FAQs
Does this caulking gun come with a battery?
No, this is a bare unit and does not include a battery or charger. They must be purchased separately.
What size caulk cartridges can this gun use?
It comes with a 300-600ml tube holder. Interchangeable cartridge holders for other sizes are available separately.
How do I control the amount of caulk dispensed?
You can control the material flow using the variable speed dial and the variable speed trigger. Squeeze the trigger more gently for less material and more firmly for a faster flow.
What is the benefit of the auto-retract and anti-drip feature?
The auto-retract feature pulls the plunger rod back slightly after you release the trigger, and the anti-drip function prevents excess caulk from squeezing out, keeping your work area clean.
How much weight does this tool have?
The tool weighs 2.2 kg without a battery.
Can this gun be used with all types of sealants?
It is designed for standard caulks like silicone and latex. For very viscous adhesives, ensure they are compatible and that the tool's 295 kg pressing pressure is sufficient.
How do I clean the caulking gun?
Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the plunger rod area is free of debris. Do not immerse the tool in water.
Troubleshooting
Tool not dispensing material
Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted. Check that the caulk cartridge is fully loaded and the nozzle tip has been cut. Verify the plunger rod is correctly engaged with the cartridge.
Material flow is inconsistent
Adjust the variable speed dial and trigger for finer control. Ensure the caulk cartridge is not empty or partially blocked. Clean any dried material from the nozzle.
Anti-drip feature is not working
Ensure the plunger rod is clean and free from obstructions. Check that the auto-retract function is engaging correctly after each trigger release.
LED light is not illuminating
Check the battery connection. If the issue persists, the LED may require servicing.
