Black & Decker 204 LT - Manual (Page 2)

Extension Cords
Only round jacketed extension cords should be used and we
recommend that they be listed by Urfderwriters Laboratories (UL). An
extension cord must have adequate wire size (AVVG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of performance. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is,
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. \A/hen using more than
one extension cord, be sure each individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size appropriate for the total length of your extension.
To determine the minimum size required, refer to the chart below:

Install wire stand by spreading apart legs and inserting ends of wire
into holes in nose of guru (202 LT only)
Insert oval stick of Low Temperature adhesive into inlet tube of
gun’s rneii chamber. Squeeze trigger or push with thumb to set
adhesive sack firmly in chamber. Plug in gun and wait 3-5 minutes for
gun CO neat. WARNING: TOOL iS “ON” AS SOON AS IT IS
PLiJGfiEZ- fl07E: On initial use, a second stick of adhesive may
be required to be itiaded into gun immediately after advancing the first
stick to produce flew. CAUTION: Feeding or pushing adhesive stick
with too much force into a heated gun may cause hot adhesive to be
unexpectedly expelled from nozzle. Apply adhesive by squeezing
tnogsn ~nw more the trigger is puHecl, the more glue will flov^ out of
nozzle. When gun stops feeding glue, release trigger and squeeze
again. When one adhesive stick is depressed to the level of inlet tube
lip, iriseft another.
Tips On Using Your Low Temperature
Glue Gun (continued)
9. Do not use Low Temperature Glue in place of structural fasteners
to hold heavy loads.
10. Low Temperature Glue can be stored indefinitely, even in the gun,
and be remelted at future uses with full bonding capability.
11. Low Temperature Glue can be used to bond items on both latex
and mylar balloons. The glue should be applied to the item being
put on and not directly to the balloon. Press the item with glue
applied to it and position on the balloon. Always wear eye protec­
tion.
12. Two types of Low Temperature Glue are available:
Ail Purpose - Normal Setting Time
Slow Set - Extended Setting Time
13. Some paints and stains containing petroleum distillates can weaken
the adhesive. Test before using. You may need to paint or stain
before gluing.
14. Hardened glue may be removed by peeling, scraping or reheating
with the hot tip of gun.
Cleaning
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to dean the tool. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage
the plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint
thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products. Never let any liquid get
inside of tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Operation (continued)
In between applications use stand to keep the unit upright for good
ventilaiioR., Simply roíate stand form^ard for use. (202 LT only)
MOTE: We recommend placing a piece of scrap material under
nozzie to prevent damage to surface the unit is resting on.
When ail gluing operations are completed, simply unplug tool and
allow it to cool to room temperature. Store away in safe, dry place. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO
PULL THE UNUSED STICK FROM GUN AFTER
USE. Any unused adhesive can be reheated and used at a future date
without any loss of bonding strength. WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT
UNIT HAS COOLED DOWN BEFORE PLACING IN STORAGE.
Important
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, mainte­
nance and adjustments should be performed by Black & Decker
Service Centers or other qualified organizations. This tool contains no
customer serviceable components.

Make sure the surfaces to be bonded are clean and free from dirt
or oily films. Clean surfaces always bond best so take time to
prepare the surfaces prior to gluing.
Surfaces should be pressed together within 10 seconds of the
adhesive being applied. Thin beads will dry fastest.
Working time can be extended to 30 seconds or more by applying
the adhesive in large heavy pools (1/2" diameter).
Working time can also be extended by preheating the surfaces to
be bonded. This can be done with a hand held hair dryer. This will
also improve bond strength.
It is always best to work in a room with an ambient temperature of
68° to 72°F. Extreme cold will quicken set-up time.
6. The use of clamps or holding devices is usually not required.
Bonding large areas is not recommended since adhesive will set
before positioning can occur.
Low Temperature Glue begins to soften at temperatures exceeding
132°F. Low Temperature Glue should not be used on items
subjected to temperatures above 132°F.
