ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING: YOUR EDGE BANDER COMES WITH A HEAT GUN WHICH MUST BE

CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT.

120V OPERATION

As received from the factory, the heat gun

supplied with this Edge Bander is ready to run

for 120V operation. This Edge Bander is

intended for use on a circuit that has an

grounded outlet and a grounded plug which

looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.

GROUNDING

This Edge Bander must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current, to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This Edge Ban-

der is equipped with a cord having an equip-

ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet that is proper-

ly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER

GROUNDING OF YOUR EDGE BANDER, DO

NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE HEAT GUN

PLUG GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MAN-

NER.

Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded,

have it checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS EDGE BANDER CAN CAUSE

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID

SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE

IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart in Fig.2 to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only

extension cords which accept the tool’s plug.

For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be

increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the heat gun motor. Refer

to Fig.2 for wire length and size.

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting Upper & Lower Guides

1) The upper guides (A) Fig.7 and lower guides

(B) can be adjusted by loosening the cap

screws (C) using the 5mm hex. key.

2) The lower guides (A) should be set slightly

below the work table, once adjusted, no further

adjustments should be necessary.

3) Adjust the upper guides (B) to suit the width of

your edge banding material.

NOTE: The edge banding material must move

freely through the lower and upper guides.

Adjusting infeed and outfeed guide fences

The infeed guide fence (A) Fig.8 and the outfeed

guide fence (B), guide and support the edge of

your workpiece. Normally, the guide fences are

recessed about 1/32” to 3/64” from the edge of

the roller (C). This setting was set at the factory

but you may want to double-check it before

operating.

1) Both guide fences should be positioned in

relation to the roller to allow for the thickness of

the edge banding material being used.

2) If the outfeed guide fence needs to be

adjusted, loosen the two cap screws (A) Fig.9

and reposition the outfeed guide fence as

needed.

3) To adjust the position of the infeed guide fence

(A) Fig.8, the Steinel

heat gun must be

removed before making the adjustment.

Remove the two pan head screws (A) Fig.10

and remove heat gun. This will allow you to

gain access to the infeed guide fence cap

screws from the top of the Edge Bander.

Loosen cap screws and reposition the infeed

guide fence as needed.

OPERATION

Steinel® Heat Gun Controls

1) The Steinel

heat gun (A) Fig.11 comes with

an on/off switch (B) at the end of the handle.

Push switch downwards to turn heat gun On,

push switch upwards to turn heat gun Off.

2) The Steinel

heat gun also comes with a

variable temperature control dial (C) which sets

the heat gun temperature range (49

C to

593

C). Turn dial clockwise to increase heat

and counterclockwise to reduce heat.

IMPORTANT: The heat gun temperature setting is directly linked to the speed which you

need to feed your workpiece. It is recommended to start the operation at a lower

temperature and make adjustments as you gain experience.

SELECTION OF BANDING MATERIAL (not included)

The edge banding material required must have a hot melt adhesive backing. Selecting the

width of the edge banding material you need depends on the thickness of your workpiece.

The Edge Bander will accept banding material up to 2” wide. To avoid wasting banding

material, it is recommended that the banding material be approximately 1/16” wider than

the thickness of your workpiece. This creates only about 1/32” of excess to remove from

either side of the workpiece. Use the supplied double edge trimmer or a sharp knife to trim

banding material.

OPERATION GUIDELINE

1) Position the roll of edge banding material (not supplied) on the support table. Position

the banding material so it is oriented with the adhesive backing facing the heat gun.

2) Make sure the lower guides have been set slightly below the work table. This will place

the bottom edge of the banding material slightly below the edge of the workpiece.

3) Slide the leading end of the banding material

(A) Fig.12 through the guides (B), and adjust

the upper guides to the width of the banding

material. Banding material must move freely

between the guides.

4) Position the leading end of the banding

material in front of the nozzle and roller.

5) Set the desired heat setting using the

temperature control dial on the heat gun.

FIGURE 11

FIGURE 12

OPERATION GUIDELINE continued...

6) Plug the heat gun power cord into a 120V power source and push the On/Off switch

upwards to turn heat gun on.

Note: Allow approximately 30-40 seconds for the hot air gun to reach operating

temperature. Adjust temperature if necessary.

7) As the banding material adhesive softens at the front end, hand feed the banding

material up to the edge of the roller. A general indicator that the adhesive is hot enough

is when it begins to bubble slightly.

8) Place workpiece on the table and against the infeed fence.

9) Push the edge of the workpiece along the infeed fence and against the edge banding

material. The edge banding material will be trapped between the roller and the

workpiece. The edge banding material will bond to the workpiece.

10) Guide the workpiece along the roller at a steady, moderate speed. The edge banding

material will continue to bond to the edge of the workpiece and will be pulled through

the guides by the movement of the workpiece.

11) Make sure the adhesive is bonding to the workpiece. If you feed the workpiece too

fast, or the hot air gun temperature is set too low, the bond will be poor. Adjust as

needed to obtain a good bond.

12) As you move the workpiece forward, always maintain pressure on the roller while you

are edge banding.

13) When the trailing end of the workpiece gets

to approximately 5” from the center of the

roller (A) Fig.13 as shown, firmly push down

on the palm strike knob (B) to cut the edge

banding material.

14) Continue to push the workpiece forward until

the entire edge of the workpiece has been

banded. The end of the banding material will

extend slightly beyond the trailing end of the

workpiece.

15) Trim excess banding material using the

double edge trimmer (1/2” to 1” thick

capacity) provided or a knife. Position double edge trimmer over the banded edge of

the workpiece and squeeze firmly to clamp it against the workpiece edge. Continue to

squeeze it firmly, and slide the double edge trimmer down the edge of the workpiece

in the direction of the arrows. Use steady, even pressure for best results.

16) Turn off the heat gun and allow it to cool completely before storing the Edge Bander.

When the Edge Bander is not being used, unplug it from the power source.

FIGURE 13

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

1) Accummulation of adhesive- Prolonged use of the Edge Bander may cause

accumulation of adhesive on the guides, which can prevent free movement of the edge

banding material. To remove this adhesive, plug in the heat gun and turn it on, with the

heat gun set at medium temperature. The heat gun will soften the adhesive, and will

make it easier to peel the adhesive from the guides with a putty knife. Be careful not to

scratch the guides; they must remain smooth for best results.

2) Roller- If the roller needs cleaning, wipe it with soap and water. Do not use solvents on

the roller.

Servicing: When servicing, only use identical replacement parts.
