Remedy
Connect the machine to power outlet.
Check the fuse and change if necessary.
Add hot melt adhesive.
Check the cable and driving wheel connected to roller.
Switch the machine on and the power indicator lights up
green. Let the machine warm up properly (20 min).
Inspect the adhesive reservoir visually and remove any
foreign objects.
If the machine is turned on but not used for a very long time,
adhesive will degrade and turn into a plastic like substance
blocking the roller. Contact your dealer.
Jog the paper block carefully and align it with the paper guide.
For the best results, press firmly for 5-7 seconds.
Clean the levelling plate and back support regularly. Lock the
clamp completely.
Use H-nipping tool for hard covers and S for soft covers.
A properly aligned nipping tool is parallel with the back support
support to ensure even compression when the hand lever is pressed
down. Use nipping tool's adjustment screws to eliminate any
clearance between nipping cams and nipping tool.
With the four step adhesive application method, the whole
cycle takes 4 - 6 seconds. Average time for a single back and
forth application is between 3 and 4 seconds.
Start nipping in 1 – 2 seconds after adhesive application.
The sooner the better. Proper compressing time is between
5 – 7 seconds.
Use Fastbind hot melt type 1adhesive. Normal operating
temperature for the adhesive applicator is 170 - 180 °C.
Highest binding strength results when the cover and papers
are bound along the fiber direction.
