TO OPERATE THE ECONODOT
1. Plug the electrical cord into the back of the
machine and then into a wall outlet.
2. Load a roll of Glue Dots products and thread the
liner so a single adhesive pattern comes to rest on
the nose plate. (See Figure 2)
3. Turn on the power using the power button located
on the top of the control box.
4. Press the item to be adhered firmly against the
adhesive pattern resting on the nose plate, peeling
the item off the liner towards the supply reel. (See
Figure 1)
IMPORTANT: Lifting an adhesive pattern directly
up off the liner or in a direction away from the
supply reel may result in pulling excess liner
from the supply reel or tearing of the liner.
Avoid touching Glue Dots Adhesives as dust
and oils will compromise the bond.
5. When the item to be adhered is pressed to the
nose plate and covers the beam on the photo
sensing eye a signal is sent to the machine that the
adhesive pattern is being removed. Once the item
is removed from the nose plate, uncovering the
beam, the motor automatically advances the next
adhesive pattern.
IMPORTANT: The photo sensing eye's beam
must be covered then uncovered to ensure the
advancement of the Glue Dots Adhesives.
6. Repeat application instructions.
7. The EconoDot has a built-in
counter that displays the number
of adhesive patterns used. To reset
the counter push the reset button
located on top of the control box
and hold for 2 seconds.
TO LOAD THE ECONODOT
1. Loosen supply reel clamp knob located in front of
the supply reel plate. Remove the plate by turning it
clockwise and pulling it straight off the spindle. (See
Figure 2)
2. Load the Glue Dots roll onto the supply reel,
ensuring the liner runs in a clockwise direction. For
3/4" wide rolls, place the supply reel with pads
facing inward. For 1" wide rolls, place the supply reel
with pads facing outward.
3. Replace the supply reel plate. Tighten the supply
reel clamp knob.
4. Pull the liner over the first roller, under the second
roller, up through the U-channel sensor and over the
nose plate.
5. Press down on the peeler roller separation lever
located to the left and beneath the peeler rollers
in order to create space between the two rollers.
Thread the liner between the separated rollers.
6. Open the hinged door located on the side of the
shroud and continue to thread the liner downward
through the slit on the top of the shroud.

Control
Box
The EconoDot is designed to automatically dispense
Glue Dots or Glue Lines®, one at a time. The EconoDot
can dispense stock 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" diameter Glue
Dots in all standard tack levels and profiles. It can also
dispense 1" Glue Lines and other custom products which
fall within the registration marks. No programming is
required with the EconoDot.
The EconoDot is not intended to apply other adhesive
types and should be operated indoors.
IMPORTANT: Altering the EconoDot and its
controls from its original manufactured state,
nullifies its CE standards compatibility.
IMPORTANT: Before starting any job, it is
important you test various Glue Dots to
determine the proper adhesive pattern, size,
tack level and profile. Product samples for
testing can be obtained by calling a ULINE
Parts Specialist at 1-800-295-5510.

TO LOAD THE ECONODOT CONTINUED
7. Press down on the spring-loaded lever located
to the right of the motor-driven and clamp rollers
in order to create space between the two rollers.
Thread the liner between the two rollers. Release the
spring loaded lever so the motor-driven and clamp
rollers sandwich the liner. Close the door on the
shroud. (Shroud door must be closed to operate the
machine.)
8. Pull on the liner until a single adhesive pattern
comes to rest on the nose plate.
9. Spent liner should trail into a trash receptacle.
All maintenance and repairs should be performed
by a technical staff member such as a technician,
electrician, maintenance personnel or equivalent.
Maintenance performed by unqualified persons
nullifies the EconoDot warranty.
It is important to keep the sensors free from debris.
Malfunctions not addressed in the troubleshooting
section of these instructions can be directed to the
Repairs Department at ULINE.
The following chart outlines problems that could arise
while using the EconoDot. Malfunctions experienced
outside of the issues outlined below will need to be
