Operation
Make sure preheater is plugged in. Turn the power switch to the on position and the
switch will light.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES WHEN
OPERATING THE PREHEATER.
Operate dispenser in a dry, uncluttered work space.

DO NOT OPEN THREADED END OF CARTRIDGES PRIOR TO PREHEATING.

5.1
Using the cartridge piercer, make a small hole in the back (non-threaded end)
of the cartridge. This will relieve pressure as the urethane expands. A plunger
that is inside will prevent the urethane adhesive from leaking out the back of the cartridge.
5.2
Place one or two cartridges in the preheater. Allow approximately 15 minutes prior to use.
It is recommended that the cartridges be preheated just prior to use, so as not to heat the
product for unnecessarily long periods of time.
