6.1.6 Proper fastening before edgebanding
Fasten the workpiece to a worktop using clamps.
Make sure the edge of the workpiece you will
edgeband extends beyond the edge of your worktop.
It may be more comfortable to use a vacuum suction
cup. You can order one from IGM as an optional
accessory. Use of the vacuum cup (pic.8)
6.1.7 Refilling the adhesive
- Regularly check the amount of glue in the glue pot.
We recommend refilling the glue when there is only
half of the pot left.
- Loosen the screw on the cover so that it can be
lifted.
DO NOT TOUCH THE COVER - it‘s hot.

6.2 Before turning on
- Keep the machine clean throughout the whole
operation.
- Store the workpiece and the tape at room temperature.
- Cold tape or workpiece can affect the quality of
adhesion.
- Always maintain enough pressure on the tape when
working. Insufficient pressure may result in a weak
connection between the tape and the workpiece.
- Store your glue in a cool and dry place.
- A pot full of glue is enough for approximately
(depending on the type of glue) 50 m of tape (width 25
mm) or 25 m of tape (width 65 mm).
- Make sure the glue has completely melted before
working.
- Use glue supplied by IGM which has an operating
temperature of 120-150 °C.
