Operating the electric glue gun

1. Attach the wire stand to the tool by snapping the open ends into the holes near the nose. Always use this stand to ensure good ventilation and prevent the tool from lying on its side.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet.
3. Insert a glue stick into the rear opening.
4. Allow the tool to heat for 3-5 minutes.
5. Squeeze the trigger to apply glue.
6. Unplug the tool when finished or if not in use for more than two hours.
7. Do not remove the glue stick from the tool, as this may cause damage.
8. Allow the tool to cool for at least 15 minutes before storing.
