IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS:

WHEN USING THIS HOT MELT GLUE GUN, ALWAYS FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS; THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY DUE

TO BURNS OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Wear long sleeves, long pants, heat-resistant gloves and safety glasses.

Temperature of glue gun and glue can reach over 400° F and can cause

serious burns.

Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from flammable material. It is normal for this

tool to become quite warm during use. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Do not leave glue gun unattended while it is on, or in a hot condition.

Do not immerse glue gun in water.

Do not use in wet or damp locations. For indoor use only.

Do not use near flammable materials, vapors, solvents, etc.

If accidental skin contact with glue gun nozzle or glue occurs, do not attempt to remove

glue from skin - immediately put burned area into cold water. Call physician if necessary.

Glue gun is for Indoor Use only; do not use outdoors or in wet or damp locations. Never

immerse glue gun in water or other liquid. Use on a clean, dry work surface. Excessive

dust and dirt will reduce the lifetime of this tool.

Do not modify the plug in any way. When unplugging from outlet, do not pull out of the

socket by the cord; grasp the plug and pull out of the outlet. Do not carry tool by the

cord. When glue gun is being serviced or when changing accessories, disconnect

charger/cord from electrical power source.

Use only recommended accessories and adhesives with this glue gun. Using materials

other than those recommended may result in accidental injury, and permanent damage to

the glue gun.

This glue gun should be turned off after each use. After use, allow glue gun to cool

completely prior to storage. When not in use, the glue gun should be stored in a dry,

secure location out of the reach of children. The adhesive can be stored indefinitely in the

unheated gun, and remelted by heating up the tool.

Hot Melt Adhesives are not a replacement for structural fasteners. Hot Melt Adhesives

should not be used for projects that will be exposed to extreme heat; glue can soften at

140° F. Do not attempt to remove unused portion of a glue stick from the back of the

tool. Do not expose the glue gun to extreme changes in temperature during or directly

after use - allow glue gun to air cool only.

BATTERY/CHARGER:

Before using battery charger, read all instructions on your battery charger, battery pack,

and glue gun instructions. Use P128 Ryobi 18V One+ Lithium-Ion battery and charger

with Hybrid-120 glue gun or Ryobi Battery/Charger Products recommended in manual.

These products are available at Home Depot Stores (www.homedepot.com).

Do not disassemble charger or operate charger if it has been damaged in any way.

Do not expose battery or recharge battery in damp, wet, rain or snow conditions. If

battery is damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery may short or fire may result.

Charge only Ryobi approved rechargeable batteries. Charge battery pack in temperatures

above 40°F and below 105°F. Store tool and battery pack where temperatures will not

exceed 120°F. This will prevent damage to the battery.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting tips and solutions to improve performance and productivity of your tool.

Nozzle Leaking

Some leakage from the nozzle is normal. This will amount to a few drops (5-10) after the gun is

first plugged in or after a large amount of adhesive is dispensed. Abnormal leaks maybe caused

by using glue sticks not formulated for this glue gun; Surebonder® glue sticks are highly

recommended. Leaks may also be caused by a worn nozzle. Replace periodically for best

results. See “Replacing Nozzle” below.

Low or No Glue Flow

Check that you are using the proper glue for glue gun. Incorrect glue stick sizes and

formulations may not work properly in this gun. Check function of the gripping mechanism to

the glue gun to insure it is moving the glue stick forward. Make sure that the glue gun nozzle is

not clogged - if glue gun is left on for several hours without being used, a build-up of adhesive

can collect in the orifice of the nozzle. It may restrict flow of glue from the gun, as well as

cause pressure buildup which induces back-melt.

Jammed Glue Sticks

Glue sticks can jam in the applicator. This may occur when very soft or rubbery glue sticks are

used, or a high temperature glue stick is used in a low temperature glue gun, or when the glue

gun is used intermittently or has been idle for a long period of time. There may also be an

appearance of jamming if the nozzle is worn or dirty and glue cannot flow freely through the

nozzle. To resolve, make sure you are using the correct 7/16" (.43”) standard glue stick for your

glue gun and your application. Check nozzle to insure it is free of charred glue, and replace if

necessary.

Replacing Nozzle

WEAR HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES, LONG SLEEVE

SHIRT AND PANTS WHILE REPLACING NOZZLE. Do not use excessive

force when removing the old nozzle assembly or installing the new one.

Replace nozzle if glue drips excessively or if using different application nozzles. Interchangeable

nozzles sold seperately.

Change nozzle when glue gun is warm (not hot or cold, only warm). Turn gun on until the glue

is softened enough to remove the nozzle (about 1-2 minutes). Use gloves and (if necessary) a

wrench to twist off old nozzle gently. Melt any remaining glue through the gun to clean the

melting chamber. Replace with a new nozzle. Tighten until only snug. Do not over tighten. We

suggest replacing nozzle regularly to ensure a good flow of glue.
