What should I do if the adhesive gun is not heating up properly?

Check if the battery is fully charged and properly connected. Ensure that the power switch is turned on. If the problem persists, inspect the heating element for any visible damage and consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.

Can the Ryobi PCL901 Adhesive Gun be used with different types of glue sticks?

Yes, the Ryobi PCL901 is compatible with standard 1/2 inch diameter glue sticks, including those made for high-temperature and multi-temperature applications. However, ensure that the glue stick manufacturer’s guidelines align with the tool's specifications.

How do I clean the nozzle of the Ryobi PCL901 Adhesive Gun?

While the nozzle is still warm, wipe away any excess glue with a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth. Ensure the tool is unplugged and cooled before performing any cleaning.
