7.2 Stationary use
It‘s better to use the machine with a when banding
smaller pieces, the worktable is available at IGMtools.
com as an optional accessory. That way, you can band
edges like on a stationary edgebander.
8. MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL
8.1 Maintenance after work
Clean the machine properly after every operation and
get rid of any glue on the edgebander with a proper
tool or a dissolvent to prevent glue build-up.
We recommend having the machine checked after
500 hours of work or every 6 months of use. During
regular weekly maintenance, you should lubricate the
timing chain and the pressure plate with silicone oil.
Loosen screws, see (pic.17), and remove the plastic
cover. Now you can lubricate the chain and the plate.
After maintenance, place the cover back and tighten
the screws.
To keep the glue pot clean, it has to be cleaned
out
every two months or every 50 hours of
edgebanding.
Remove the rest of the glue and refill
with a new one.

The machine has to be turned off and disconnected
from the power source during maintenance.
8.2 Preemptive control
- Regularly check the glue status in the glue pot. Refill
the glue when the glue pot is half empty. The heater
should be always submerged in the glue.
9. MALFUNCTION ASSISTANCE
9.1 BR500 error messages
The BR500 Edgebander is designed to detect
malfunctions and to picture them on its display.
Er1
- Voltage error: the voltage is not optimal for the
proper function of the machine.
Er2
- Engine error: please contact an authorized
service to check on the function of the motor.
Er3
- Heating error: should the temperature exceed
220°C, contact the authorized service centre to check
on the heating function.
Er4
- Internal error: please contact an authorized
electrical service centre.
9.2 Solution to problems
Malfunction
Cause
Repair
Cannot turn on the
machine
Damaged fuse
Replace the fuse (use a fuse with the same value
- F6A(230V))
The tape is not
completely covered
with the glue
The glue is not properly melted
Open the glue pot and check if the glue has
dissolved properly.
The amount of glue in relation
to the width of the tape is
improperly set
Increase the amount of glue with the control
knob. (see chapter 6.1.3)
Deformed tape
Use a tape of better quality.
The glue was applied poorly to
the banding roller
Turn on the feed and let the glue circle between
the applicator and the glue pot
The tape is not
completely covered
with the glue
The pressure roller isn‘t
perpendicular to the edge of the
workpiece
Adjust the angle of the support table so that it‘s
perpendicular to the edge (see chapter 6.1.2)
Overheating can degrade the
properties of the glue
Replace the old glue in the pot with the new one
The glue hasn‘t been heated to
the right temperature
Check the label on the glue and set the
temperature accordingly
The tape has twisted
while banding
The feed speed is slower than the
feed of the tape
Increase pressure on the workpiece, adjust feed
rate
