KNOW YOUR ADHESIVE/CAULK GUN

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

AUTO SHUT-OFF

When the caulk tube is empty, the auto shut-off feature will cause the motor to shut off.

CARRIAGE FRAME

The carriage frame will support a 30 oz. quart-size tube or a standard 10 oz. tube of caulk, depending on your applica- tion needs.

ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION

An electronic overload protection feature causes the motor to automatically shut down if too much pressure is exerted on the caulk tube.

JOIST FOLLOWER

Use the joist follower when applying adhesive to floor joists prior to installing sub-flooring, or on wall joists before install- ing sheetrock.

PLUNGER ROD

The forward movement of the plunger rod applies pressure to the bottom of an open caulk tube, causing caulk to be dispensed.

PLUNGER ROD HANDLE

The plunger rod handle is used to pull the plunger rod back, allowing caulk to be loaded.

PUNCTURE TOOL

For your convenience, a puncture tool is provided for break- ing the seal on a new tube of caulk. When using a partially filled caulk tube, the puncture tool can be used to remove any hardened material from the tube’s nozzle.

SWITCH LOCK

The switch lock prevents depression of the switch trigger.

SWITCH TRIGGER

Depressing the switch trigger starts the forward motion of the plunger rod.

VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR

The plunger speed can be adjusted with the variable speed selector. This allows you to adjust the material feed rate to suit your particular application.
