ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
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.

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
0
C to
593
0
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.

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.
