6.2 – Edgeband adjustment
This machine is factory adjusted to work with 0,5mm
thick edgebands.
To work with band thicker than 0,5mm (3,0mm
maximum), see on page 19 how to perform the adjustment.
 With the piece in hands, the operator must choose the
thickness of the edgeband that will be used fig. 19.
 Then place the edgeband roll on the support fig. 20.
 Loosen the handles 01, 02 e 03 fig. 21.
 Drag the handles 01 and 02 up.
Fig. 19
Fig. 20
Fig. 21
 Place the edgeband as shown in fig. 22.
 Simple place (do not press) the handles 02 and 03 on the edgeband per fig. 21 and then tighten the
handles. Notice that the edgeband must remain loose.
 Proceed as the previous steps for the handles 01.

6.3 – Placing the adhesive into the glut pot
 Remove the cover from the glue pot. 24.
 Place approximately 500g (17oz) of adhesive fig. 25. Use only adhesives for low to middle speed
edgebanders.
Fig. 24
Fig. 25
 Never put your hands or other body parts inside the glue pot, as this presents risks of severe burning.
 Never mix adhesives with different formulations, this will decrease the efficiency of your edgebander.
Always clean the glue pot when replacing the adhesives.

6.4 – Adhesive temperature adjustment
 Turn the general switch on fig. 26.
 The IC-1000 ELECTRONIC edgebander is
programmed to work with the glue pot or application
temperature between 125°C to 230°C (257 to
446°F), however, this equipment is shipped from the
factory adjusted to work with the glue pot or
application temperature in accordance with the
adhesive which comes in the equipment. For other
temperatures, Always check the technical
information with the adhesive supplier.
Fig. 26
If any glue pot temperature adjustment is required, proceed in the following way:
 Press the button beside the display for approximately 5 seconds to access the menu, per fig.27.
 After accessing it, turn the same button until reaching the “TEMPERATURE POINT” option, then
press the button to access the option, per Fig.28.
Fig.27
Fig.28
On the following screen, you will be able to choose the desired temperature by turning the button, per
Fig.29. The temperature range is from 125ºC to 230 ºC (257 to 446 ºF).
After defining the temperature, press the button to confirm, per Fig.30.

Fig.30
6.5 – Adhesive adjustment
The IC-1000 ELECTRONIC edgebander is factory adjusted with the glue coat ready for use, however,
if an adjustment is necessary, please proceed in the following way:
 When the temperature on the display reaches the adhesive application temperature, click the press the
button beside the display to start the glue roller, as shown in fig. 31.
 With the machine on and adhesive in the working temperature, turn the handle clockwise to increase
the glue coat and in anticlockwise to decrease the adhesive coat fig. 32. Like that, the ideal quantity
(thickness) of adhesive is obtained to perform the job.
Fig.31
Fig.32

INMES Industrial ltda – COLADEIRA DE BORDA IC-1000 ELECTRONIC
15
 When turning the machine off, wait for at least 5 seconds to turn it on again.
6.6 – Feed rate adjustment
To adjust the feed rate, proceed in the following way:
Turn the button beside the display, per Fig.33. Turning it clockwise, the speed increases and turning it
anticlockwise, the speed reduces.
The edgebander works within a speed range of 3,5m/min. up to 9m/min. (11 to 29 feet/minute).
Fig.33
Obs: This command will work only when the forward button is positioned in “ON” and the roller is
spinning.
6.7 – Gluing the edgeband
It is recommended that the pieces to be glued are dry and free of dust and oils. For wood veneers,
ideally, they must be free of moisture and stored in a kiln prior to edgebanding. For wood substrates, the mois-
ture must be preferably between 8-12%. The edgebanding can be affected by the room temperature, for both
the adhesive and the materials to be processed. Therefore, the minimum room temperature for working must
be 18 °C (64 °F).
 Never adjust the amount of glue until it reaches the work temperature.
 The room temperature affects the adherence of the edgeband. It is recommended a pre-heating of
the edgeband when the room temperature is lower than 18ºC (64 ºF) for a superior edgebanding
result.
 In cold weather, it is recommended to turn the machine on 30 minutes prior to start working.

INMES Industrial ltda – COLADEIRA DE BORDA IC-1000 ELECTRONIC
16
Now with all adjustments done, proceed in the following way:
 Keep the edgeband in the position shown in fig. 32.
 Take the piece to be edgebanded and firmly support it over the fences.
 It is required that the work piece touches the limit switch (01) Fig. 33.1.
 Push the object using both hands making it touch the glue roller and then the edgeband fig. 33. The
piece to be edgebanded must be square (90º between the base and the side to be edgebanded) in order
to obtain a perfect adherence fig. 34.
 Keep a slight pressure against the edgeband, assuring a perfect adherence.
 The maximum length of the piece to be edgebanded may not be superior to 3 meters (9,5 feet). For
edgebanding pieces between 2,5 to 3 meters long (8 to 9,5 feet), it is required to wait between 30 to 60
seconds before feeding the next piece.
Fig. 32
Fig. 33
Fig. 33.1
 When finished, press the cutter handle to cut the edgeband fig. 35, 36 (keep the piece as close as pos-
sible to the blade to obtain a better cut).
Fig. 34
Fig. 35
Fig. 36
 Never leave your hands close to the edge of the piece when cutting the edgeband.
 Keep hands away from the cutting blade.

6.8 – Machine adjustments for edgeband thicker than 0,5mm (1/64”) and maximum 3,00mm
(1/8”)
To work with edgebands thicker than 0,5mm (1/64”) and maximum 3,00mm (1/8”), follow the pro-
cedures below:
 With a 5mm Allen Key, loosen the indicated bolts, as shown in fig. 37.
Fig. 37
 It is recommended to use a 100mm (3 15/16”) long and 15mm (19/32”) wide MDF board (not sup-
plied with the machine) and use a 500mm long (19 11/16”) edgeband with the desired thickness (not
supplied with the machine) for the adjustment, as shown in fig. 38.
Fig. 38
 Perform the edge banding on the MDF board, per 39.
Fig. 39

 Note that the part of the
MDF board where the
edgeband is bonded
cannot exceed the limit
indicated, per fig. 43.
Fig. 43
 Adjust the rollers and the fence so that they are perfectly supported by the MDF board as shown in
fig. 44, keeping the board constantly touching the support points. Once they are adjusted, tighten all
the bolts.
