cool, and gently remove the
obstructing glue.
• Replace the nozzle if glue drips
excessively. Do not attempt to
change the nozzle when glue
is cold. To change the nozzle,
the gun must be heated until
the glue is softened enough
to remove the nozzle (about 1
minute). Use gloves and remove
the old nozzle. Flush glue
through the gun, to clean out the
melting chamber. Replace with
a new nozzle. Tighten only until
snug. Do not over tighten.
• Keep outside of glue gun clean.
• Do not use glues other than
those recommended by Rapid
• Leaving the tool switched on for
too long without use can lead to
risks. Unnecessary overheating
over a long period of inactivity,
without use, depending on the
length of time and type of glue
used, can have adverse effects:
* Melting and softening of the
glue stick at the back of the
tool, or even adhesion of the
stick in the back entrance
sleeve at the entrance of the
heater. In this case, restarting
your tool for subsequent
operation may take longer and
be more difficult.
In the event of such a problem,
Rapid recommends that you
follow these steps:
- Plug in the tool and leave
it heating for around fifteen
minutes.
- Start to push the glue by
pressing lightly on the trigger
from time to time. Continue

to let the tool warm up and
repeat this action until it
unblocks. The unblocking
time may be longer or shorter
depending on: The type and
composition of the glue that
would have been used and
the duration for which the
tool has been left heating up
unnecessarily, without being
used for gluing.
If start-up is still difficult after
this action:
- Remove the nozzle, beware
with the device being hot.
- Place the tool on its stand.
Leave it plugged in and
heated.
- Purge the tool by letting
the hot glue flow out under
gravity, onto a disposable
support (container, paper,
cardboard,..).
- Start to push the glue by
pressing lightly on the trigger
from time to time. Continue
to let the tool warm up and
repeat this action until it
unblocks. Pull the trigger
a few times, to make sure
that the old glue has been
completely cleared and the
tool has been completely
purged.
* Charring of the glue,
depending on the nature and
composition of the glue used,
occurs when the glue remains
molten, trapped inside the tool,
for too long. Once charred,
the glue will begin to obstruct
the nozzle and thus lead to a
glue leakage of glue towards
