a)
Immediately after hot melt application, it is recommended to
pull slightly from the cover to secure the binding between the
cover and
fi rst pages.
Release the clamp by lowering the handle and pull it up.
Remove the book by lifting the turntable slightly with the
clamp handle.
If the cover does not require trimming, the book is ready. The
book can be blattered, but the binding has not yet reached the
maximum strength.
Complete curing time depends on the type of hot melt, but
for thick books bound with Fastbind Type 1 hot melt, the
recommended waiting time is 15 to 30 minutes. The
fi nal
strength is reached after the fi rst 24 hours.
Push the handle down fi rmly and hold for 5 - 7 seconds to
press the spine and fold the cover.
Turn the table back into the starting position by pulling the
hand lever. Given that hot melt tacks (starts to dry) in 2 -
3 seconds, swift but gentle actions provide the best result.
Caution: Do not slam the table against the table limit stops
as this can damage the machine
