This is the content required for an introduction to our hot glue guns - reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a tutor! It will make it even quicker though ;-)
Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the tool's manual.
Safety
Dangers
- the nozzle gets very hot (approx. 200 °C)
- the glue stays hot for a while
- burns are made more serious by the fact that the glue sticks to skin and can't be shaken off
Precautions
- don't touch the nozzle area if there is any chance it could still be hot
- don't touch freshly deposited glue to see if it's hard yet...
- quickly apply slightly warm water if hot glue is stuck to your skin (cold water is okay for small burns, but could cause shock)
