Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for operating and maintaining hot melt glue guns. Only trained personnel may use the glue gun, which must be connected to a circuit protected by a safety switch. Pre-start checks include inspecting the gun casing, plug, and lead for damage, verifying the presence of a current electrical test tag, and ensuring adhesive compatibility with the glue gun and materials. Dual temperature settings should be adjusted correctly for the task.

Operational precautions include avoiding contact with the nozzle and hot glue, as it can cause burns. Users should apply only the required amount of adhesive, allowing it to cool before handling bonded areas. Maintenance requires unplugging the glue gun before cleaning and wearing gloves to avoid burns when handling hot components. Adhering to these guidelines ensures safe and efficient use of hot melt glue guns.
