Introducing
BOND’S PORTABLE BOBBINLESS CARPET BINDER
PBB-4x4 and PBB-2x2
This instruction manual has been prepared and written to guide you in the usage of your PORTABLE
BOBBINLESS BINDER. In order to obtain maximum efficiency from this machine, we urge you to
read this entire manual thoroughly before using the machine for the first time.
Although this machine has been carefully assembled, inspected and tested, should it ever need factory
service, we recommend it be shipped in its original carton. If the original carton is no longer available,
you may use a sturdy carton with ample room to allow packing material (i.e. foam, carpeting, etc.) to
surround the entire machine, (especially the bottom) to prevent it from shifting inside while in transit.

2. THE POINTS BEFORE OPERATION
•Oil the area through which thread passes, the tension disc, the thread guide, looper, etc.
(Note: An anticorrosive agent is applied to the machines at the factory, in order to prevent rusting. It
is necessary to use oil to remove this agent or it may prevent the thread from passing smoothly.)
•Confirm that the machine has been threaded as per the instructions 3. in the manual.
•Confirm that the machine has been lubricated as per the instructions 4. in the manual.

3. NEEDLE & LOOPER THREADING
- 2 -

NEEDLE THREADING
To simplify the threading of the needle, just tie off
both thread ends with a knot, continue pulling the
thread through all the guides. Cut off the knot and
continue threading through the needle eye. Leave a
six inch plus tail beyond the needle eye, or...
1. Remove the dome from the old thread canister by
twisting it counter-clockwise (Fig. 1A)
2. Turn the black knob on the top of the canister
counter-clockwise.
3. Replace the empty canister with the new canister
by aligning the threaded rod through the center
holes of the canister.
4. Screw the black knob clockwise to the threaded
rod. Tighten knob snuggly.
5. Install the clear dome over the canister making
sure that the thread is clear and won’t get pinched
as you twist the clear dome clockwise onto the
canister base. (Fig. 1B)
6. Pull the thread from the top of the dome and
follow the thread eyelets threading sequence: 1
through 6. (Fig. 1C)
- 3 -

LOOPER THREADING
To simplify the threading of the looper, just tie off
both thread ends with a knot, and then continue
pulling the thread through the thread rod eye and
the tensioner. Continue pulling the thread end
through all eyelets and through both looper eyes.
Leave a six inch tail past the looper, or...
1. Remove the black knob from the empty spool by
twisting it counter-clockwise.
2. Replace the empty spool with the new spool.
(Fig. 1B)
3. Screw the black knob clockwise to the threaded
rod, tighten knob snuggly.
4. Put thread end through the eye of the thread rod
above the spool. (Fig. 1A)
5. Continue threading through the thread tensioner,
then through the eyelet below it.
6. Remove the tape guide bracket by loosening the
two allen screws with the 5/32 allen wrench two
full turns only. (Fig. 1D)
7. Lift up on the folder bracket and set it aside. Put
the thread through the front casting eyelet and
through the take up eyelet, then through the
looper eyes.
8. Leave a 6 inch tail past the looper.
9. Replace the tape folder bracket and tighten
screws snuggly.
You are now ready to bind.

4. OILING
Oiling of all moving parts is imperative before each operation of this machine. The oiling points are
marked in red, spray lube the looper area after blowing off debris from the looper chamber. Use Bond spray
lube, stock# 21325.
5. OPERATION
1. Hold the machine at the handle with your right hand.
2. Support the carpet with your left hand.
3. To start binding the carpet, align one corner of the carpet into the tape folder guide mouth, pull the
trigger switch and slowly feed the carpet through the folder mouth. Let the machine move towards you
without helping it pull through the carpet.
4. When you get to the other end of the carpet, continue binding on the tape until the carpet has passed the
rear feed rollers/pullers. Cut off the tape ½” past the corner.
5. Continue binding the next side of the carpet.
6. Let the machine pull itself. If you pull the machine faster than its speed, the binder will mis-stitch or
break the needle.
7. This machine has variable speed trigger switch. For more speed, squeeze the switch more; for slower
speed, squeeze less. Turn and adjust speed control knob located at the trigger switch until the desired
speed is found.

6. ADJUSTMENT
The machine has been properly adjusted before shipment from
the factory. But if it needs re-adjustment for repair or
replacement parts, proceed as follows; When adjusting, make
sure that the electric wiring plug is removed from the consent.
6-1 Needle and Looper
Check the distance between needle center and looper edge.
Turn the pulley by hand until the looper reaches its right
furthest position, while keeping the clearance of 5mm between
needle center and looper edge.
1) Confirm whether or not the distance between centers
of ball joint (A) is being kept 87mm. Also pay
special attention to the strict distance of 87mm, and if
not, it will prevent you to adjust every part correctly.
2) Turn the pulley again by hand until looper reaches its
left furthest position, while keeping the clearance of
5mm between needle center and looper edge to loose
nuts (a) and (b) of joint rod (B). Fig. 2
In case the distance between centers is more than
5mm, turn joint rod (B) to “S” direction to decrease
it.
In case the distance between centers is less than
5mm, turn joint rod (B) to “L” direction to increase
it. Fig. 2
Make sure that the nuts (b) has left-handed thread.
6-2 Needle Height
When the looper moves left and right to turn pulley by hand,
the looper and the needle shall be adjusted in such a way that
the bottom of both holes will be entirely corresponded as
shown in Fig. 3.
1) Check to make sure the needle is set in the needle bar
as deep as it will go by loosening the needle bar
clamping nut.
2) Make sure of setting a needle with its concave part
facing correctly toward the looper when the needle is
just going up from the lowest position.
3) Should it be necessary to change needle height, first
remove the upper face plate.
To raise the needle bar....
Loosen the screw (a), lower the needle bar
connection to obtain proper distance required and
tighten it. Then, loosen the screw (b), raise the
needle bar until the needle bar connection touches the
needle bar connecting stud and tighten it.
To lower the needle bar....
Loosen the screw (b), lower the needle bar to obtain
proper distance required and tighten it. Then, loosen
the screw (a), fix the needle bar connection at the
place where it touches the needle bar connecting stud
and tighten it.
4) Check once again if the direction of concave part of
needle is correct or not.
- 6 -

6-3 Gap between Looper and Needle
Turn pulley by hand and fix eccentric cam so that
the screw (a) may be horizontal position as shown
in Fig. 5, while the looper is passing behind needle
and the sharp point of looper is corresponded with
needle center.
Afterwards, adjust the gap to be 0.05-0.1mm
between looper and needle to confirm they do not
clash with each other when the sharp point of looper
is passing behind needle.
The adjustment of the gap shall be done by
loosening screw (b) of looper oscillating arm.
6-4 Feed Dog Height (Fig. 7)
Adjust the height of feed dog to loosen screw (a) in
order to obtain the most appropriate protrusion of
1.0- 1.2mm above the upper surface of throat plate
after regulating the screw (b).
- 7 -

6-5 Needle Guard Adjustment
Adjust the clearance between needle guard and
needle to zero when the needle is just coming up
from its lowest position as shown in Fig. 8 and
tighten the screw (a).
PBB 4 x 4 only
When binding oval or round shaped carpets, please
disengage the rear upper puller.
[NOTES ON CARRYING AND STORAGE]
1. Carry the machine in a storage box.
2. After using of the machine, unplug,
clean the dirt, oil all parts and then put it into a
storage box. We suggest you to use a soft brush
to clean the machine.
