Installing Caulk or Adhesive Tube

tion to suit the job. A smaller nozzle
diameter requires more force to push
the caulk and reduces battery life.

nail or piece of wire. If the inner seal
is not broken, the caulk material may
be forced out the rear end of the tube
and damage the tool.

quires more force to push the caulk

ameter use a slower speed or the
material may be forced around the rear
tube seat.
3. Release trigger to stop dispensing
caulk.
