Your Edgebander is ready to start the first tests. At this
point it is important to use pieces of wood just for testing,
until you are acquainted with all functions of the
machine.
FIRST TESTS
Just skip this point if you read the entire manual and has
the safety to operate the equipment. If necessary,
contact the manufacturer. With all adjustments made,
the set and the correct working temperature machine,
you can start the first working tests. To do this, use
pieces of wood that will not be used (flaps) to ensure full
confidence operator / machine.
- To start, hold the wood panel pushing against the
aluminum guides and directing it against the feeder axis.
See figure below:
CAUTION
. Crushing and cutting risk. Do not
bring your hands within 10cm
(4’’) manual cutter.
Do not wear loose clothing or gloves when operating this
equipment.
In case the wood is too long, support on the sides of the
machine to prevent warping it of.
NOTE:
You will notice that the CBC.E can cut the tape
close to the wood panel, allowing a better finish edges.
GLUE THICKNESS
According to the first tests you will find an ideal amount
of glue that must pass the panel. In case you notice that
the tape is easily released from the wood, the cause
may be lack of glue. Or if not, there may be glue excess,
with glue excess on the sides of the tape. To adjust the
glue thickness, do the following:
- On the glue axis, locate and loosen the
A
screw on the
glue axis, as the following figure:
- If you want to decrease the glue thickness, slightly
rotate the
B
knob counter-clockwise. If you want to
increase the thickness of glue, turn the knob
B
clockwise. Note that small changes (approximately 1/4
turn) have already cause a considerable change in
thickness of the glue. Find the optimum amount, which
can vary according to the type and brand tape, glue and
the temperature being worked. It is normal after the end
of the process small quantities of glue are left around the
tape. If this happens, remove this glue excess with a
cloth with paint thinner, kerosene or even with a stylus,
being careful not to scratch the wood or the tape.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
All maintenance or cleaning on
the machine must be made with the same
OFF
and
unplugged
from the outlet to prevent accidental
discharges.
GENERAL
Periodic maintenance on your Edgebander CBC.E
MAKSIWA will ensure optimum performance. Make it a
habit to inspect your edgebander every time you use it.
