Caulking operation
Pull the trigger to feed the caulking material. Put one
hand under the holder to support the tool while operat-
ing it.
NOTE: You can rotate the holder in accordance with
required situations to facilitate the operation.
NOTE: At the beginning of operation, set the speed
adjusting dial to "1" and pull the switch trigger slowly
to check how much amount of caulking material is
fed.
NOTE: Depending on the type and conditions of
caulking material, it may not be fed at low speed. In
this case, set the speed adjusting dial higher.
NOTE: If the caulking material is not fed, check the
following points:
• The tip of cartridge nozzle is not cut adequately.
• The caulking material is solid and clogged in the
nozzle.
• The cartridge or package is damaged.
• The caulking material is stiff. Warm the material
until it becomes soft.
• The attached piston is not appropriate for the
type of caulking material.
After the operation, wipe off the caulking material from
the tool. Be sure to remove the caulking material before
it becomes solid.
NOTE: When the rod reaches front end, the motor
starts idling. Replace the caulking material when it
happens.
NOTE: If you cannot pull out the rod, turn the speed
adjusting dial to 1, and pull the switch trigger for a
moment, and try to pull the rod out after the motor
stopped. If the rod is still clogged, perform the same
action until the rod is able to move.
