POSSIBLE INCIDENTS
If the maximum distance of 45mm
(1 3/4")
between the bung and the moulding is
exceeded the machine will stop and the "incident" indicator will illuminate
during the joining cycle.
The bung can slide up. due to the pressure of the wedge insertion if the locking
handle (T) is not sufficiently tightened.
If a wedge is found to be partly in the moulding and partly in the distributor
head (H), lift the frame out vertically.
If a wedge does not enter the moulding it is essential to take off the distributor
head and remove the loose wedge inside it.
After regulating any of these points press the key RAZ to restart the machine.
ADJUSTMENT OF CLAMPS (see Fig.6)
If, when the clamps are operated, the left hand moulding is not gripped properly
adjust the left hand clamp by unscrewing the knurled knob R on the front of the
machine. If,
on
the
other hand the right hand moulding is loose the clamp can
be tightened by screwing in the knurled knob R.
If the joints are being glued apply the glue
before carrying out this adjustment.
Correctly adjusted the clamp marks in the
moulding should be between 0 and 0.4mm
(0 - 20/1000") deep depending on the hardness
of the wood.
SELECTION OF WEDGES APPROPRIATE TO MOULDING (see Figs. 7 & 8)
The height of the wedge should be 2mm ( /12") less than the height of the wood in
the moulding, i.e. excluding any whitening.
Examples of joining at 2 positions - 2 wedges superimposed.
