FIGURE 9 FIGURE 10
1. Starting Tape Into Advance Rollers (FIGURE 9)
A) Place the roll of edge tape to be used onto tape table so that when the tape end is pulled
toward rollers; the side facing the inside of the roll is facing the operator. NOTE: Tape
being used must be a minimum of 1/8” wider than the thickness of the panel. E.g.: 3/4”
panel –7/8” tape not 13/16”.
B) Place the tape end under the tape infeed ring donut, then while keeping the tape flush to
the bottom of the groove.
C) Place the tape end between the rubber driven roller and the metal pinch roller.
D) Turn the rubber tape advance roller till the tape end just passes the infeed knife set.
E) Adjust tape in feed ring donut height with approximately 1/16” clearance using the
plastic thumb knob to lock into place.
2. Adjusting Tape Guide (FIGURE 10)
A)With power switch turned off, advance tape until it passes all the way through the tape
guide. Note: If tape is too wide to enter tape guide, turn the knurled adjusting knob
clockwise till tape can pass all the way through guide.
B) Turn the Tape Advance Roller back and forth by hand so that the tape is continuously
moving. Lower the upper guide by rotating the knurled knob counter clockwise until a
slight drag is felt against the tape.
C) Now turn the knurled knob clockwise (about ½ to ¾ of a turn) until the drag
disappears.
D) Pull tape back so that the leading edge of the tape is just past the infeed guillotine. This
is where the tape will always be positioned when starting a new roll or after changing
tapes.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
UPPER ROUTER HEIGHT ADJUST POWER FEEDER HEIGHT ADJUST
FIGURE 11 FIGURE 12
3. Upper Router Height Adjust (FIGURE 11) (Accutrim system)
A) With the machine in the “OFF” position use a sample piece of panel, slide the panel
forward till it passes under the Upper Cutter Contact bearing. The router should lift up
approximately 1/16”. If not, loosen the two knurled jamb nuts and adjust till the correct height
is achieved, then lock the jamb nuts to secure setting. NOTE: At first, this adjustment can be
performed with the feeder lifted to full height and swung away (see section on power feeder
height adjustment). Once the operator is more familiar with the machine, the adjustment is
easily done with the feeder lifted slightly, so the panel can be slid through without
contacting the belt feeder.
4. Power Feeder Height Adjust (FIGURE 12)
A) Take a sample of panel to be banded and lay it on the tabletop slides parallel to the front of
the power feeder. B) Lower the feeder until the top of the panel is approximately 2MM (3/32”)
higher than the bottom of the rubber feed belt or a 3/32” from the bottom of the feeder roller.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten both feeder-locking screws before operating and loosen both
before adjusting height or the level of the feeder may be disturbed and re-levelling will be
necessary.(Reference Fig.7 & 8 )
To swing the power feeder away for cleaning or making adjustments, loosen the rear locking
lever then completely remove the front locking lever 2 (Reference Fig. 7 & 8). Raise the
feeder using the crank handle to its full height and swing towards the outfeed end of the
machine. NOTE: The dust collection hose must be removed first as well as unplugging the
power feeder supply cable. FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE FEEDER CABLE MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CABLE AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

