Start Up
During warm up, the coating roller gets heated up by the adhesive. It is very
important that the level of the adhesive be above the “full” block (top block, located in the
left side of the tray). If the adhesive is too low, the warm up will take longer and the roller
will have trouble turning.
Connect the machine to an approved outlet and switch the machine on by using the red
‘Power’ button mounted on the rear of the machine.
Warm up time is normally 55 minutes. When the machine has reached the correct operating
temperature the ‘ready’ light on the front of the machine will illuminate. The motor can now
be switched on allowing the coating roller to turn. When switching on the motor, always
allow the roller to turn for 20 seconds to help it reach the correct operating temperature.
Adhesive Type
Formulated for book covers and any application where a tight fold back and extra strong
adhesion is required. This adhesive never dries out so can be used at any time after coating and
sticks to almost any surface. Not suitable for products that require guillotining after gluing.
The MXII adhesive runs better at a lower temperature and a usual setting for this is with the
knob at the 12:00 o’clock position.
Formulated for any requirement where flat surfaces are to be glued together. Provides a stiffer
bond on flexible products and allows some re-positioning, especially if left open for a short
time. Will cure out over time and greatly reduces sticking to your guillotine blade.
This adhesive generally runs better at a higher temperature with the knob set around the 1:00
o’clock position.
Applying adhesive
The Maxit adhesive is very strong, so for most lightweight stocks or photographic papers
you only need a very thin coating. For textured or thicker stocks, such as canvas, you would
need a heavier coating.
