Patchy coverage
If not set correctly, the Maxit can produce adhesive coverage that is patchy and not 100%. If this
happens, please check the following and make the necessary adjustments;
1.
Ensure that the machine is used on a level surface and check this by placing a spirit level
on the wiper blade. If need be, place shims under the feet at the bottom of the Maxit to
level it out. Even if it is at the full level, add some more adhesive so it is about 1/8"
above the full level.
Adjust the operating temperature:
- If the knob is at the 12 o’clock position; turn it to 11 o’clock and if at the
1 o’clock position turn to 12 o’clock. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the machine
to achieve the correct new temperature.
- If the knob is at the 11 o’clock position; turn it to 12 o’clock and if at the
12 o’clock position turn to 1 o’clock. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the machine
to achieve the correct new temperature.
3.
Also it is important to keep the entire coating roller hot. Consequently, when you first
start using it in the morning or if you have not used it for a while during the day, turn
on the motor for 30 seconds before you use it to get the roller hotter.
4.
If you are using it to coat multiple prints, then leave the motor running and you will find
any stringiness should be reduced or eliminated. Also make sure you keep the adhesive
level up to keep the roller hot. The adhesive should not come off on your fingers and
will not at the correct temperature.
