  Use  only  Fastbind  Hot-Melt  adhesives  for  binding. 

Caution:  using 

other  than  Fastbind  adhesives  will  invalidate  the  warranty  and  the 

manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused.

 

Add only new, clean and dry hot melt glue to reservoir.  

Collecting 

accidentally dropped glue granulates from dirty oor for instance can 

block glue applicator and requires expensive service work.

 

Do not re-use hotmelt drops from the drop collector tray.  These 

contain  impurities  that  can  block  the  applicator!

 

From  binding 

quality  perspectivem,  chemical  properties  of  the  recycled  glue  are 

inferior. 

  All of the machine covers, panels and safety labels must be in place 

when operating the machine.

  Machine  needs  to  warm  up  properly  before  it  is  ready  to  use  (20 

min). 

Moving adhesive applicator before adhesive has completely 

liqueed will damage the machine.

  Do  not  attempt  to  alter  or  modify  the  machine.  It  contains  high-

voltage  components  and  unexpected  faults  or  electric  shock  might 

occur. Modication will invalidate the warranty.

 

Turn  the  machine  off  when  you  have  nished  working  with  it

Even if the machine has unlimited continuous working time, leaving it 

on and idle degrades hot melt glue slowly. This can lead to adhesive 

‘overcooking’, which blocks the applicator. External timer available as 

an external accesory.

  Use only original Fastbind accessories and spare parts approved by the 

manufacturer to ensure that the unit can be operated safely. For service 

and maintenance, contact Fastbind authorized service outlet.

  Keep the glue reservoir cap on except when adding hot-melt adhesive. 

Foreign objects or substances in the adhesive reservoir can seriously 

damage applicator.

  Hot-melt  glue  and  parts  within  the  cover  of  the  adhesive  applicator 

are hot and can cause skin burns. Let the machine cool down properly 

before touching this area.

 

In case of burns:

•  Immediately cool affected skin areas using cold, clean water. 

•  Do not forcefully remove hot melt material from the skin.

(soft) glue will block the rollers.