5. Control Panel (Figure 13)
The Control Panel functions Figure 13 from left to right.
1. Main Power On/Off Switch
2. Feeder Power On/Off Switch
3. Glue Auger On/Off Switch
4. Temperature Controller
Note: In regular operating mode these three switches should be all turned to the on position, even
in heat up mode.
When the Main Power Switch is turned on the glue will begin to heat. All other functions
will be operational. Eg. Trim Motors, End Cut Guillotines, etc. NOTE: No adjustments should
be made while main power switch is on. Severe injury may occur to hands if cutters are triggered
inadvertently.
The Feeder Power Switch turns the power feeder on and off as well as setting the standby
temperature mode. When the feeder is switched on, the normal operating temperature will be
shown in the lower SV (Set Value) display. If the machine is to be left standing unused for a
short time (1/2 –1 hour) and the operator does not wish the glue to cool completely, turning
the feeder switch off will engage the standby temperature. The lower SV value will change to
indicate the lower temperature. Turning the feeder switch on will reinstate the normal
operating temperature and heat up time is substantially reduced. NOTE: The 72GP has a
“Time Out” Function that will turn off the power feeder and engage the standby temperature
feature if left running but unused after 15 minutes. To restart in normal operating mode, turn main
power switch off for two (2) seconds, then on again.
The Glue Auger Switch turns the glue auger motor on. The auger should be on while at
operating temperature to prevent glue from burning in the upper housing and to help maintain
consistent temperature. NOTE: The safety feature will not allow the auger motor to turn on until
a preset temperature is reached, even though the auger switch is turned on. This is to protect the
motor and other components from damage while the glue is still solid or too thick. The machines are
all programmed for low temp glue. Contact the factory if you are considering using a high temp
glue.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
FIGURE 14 FIGURE 15
6. Operating Temperature (Figure 14 )
The 72GP has a factory operational setting of 140°C, but is adjustable from 100 –210oC please call
factory if there is a need to change setting. The operating temperature will depend on the glue being
used. Refer to glue manufacturer’s specification sheet for correct operating range. We recommend
using Jowatt low temp glue, applies best at 140°C (Cat #282.20).
To change temperature setting, use the up or down arrow until the lower green SV display reads the
desired temperature. The temperature will begin to change, but allow sufficient time for the new
setting to be reached.
7. Glue Application Adjustment (Figure 15)
From time to time the operator may want to adjust the amount of glue being applied due to varying
conditions. Including: Panel core density (porosity), type of tape being applied, viscosity of glue,
etc.
To adjust the amount of glue being applied, slightly loosen the lock down bolt using the 1/8” allen
key wrench. Then use the 1/8” allen, as shown in Figure 15, to adjust your Glue adjustment screw.
Turning the glue adjustment screw clockwise will increase the amount of glue and turning it counter
clockwise will reduce it. This adjustment is done while at operating temperature and while auger is
turning. CAUTION: These parts are extremely hot and can produce severe burns.
8. Glue Level
The glue reservoir must be filled to a minimum level that covers the thermocouple (small metal
probe at front left of reservoir). When adding glue pellets to existing hot glue, add to the rear of the
reservoir so new pellets have time to melt before being drawn into the glue auger. It is very
important that the Glue Pot not be filled too full. For most small shops edgebanding two (2) hours
per day or less, keeping the glue level ¼” below the top of the middle heating fins ensure that new
glue will be added frequently. This will keep the glue fresh, ensuring maximum adhesion at all
times and reducing cleaning and maintenance to the glue applicator assembly, as well as shortening
heat up times. CAUTION: Glue reservoir and all related parts, including the lid, are extremely
HOT. Care must be taken while working around hot parts to avoid severe burn

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
EDGETRIM FINE ADJUSTMENT REAR CUT ADJUSTMENT
FIGURE 16 FIGURE 17
9. Top and Bottom Edge Trim Fine Adjustment (Figure 16)
The 72GP utilizes high rpm routers with a 100bevel bit to achieve a smooth accurate trim. To
adjust the closeness of the trim, loosen the router locking collar and rotate the adjustment knob
till the trim is satisfactory. Rotating the knob clockwise, leaves more tape, counter clockwise
brings the trim closer to the panel edge. Remember to tighten the locking collar after each
adjustment. TIP: It’s a good idea to keep a slight amount of pressure on the back of the router
while making adjustments to take out any free play.
10. Front Tape Length Adjustment
No adjustment is necessary as the knife cuts while being tight against the panel.
TIP: To get the best results, be sure knife components are free of debris.
11. Rear Tape Length Adjustment (Figure 17)
Periodic adjustment may have to be made due to many factors. Panel squareness, feed speed,
panel warpage and tape composition (wood/polyester/PVC) can all affect the rear trim length. To
adjust, run a sample panel with the tape to be used. Note the rear trim length. To lengthen trim,
turn the adjustment screw with the 3/16 allen wrench clockwise. To shorten, turn counter
clockwise until you achieve the desired trim. Note: Many types of panel composition (i.e.
melamine) are prone to having some curvature when cut to size from a full sheet. This can affect
rear trim. It is suggested that trim be adjusted slightly long (1/16) and then touched up with a file
or knife in cases where rear trim varies from panel to panel. This will avoid having a short trim
situation where the tape must be removed and new tape reapplied.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
FIGURE 18 FIGURE 19
12. Banding Laminate Strips
Banding laminate strips is done by placing a strip into the slot, similar to the tape placement. The
strip should be approximately 1” longer than the panel being banded. Because the guillotines
cannot end trim the laminate they must be disabled and the trimming of the ends done manually.
To disable the rear guillotine, turn off the toggle switch located on the side of the main power box
(FIGURE 18).
To disable the front guillotine with the power turned off, open the outfeed end access door and
remove the return spring from the ¼” attachment rod and push the knife closed manually
(FIGURE 19). NOTE: Be sure power is off while doing this. The guillotine will stay closed
and out of the way of the laminate strip passing by. Note: A buzzing noise may be heard as the
panel passes through but this is normal and when returning back to normal edgebanding
operation. Reconnect the spring for banding tape.

