a)

Immediately after hot melt application, it is recommended to 

pull slightly from the cover to secure the binding between the 

cover and rst pages.

Release  the  clamp  by  lowering  the  handle  and  pull  it  up. 

Remove the book by lifting the turntable slightly with the 

clamp handle.

If the cover does not require trimming, the book is ready. The 

book can be blattered, but the binding has not yet reached the 

maximum strength. 

Complete curing time depends on the type of hot melt, but 

for  thick  books  bound  with  Fastbind Type  1  hot  melt,  the 

recommended  waiting  time  is  15  to  30  minutes. The  nal 

strength is reached after the rst 24 hours.

Push the handle down rmly and hold for 5 - 7 seconds to 

press the spine and fold the cover. 

Turn the table back into the starting position by pulling the 

hand lever. Given that hot melt tacks (starts to dry) in 2 - 

3 seconds, swift but gentle actions provide the best result. 

Caution: Do not slam the table against the table limit stops 

as this can damage the machine

To cut the longer tail of the cover off, place the book in the 

middle of the cutting support and slip the cover into slot.

Hold the book with your ngers and move the cutter all the 

way cross the book. If necessary, trim twice.
