Installing Caulk or Adhesive Tube
Always check tubes for punctures or damage
before installing. Do not use a damaged or frozen
tube.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Cut nozzle of tube at an angle and size per
manufacturer's recommendation to suit the
job (unless nozzle is pre-cut). A smaller nozzle
diameter requires more force to push the caulk
and reduces battery life.
3. Break inner seal of tube using a long nail or piece
of wire. If the inner seal is not broken, the caulk
material may be forced out the rear end of the
tube and damage the tool.
NOTE: Before using a partially fi lled tube, re-
move any hardened material with a long nail or
piece of wire.
4. Pull the rod handle back to allow the tube to fi t
inside the carriage.
5. Insert tube into the carriage.
6. Push the rod handle forward until the piston is
against the tube.
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing ac-
cessories. Only use accessories specifi cally
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
keep hands away from all moving parts.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
Anti-Drip and Rod Release
The caulk gun features an automatic anti-drip to
prevent drips after the trigger is released. When
the trigger is released, the motor will run for a
short time to release the cluch, but the rod will
not move (unless pressure in the tube pushes the
piston back).
End of travel
When a tube is emptied, the motor will run for a
short time to release the cluch, then shut off. Re-
lease the trigger and change the tube.
Overload
When an overload occurs, the tool will reach the
maximum drive force and continue to hold this
maximum force until the user releases the trigger.
If material is not dispensing, make sure that:
• Nozzle tip is cut
• Inner seal in the caulk tube is broken
• Hardened material is removed from the nozzle
• Caulk tube is not damaged or frozen
• Rod is free of caulk/adhesive materials
Installing Sausage Type Pack
Always check sausage packs for punctures or
damage before installing. Do not use a damaged
or frozen pack.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Pull the rod handle back to allow the pack to fi t
inside the barrel
3. Insert pack into barrel.
4. Cut off end of sausage pack per manufacturer's
recommendation.
NOTE: Before using a partially fi lled pack, re-
move any hardened material.
5. Insert nozzle supplied with the sausage pack
into the nozzle cap and screw onto the barrel
6. Cut nozzle at an angle and size per manufac-
turer's recommendation to suit the job (unless
nozzle is pre-cut). A smaller nozzle diameter re-
quires more force to push the caulk and reduces
battery life.
7. Push the rod handle forward until the piston is
against the pack.
OPERATION
Starting and Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. Pull trigger to dispense material.
2. Increase or decrease pressure on the trigger to
dispense the material. Adjust the speed dial to
select the maximum speed for proper bead width
and material fl ow rate ("1" for slowest, "6" for
fastest). The trigger pressure, selected speed,
material type, temperature and nozzle diameter
will all affect the fl ow rate. When using a tube or
pack with a smaller nozzle diameter use a slower
speed or the material may be forced around the
rear tube seat.
NOTE: Operating the gun at high speeds may
damage the dispensing tube or pack for some
materials. For best results, gradually increase
speed settings.
3. Release trigger to stop dispensing material. The
rod is free to be moved manually when the trigger
is released.
NOTE: The piston will stop automatically when it
has reached the end of the tube.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to
two positions: forward and lock.
For forward, push in the control
switch from the right side of the
tool. The tool will run normally.
To lock the trigger, push in the
control switch from the left side
of the tool. The trigger will not
work while the control switch is
in the locked position. Always
lock the trigger or remove the
battery pack before perform-
ing maintenance, changing ac-
cessories, storing the tool and
any time the tool is not in use.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
always unplug the charger and remove
the battery pack from the charger or tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact Albion for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good re-
pair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to Albion for repairs.
WARNING
sonal injury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool
vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since
certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to
plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these
include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia
and household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use flammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
Only clean the carriage and barrel with solvents
recommended by the material manufacturer. Do
not allow the solvents to come in contact with the
main drive unit. The rod(s) may also be cleaned with
solvents as long as it is removed before insertion
into the drive.
For bulk models, many solvents will 'leach' the oil
out of the leather piston packings, causing them to
stiffen and shrink. Soaking the pistons in light oil
will signifi cantly extend their life. While leather is
the most universally desirable material for piston
packings, Albion offers a broad selection of packing
materials and expanders to improve performance
in specifi c applications.
