General Information

Thumb pressure on the feeder pushes the adhesive stick into the heat block. The adhesive is melted by the heat block and pushed out through the tip. A fixed thermostat on the heat block maintains heat block temperature.

Start-Up and Operation

WARNING: USE ONLY 3M™ SCOTCH-WELD™ HOT MELT 2’’ x 5/8’’ LOW MELT ADHESIVE STICKS. OTHER ADHESIVES MAY CAUSE BACKMELT AND POSSIBLE INJURY. DO NOT USE NEAR HIGHLY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.

1.Plug the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Hot Melt Applicator LT into a 120 VAC grounded receptacle. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for heat-up.

2.Pull the feeder back toward the rear of the applicator.

3.Snap a 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Adhesive Stick (5/8’’ x 2’’) into the holder.

CAUTION: Do not force adhesive. Excessive force can damage the applicator and cause molten adhesive to flow out the rear.

4.Gently press the feeder forward and push the adhesive into the heat block. Melted adhesive will flow from the tip.

CAUTION: To avoid charring or plugging of the tip, extrude at least one adhesive stick every three hours that the applicator is turned on.