13. Adjusting Glue Pot / Glue Auger
If the glue auger is not perpendicular to the panel face it may be easily adjusted by removing the
cover from the glue hinge access opening (FIGURE 21) and using a 3/16” Hex Wrench to loosen
the adjusting screws (FIGURE 22). Using the aluminium square provided (Figure 20), tilt glue
pot until glue auger is perpendicular to the machine top and retighten screws. NOTE: The auger
is factory aligned and tested however due to shipping it may have moved slightly and need
minor alignment, following these procedures. POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND
GLUE POT ALLOWED TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT.
FIGURE 22 FIGURE 23
NOTE: Hinge Access opening (FIGURE 21) also allows access to hinge pin grease fittings.
The hinge pin should be lubricated after every 40 hours of use with a high quality high
temperature grease (FIGURE 23).

FIGURE 24 FIGURE 25
14. Opening End Access Doors
To open end access doors (FIGURE 24), use a 1/8 allen wrench to remove the 10-24 flat head
screws located in table top at either end of machine. When closing the doors be sure that the
retention screw is aligned correctly and won’t become cross-threaded.
NOTE: End access doors must remain closed at all times during operation and should only be
opened after power has been disconnected to avoid possible electrical shock.
15. Powerfeeder Leveling
If powerfeeder level has been altered by accidentally raising or lowering feeder without loosening
infeed locking handle, it can be re-levelled by the following procedure.
A. Loosen feeder mount cross bolt just slightly with a 9/16 wrench (FIGURE 25), just enough
so that feeder will rotate on support post with a moderate amount of pressure on the infeed
end.
B. Using a small piece of melamine (approximately 2” x 3”) as a gauge, slide melamine piece
under #2 and #6 wheels and adjust tilt of feeder until it is perfectly level (within 1/64”) from
front to back.
C. Tighten cross bolt when finished and re-check level to be sure the feeder hasn’t moved while
retightening.
NOTE: It is imperative that the feeder be parallel with tabletop. If your panel does not stay
tight to the guide fences while operating check the feeder level and adjust if necessary.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
16. Starting Your Machine and Feeding in a Board
A. Switch the main power switch to on position and turn on the power feeder and auger switch.
Operator should see temperature reading on display reach operating temperature (140o C
factory setting) in approximately 10-15 minutes depending on available supply voltage and
level of glue in reservoir. NOTE: Temperature reading may rise past the set point for a
short time before settling back to set point. This is normal
CAUTION: A low temperature glue must be used (140 –160o C operating range) to prevent
serious damage from occurring to the auger drive motor. JOWAT 282-20 Glue is
recommended. If it is necessary to use high temperature glue, other changes must be made to
the safety settings programmed into the temperature controller to avoid damaging components.
Contact Safety Speed for technical information necessary to make these changes.
B. Once the machine is at operating temperature *(see section on Operating Temperature), it is
ready to start edgebanding. Slide the board along the infeed fence keeping pressure against
tape advance roller and the infeed fence, until leading edge of board meets the advanced tape
at the pressure roller (FIGURE 26). At this point the power feeder will maintain adequate
pressure of the panel against the pressure roller. After the board has stopped at the outfeed
side of the feeder it must be pulled directly off the end of the machine, rather than lifting it
up, so that the trim motors will automatically turn off. NOTE: It is the movement of the
panel against the first rubber roller, which rotates the roller and advances the tape.
Failure to keep the panel against the infeed fence and first roller will cause the tape to be
short at the front of the panel.
FIGURE 26

17
C. MAINTENANCE
The glue reservoir must be cleaned regularly of burnt glue build-up. Care must be taken not to
bend or damage the thermocouple during the cleaning process. The cleaning frequency will vary
depending on amount of usage, temperature range of glue being used and type of glue being used.
Every eight (8) hours of operation
Lubricate the glue spindle drive chain with a high quality chain lubricant.
Open the end access covers using the 1/8” hex wrench provided, and using compressed
air, blow through the area below the machine to remove cuttings, which may have
escaped the dust collection system.
Spray the end trim guillotines with WD-40 or equivalent to reduce glue and particle build-
up.
Raise power feeder and while it is operating, hold a damp cloth to the bottom of the belt,
to remove build-up that may affect belt traction and feed consistency. WARNING: Use
caution when doing this and keep hands away from trim bits and end cutters that may
be inadvertently turned on. A safe way to avoid accidentally turning routers on while
cleaning belt, is to switch the manual switches situated on the routers, to the “OFF”
position.
Periodically, the four (4) blue slide strips mounted on the tabletop should be cleaned and
lubricated with WD-40 or an antifriction spray such as “Top Cote”.
Inspect and clean the tracer bearings to make sure they are clean and free of debris. These
bearing are located in front of the upper and lower router bits. The bearings ride on the
material as the trimming takes place.
Once a month
With the locating shoulder screw removed, lift the power feeder to its highest position and
apply a light coat of high quality grease to the feeder support post.
