PPE includes: Safety glasses, apron
Insert a new glue stick into the back of the gun
PPE: Safety glasses and apron
Carefully aim the tip of the gun at the place where the glue is needed before very gently squeezing the trigger.
Gently push the material towards the spinning sander keeping fingers clear.
Turn off, wait for it to stop spinning, clean it with a brush (never, never blow dust!)
First aid in the event of a burn is to run the affected area under continuously running water.
Fix the correct sized drill bit to the chuck. Use a chuck key to tighten it if requires one.
Do not push material hard as this will break the blade (which is very thin).
Ensure there is no-one near you, and then start the drill and feed it slowly and gently into the work ensuring that neither you nor it wobble (as this will break the drill bit).
Apply only gentle pressure as you push the material into the blade as it oscillates (jiggles) up and down.
Under no circumstances try to remove hot glue. It will cool down in about 2 minutes. Until it does, it will stick to flesh and will cause burns.
Ease off the feed pressure as the drill breaks through the other side. Reverse out with the drill still spinning
Allow about 8 minutes to heat-up before squeezing the trigger.
Place work on work surface where the sander is moving away from you.
Prepare material for drilling by marking location of holes with a centre punch mark about 1mm deep.
Adjust the hold-down fork to the thickness of your material.
