thick, plug the mains
plug into the socket outlet again.
Preparations for Gluing
The surfaces to be glued must be clean, dry and free of
grease. Roughen smooth surfaces before gluing.
 Do not use inflammable solvents for cleaning the sur-
faces to be glued. Solvent remainders can ignite from the
hot glue, or hazardous vapours can develop.
The ambient temperature and the workpieces to be glued may
not be colder than +5 °C and warmer than +50 °C.
Warm rapidly cooling materials (e.g., steel) for better adhe-
sion using a hot air gun or similar.
Gluing
– Allow the glue gun to heat up. Feed the suitable glue stick
for the material into the glue gun from behind. Press the
feed trigger 2 using moderate pressure.
– Apply the glue in the form of points. For gluing flexible ma-
terials (e.g., textiles), apply the glue in a zig-zag line.
– After applying the glue, immediately press the surfaces to
be glued together for approx. 30 s. The glued spot can be
subjected to load after a cool-down period of approx.
5 minutes.
– Rest the gun on the support stand between individual glu-
ing runs.
Remove glue residue after cooling with a blunt object. If re-
quired, glued spots can be separated again by applying heat.
Protruding glue residues can be removed using a sharp knife
when they have gone cold.
Glued spots can be painted.
Changing the Nozzle
– The nozzle 1 can only be changed when in warm condition.
For this, heat up the glue gun for approx. 4 minutes.
 When changing the nozzle, wear protective gloves.
Grasp the hot nozzle only by the heat protection cover.
Danger of burning when touching the hot nozzle tip.
– Hand-tighten the new nozzle 1.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the glue gun itself, pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the glue gun
clean.
An inserted glue stick cannot be removed out of the rear open-
ing of the glue gun.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
