Material Inspection
& Edgebander
Preparation
Some workpieces may not be suitable for edge-
banding operations. Before edgebanding, con-
sider the following:
•
Material Type: This machine is intended for
edgebanding natural and man-made wood
products, laminate-covered wood products,
and some plastics.
•
Workplace Humidity & Temperature:
Always store workpiece materials and edge-
banding at room temperature to ensure maxi-
mum adhesion. Avoid edgebanding in highly
humid environments, as this may affect glue
adhesion.
•
Glue Storage: Store glue pot adhesives in a
cool, dry place.
•
Glue Adjustment Knob: DO NOT rotate
glue adjustment knob while heating unit is off,
or when glue pot temperature is below 250°F
(120°C). Glue adheres to glue pot internal
components when cool. Turning adjustment
dial when glue pot is cool may break internal
components.
Workpiece Radius: The minimum inner radi-
•
us of workpiece for banding operation is 1".
Edgebanding thickness may affect minimum
radius capabilities.
Test Piece: We highly recommend testing
•
edgebanding setup (edgebanding settings,
glue adjustment setting, and material type)
on a test workpiece similar to the final product
to ensure proper adhesion and finish.

Checking/Adding
Glue
Always check the glue level and, if necessary, add
glue pellets before operations. The glue pot is full
when the glue level is within
of the pot. Avoid leaving glue pot lid off when not
adding glue, as this can cause dust or other mate-
rial to contaminate glue pot.
IMPORTANT: Glue pot lid is very hot! Allow glue
pot to fully cool before adding glue.
Items Needed
Glue Pellets ....................................... As Needed
Gloves ........................................................1 Pair
To check/add glue:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Check glue depth by looking through viewing
window on top of glue pot.
— If glue is within
pot, glue pot is full. Do not add more.
— If glue is more than
of glue pot, proceed to Step 3.
3.
Unscrew and remove glue pot lid (see
Figure 11).
