Binding Types
and Required Tools
Congratulations on your purchase of the Fastbind Elite hot melt book binding
machine - the current ag ship of Fastbind models!
Elite offers Fastbinds cutting edge rotary binding technology and takes the
concept further by offering excellent binding charasteristics even with difcult
materials. New double roller roughener broadens binding material range by
providing necessary tools to open paper grain with coated papers. As before,
various cover materials can be processed without time consuming adjustments.
One binding machine to handle a whole range of paper products from simple tear-
off pads to demanding hard cover applications!
We believe that Elite brings tabletop document binding onto a completely new
level and wish you productive moments with it!
General
Elite can be used to bind various paper and cardboard products. All four binding
types can be done with two simple tool sets and with the same machine settings.
The machine is normally delivered with softcover tool set and hardcover tools are
available as an accessory. Following table lists which tools can be used each of
the four binding types:
Section 1
DESCRIPTION
Binding Possibilitiess
Elite uses hot melt adhesive for binding and works properly only with hot melt
type of adhesives. This means that adhesives designed for other purposes, or
containing organic ingredients for instance, cannot be used. The manufacturer
recommends Fastbind Hot Melts, which have optimal melting point - viscosity
combination for Fastbind machines and thus suits for all binding work done with
Elite. Moreover, this adhesive is nontoxic and can be used safely indoors.

Section 2
SAFETY
Operate Safely
Safety Symbols Following symbols are used to warn against dangers or possible sources of
danger. Become familiar with them.
WARNING: Failure to observe may result in personal
injury, death or equipment damage.
CAUTION: Hot surface or hot material. Failure to
observe may result in burns.
CAUTION: Failure to observe may result in equipment
damage.
• Note that the machine weights 52 kg (~105 lb)! When handling the
machine, two persons should always be used. Do not lift from the
rail!
• Install the machine on a stable horizontal surface, close to a power
outlet.
• Fastbind book binding machines are designed for indoor use only.
Avoid drafty, mois and dusty environment. For normal operation, the
ambient temperature range should be +15 to +30 °C.

• Use only Fastbind Hot-Melt adhesives for binding. Caution: using
other than Fastbind adhesives will invalidate the warranty and the
manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused.
• Add only new, clean and dry hot melt glue to reservoir. Collecting
accidentally dropped glue granulates from dirty oor for instance can
block glue applicator and requires expensive service work.
• Do not re-use hotmelt drops from the drop collector tray. These
contain impurities that can block the applicator! From binding
quality perspectivem, chemical properties of the recycled glue are
inferior.
• All of the machine covers, panels and safety labels must be in place
when operating the machine.
• Machine needs to warm up properly before it is ready to use (20
min). Moving adhesive applicator before adhesive has completely
liqueed will damage the machine.
• Do not attempt to alter or modify the machine. It contains high-
voltage components and unexpected faults or electric shock might
occur. Modication will invalidate the warranty.
• Turn the machine off when you have nished working with it.
Even if the machine has unlimited continuous working time, leaving it
on and idle degrades hot melt glue slowly. This can lead to adhesive
‘overcooking’, which blocks the applicator. External timer available as
an external accesory.
• Use only original Fastbind accessories and spare parts approved by the
manufacturer to ensure that the unit can be operated safely. For service
and maintenance, contact Fastbind authorized service outlet.

• Keep the glue reservoir cap on except when adding hot-melt adhesive.
Foreign objects or substances in the adhesive reservoir can seriously
damage applicator.
• Hot-melt glue and parts within the cover of the adhesive applicator
are hot and can cause skin burns. Let the machine cool down properly
before touching this area.
In case of burns:
• Immediately cool affected skin areas using cold, clean water.
• Do not forcefully remove hot melt material from the skin.
• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Glue roller under adhesive applicator is high precision part and designed
for paper contact only. Foreign objects such as paper clips or staples
damage roller easily. Do not try to rotate the roller by force.
Roughener • Roughener is intended for clean paper only. Using roughner on warm
(soft) glue will block the rollers.

To prepare your machine for use:
a) Remove the packing and protective material. When handling the machine,
two persons should be used. Do not lift from the rail!
b) Check the delivery for any damage incurred during transportation.
Conrm that the shipment corresponds with the details in the delivery
note. Inform dealer and sender immediately about possible damages or
incomplete shipment.
Each standard package(*) contains:
• One binding machine unit equipped with
• Οne softcover paperguide and
• Οne softcover nipping plate (marked with “S”)
• One power cable
• This User’s Manual
(*) Denition of standard package may vary in different countries
c) Select a good location for your machine
• Position the machine on a steady horizontal surface close to a
power outlet
• When selecting the location, remember that the machine weights
52 kg (105 lb)
• For your own convenience, make sure that there is enough
space around the machine for papers, covers and other necessary
supplies.
d) Rotate the turntable to down (DN) position (see the printed scale next
to a operating handle). Open the clamp by pulling the clamp handle and
remove the power cord and possible test books.
e) Remove the reservoir cap and check the glue level in the adhesive
applicator. Hot-melt adhesive should always cover the minimum level
plate. This plate with multiple holes is visible when glue has melted and
can be seen from the lling opening.
If the glue level is low, add more hot-
melt to the applicator. Take care not
to overll the adhesive reservoir. Do
not re-use hot melt drops from the drop
collector tray.
Note that the applicator can be moved
only when the machine has warmed
up. At the room temperature hot melt
in the reservoir is still solid and thus
blocks the roller rotation.

f. Connecting the power cord
• Once you have checked that local power supply matches with
the machine’s operating voltage, connect the mains lead.
• Press the main switch to turn the machine on. The green power
indicator light should light up green.
g. Let the machine warm up for 20 minutes. During this time glue in the
applicator’s reservoir melts, and the applicator will run easily along the
guide rail. Now the machine is ready to use.
Note that even the best hot melts degrade during the time in high
temperatures. To preserve adhesive’s chemical properties and minimize
energy consumption, turn the machine off when not working with it.
Alternatively one can use external timer to switch off the electricity after pre-
set time limit. Timer is available as an optional accessory.

5.2. ROUGHENING AND HOT MELT APPLICATION
THICK BOOKS OR BOOKS WITH COATED PAPER:
Roughen book spine 1-3 times. Repeat if necessary.
Roughening opens the paper grain on book spine and
improves binding result with difcult materials. Note that
roughening several times increases spine width. Too heavy
roughening results unsquare book spine.
Run adhesive applicator along the book spine using four step
method illustrated below. It gives the highest binding strength
and can be recommended for all binding types shown in this
manual.
For bindings with easy material, simply apply glue once or
twice along the whole spine length. For thicker books or
books with coated paper, apply glue 2-3 times.
Push the clamp forward and lock it by lifting the clamp
handle up. To keep the turntable still during this action, put
your left hand on clamp’s left knob when lifting the handle.
