1- Introduction
The CoLibrì e-DaVinci book covering machine is an automatic system used to cover any type of
book or publication and may also be used to file, save and protect documents, photographs, plans
and objects. Covering books or publications of any shape and size becomes a very quick and easy
task using the CoLibrì system's special transparent covers that are available in various sizes. In
fact, no more than 20 seconds are needed to apply a resistant and perfectly adherent protective
cover. In addition, the transparent cover is not sticky, it does not alter the book cover and may be
removed and replaced at any time.
The CoLibrì e-DaVinci book covering machine has been designed for exclusive use
with original CoLibrì material. The use of non-original CoLibrì material causes
malfunctioning and possible serious damages to the machine and voids the warranty on
the machine itself
The book covering machine has been designed with the objective of creating a ready-to-use compact
unit, suitable to trim and weld covers in an automatic, safe, simple, clean and perfectly squared manner.
All these characteristics have been perfectly integrated in the CoLibrì e-DaVinci, a hi-tech system
which is accurate down to the last detail and which is also light, handy, fast and cost effective. The
system is particularly suitable for stationery shops, bookshops, schools and libraries. In addition,
because it is fast and easy to use, the CoLibrì e-DaVinci book covering machine is also the ideal
solution for professional offices, where architects, editors, photographers, etc. can use it to file projects,
documents, sketches and drawings or to put objects, photographs and printouts into envelopes.
1.1 Identification of Components
1. Welding head
The welding head contains the
main elements needed for
trimming/welding the cover (e.g.
welding bar, control board,
motors, etc.). The external casing
allows a rapid dissipation of the
heat developed during the welding
process and, at the same time, it
prevents the user from touching
potentially dangerous parts.
A slight overheating of the
welding head after extended
use is normal. In any event,
the accessible surfaces do
not reach dangerous
temperatures.
1

2 User Manual
Special protections secured with screws give access to the integrated parts to facilitate
maintenance.
Any work on these parts, other than those described in this manual, must be carried out by
qualified technical staff (customer service staff).
2. Work surface
Made of heat resistant and highly stable
plastic material, properly secured to the
welding head, the work surface provides
a convenient support plane and
facilitates cover insertion and the
welding/trimming operations. The
serigraphy on the work surface not only
helps the operator to find the correct
cover size and to align the covers, but
also shows, in graphical mode, the main
steps needed to correctly complete the
covering process. The work surface,
which can be folded back thanks to a
special hinge, is fitted with rubber feet to
ensure excellent stability. This saves
space when the machine is not being
used.
3. LCD Display
Liquid crystal display that shows graphic
instructions and information supporting
the operator. During operation, the
pictures on the display guide the operator
for a correct cycle execution. After the
pressure of the cycle start push-button (4)
or pedal (5), the display graphically shows
the operation the system is automatically
carrying out. During the parameter setting
stage (see section 6.3), the display shows
the selectable settings.

4. Cycle start push-button
After having correctly positioned the document and the relevant cover, press this push-button to start
the welding/trimming cycle. During the parameter setting stage (see section 6.3), using this push-
button you can select the desired option.
+To start the welding/trimming cycle, the push-button must be pressed only once. In other
words, after having pressed the cycle start push-button, neither press it again, nor press the
cycle start pedal until the operation ends.
5. Cycle start Pedal
It has the same function of the cycle start push-button and it allows you to carry out the covering
cycle with hands free. After having correctly positioned the document and the cover, press the pedal
to start the welding/trimming cycle.
+To start the welding/trimming cycle, the pedal must be pressed only once. In other words,
after having pressed the cycle start pedal, neither press it again nor press the cycle start push-
button until the operation ends.
6. Power socket
It allows the connection of the unit’s power cable. See the “Installation and Connection” section for
further details.
7. Main switch
It turns the unit on/off.
8. Pedal connection socket
It allows the connection of the cycle start pedal (5).

4.2.1 Operating Precautions
¾The CoLibrì e-DaVinci book covering machine may only be used to cover/wrap books,
magazines, documents, projects, photos, objects, etc.
Only adults are permitted to use the book covering machine. Children or not properly trained
persons are not permitted to use the unit.
Moreover, the CoLibrì e-DaVinci book covering machine may be used to trim and weld only
covers and document pockets bearing the original CoLibrì marking, or other material approved
by the manufacturer. The CoLibrì system’s covers/document pockets are the result of in-depth
research and development. In particular, they are made of a special highly transparent, non-
toxic, odourless, water resistant material, which is up to 60% air-permeable. The covers are
specially manufactured for softness. In addition, the covers/document pockets of the CoLibrì
system do not release fumes or harmful vapours during the welding process, thus avoiding the
need to install supplementary suction systems.
