Inserting the sachet (foil bag)
- Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power tool.
- When screwing the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges into the caulking gun, ensure that the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges is actually being turned into the thread. Use your other hand to keep a firm hold of the rear barrel cap when screwing in the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges.
The caulking gun is provided for use with sachets (foil bags) as standard. In this case, no conversion is necessary for initial use.
When using the caulking gun for the first time, or if a sachet (foil bag) has been used previously, ensure that the plastic plunger (4) and metal plunger (5) are installed. Proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the front barrel cap (1) from the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges (2).
- Unlock the rack (7) using the rack release (12) and pull the rack backwards.
- Cut open the front side of the sachet (foil bag) and push the sachet (foil bag) into the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges.
- Position a suitable dispensing nozzle in front of the sachet (foil bag) and seal the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges (2) with the front barrel cap (1).
- Carefully slide the unlocked rack forwards until the plastic plunger (4) comes into contact with the sachet (foil bag).
- If necessary, cut the dispensing nozzle to size, so that it ideally meets your requirements.
