PRODUCT SAFETY
CAUTION - HOT SURFACES
!
◊ HazardOus vapOrs
Use in a well ventilated area and wear proper
respirator. Glue pellets release vapors when melted.
◊ sTrangulaTiOn Hazard and risk
Of pincHing
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, and tie long hair.
Avoid risk of fingers getting caught by the feed rollers
while feeding the tape.
◊ nEvEr lEavE THE MacHinE
unaTTEndEd
Due to risks of burns, strangulation and pinching,
never leave the machine unattended.
◊ ElEcTric sHOcks
Check machine cable regularly, to detect damages
from hot parts or sharp edges that could damage the
cable and cause electric shocks.
◊ usE adEquaTE ExTEnsiOn cablE
When using extension cable, make sure to use correct
gauge, type and length. Run extension cable so it
does not create interferences while using the
edgebander.
Touching hot parts can cause severe
burns. Always hold the machine by the
handles. Pay attention to liquid glue which
is very hot (200°C). Wear adequate
protective gloves and safety glasses.
◊ INHERENTLY UNSTABLE OPERATION
Using a portable edgebander requires great care and
attention.
• Due to hot surfaces and risks of burns, always hold
the machine securely by the insulated handles;
• Do not use for overhead work, as hot glue might drip
on operator;
• Use in a clear and clean area so you do not tip over
the cable or debris;
• If workpiece is held by vacuum clamps, the suction
force and the suction period of time might be affected
by the quality, smoothness and flatness of the
workpiece, the dust on it and the size and weight of
the workpiece.
Always pay attention and use precaution to the
potential of losing suction while edgebanding,
which may cause a dangerous situation.
For large workpiece, multiple vacuum clamps are
required for stable operation and to reduce risk of
losing suction.
Optional electric vacuum kit is available to provide
a more reliable holding. Other methods for holding the
piece may be used, if no need to access all sides of
the workpiece at once.
• Take time to use a practice workpiece of same
material you want to edgeband and with the same
tape. It should be of decent size so you can get the
feeling of the operation (proper speed, pressure)
before working on good pieces.
