6.1.7 Refilling the adhesive
- Regularly check the amount of glue in the glue pot.
We recommend to refill 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.
6.1.6 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.12)

6.2 Advice for proper operation
- 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.
- Use the lowest feed speed when turning on the
machine for the first time. Adjust the speed according
to your experience and complexity of the workpiece.
6.3 Standby mode
MODE I – operating mode (default setting after switching
on)
MODE II – Standby mode
- The machine can be switched into a standby mode II
when you need it ready immediately. The temperature
will decrease by 50°C. So the glue isn‘t overburning
while maintaining the glue in a preheated state.
When switched back to MODE I, the glue in the pot is
warmed up far quicker to the desired temperature.
- After turning on, the edgebander automatically runs
in MODE I, to switch modes hold for 3 seconds. When
in MODE II, the current temperature is alternating with
the temperature set-up on the display every 3 seconds.

Feed speed control: the button turns
the feed on and off. Turning the ring
changes feed speed from 2-6 m/min
(clockwise rotation increases speed).
