7. OPERATING THE MACHINE
7.1 Edgebanding
Check for debris or dust in the glue pot, turn on
the main switch and trigger the heating next to the
display. On/off switch
The button (1) on the handle (2) will light up when
the temperature reaches 120°C, press the button
(1) to accelerate the melting process. Make sure
the glue is properly stirred up before working. Turn
the feed off and place the tape on the infeed roller.
Place the support table on the workpiece and hold
the machine firmly with both hands (2), (3). Place
the pressure roller approximately 5 cm from the
workpiece. Turn the feed on (1), and wait for the tape
to reach the pressure roller. Press the tape to the
workpiece using the pressure roller. Then allow the
machine to run at its feed speed and only check the
proper feed of the tape.
7.2 Stationary use
It‘s better to use the machine with a worktable when
banding smaller pieces, the worktable is available at
IGMtools.com as an optional accessory. That way, you
can band edges like on a stationary edgebander.
8. MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL
8.1 Maintenance after work
Clean the machine properly
after every operation
and get rid of any glue on the edgebander with a
proper tool or a dissolvent to prevent glue build-up.
We recommend having the machine checked after
500 hours of work or
every 6 months of use.
During
regular weekly maintenance, you should lubricate
the timing chain and the pressure plate (pic.13) with
silicone oil. Loosen screws, see (pic.12), and remove
the plastic cover. Now you can lubricate the chain
and the plate. After maintenance, place the cover
back and tighten the screws.
every two months or every 50 hours of operation

should be always submerged in the glue.
