6" to 8" gap

5.CONTROL PANEL

1. Speed: To adjust the speed of the welding belt, turn the speed knob clockwise to increase speed or counter-clockwise to decrease the speed.
2. Temperature: To change the temperature use the up arrow to increase temperature or the down arrow to decrease temperature.
3. ST/BY: To switch to stand-by mode (temperature will be automatically set to 176°F) press the ST/BY button.

If the machine is in Stand by Mode and no activity is made for 5 minutes the machine will automatically power off.

4. Power: Power button will power the belts and heater on/off. (Note: To completely power the unit on/off, toggle the main switch located near the power cord)

6. OPERATION

The Banner Welder must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.

The Banner Welder must be used only for welding material for which it has been designed.

For recommended maximum welding thickness see page 15.

Welding:

NOTE: When you feed the banner into the machine, you should guide the banner by the hand or by Banner Guide to keep it move in a straight line.

1. The Banner Welder should be positioned on a level surface in an area with adequate lighting and enough work space for feeding materials. Connect the power cord to the AC outlet and turn the Power Switch to the on position. Depress the power button on the control panel. The machine should only be operated from the front (control side) of the machine. Welding line
2. Before welding, first determine the folded area to be welded, adjust the guide plate and set it to the proper position. Set the temperature and speed referencing the Recommended Temperature and Speed section. (Note: Due to varying manufacturing processes of banner material fine tuning may be required).
3. Fold over material to allow for a minimum of 1/2" weld.
4. The point of the arrow is the middle of the weld. Align the outer edge Fig. 6-1 of the fold over to the inner edge of the arrow.(Fig. 6-1)
5. Guide the banner into machine. The drive belts will grab banner and pull the banner through machine.(Fig. 6-2)
6. Welded banner will exit machine.
7. Test the weld for tight seal.
8. For best results rotate the banner 90° in a clock wise direction. Fold over the short side and guide the banner into the machine with the 4 layer fold entering last. (Note: Turn the speed down 1 to 2 positions to compensate for the extra layers of material). Fig. 6-2

RBW-1500

9. Turn the speed back up and rotate the banner again and fold the longer side of the Sample Pocket Configurations banner and guide the banner into the machine with the 4 layer fold entering last. (Note: Turn the speed back down 1 to 2 positions to compensate for the extra layers of material).
10. Turn and weld last end of banner. (Turning the speed down accounting for the extra layers of material).

Pole Pockets:

1. Weld all unpocketed sides first. (If you weld pockets before regular sides, your pockets will be sealed closed).
2. Loosen the Knob-Bolt Guide on the guide plate on the bottom of the table. Slide guide out to desired depth of pocket. Tighten the knobs on the guide plate
3. Weld pocket at slower speed than regular weld side.

Rope Pockets:

1. Weld banner the same as with pole pockets only making a smaller rope pocket.
2. Insert an electrician's fish tape through pocket and hook on end of rope using a large paper clip. Pull rope through pocket.

Joining Two Pieces Togeather:

1. Cut two pieces to size.

2. Weld one outside edge on each piece.

3. Lay the two pieces together FACE to FACE.

4. Run through machine welding center seam.

7. MAINTENANCE

The banner welding machine has all sealed bearings which do not need any additional lubrication. The only maintenance you may need to perform is replacing the worn out or ripped welding belts, or if you run a printed banner at too high heat, you may need to clean your welding belts.

This is a simple procedure you do while the machine is running.

1. Run a piece of scrap material 2-3 times through the unit. This should clean belts sufficiently.

If you need a more in depth cleaning go to step 2.

2. Power the unit off and unplug the unit from the outlet. Once the unit has sufficiently cooled remove the top and bottom cover (as needed) and use a rubber sand belt cleaner to remove residual adhesive from the belts.

DON’T TRY TO REPLACE BELTS WHEN MACHINE IS HOT

Unplug the unit and allow it to sufficiently cool.

1. Remove the top/board covers. Unscrew the Philips head screws on the top cover and bottom cover.(Fig. 7-1)
2. Remove the drive belt and the three wheels. Push the adjustable base and take off the worn out welding belts.(Fig. 7-2)

RBW-1500

3. To increase or decrease tension on the heating blocks use the adjustment screw, one for the heating block and one for the cooling block.(Fig. 7-3)
4. Replace the worn out belts with new belts.
5. Loosen the adjustment screw. If the banner is too thick, please tight the adjustment screw.
6. Replace the drive belt and three wheels.(Fig. 7-4)

7. Adjust the upper and lower screws to ensure the belts run in the proper position.(Fig. 7-5)

Close to the machine

To move the belts closer to the machine loosen the upper screw and tighten the lower screw.

(To move the belts away from the machine tighten the upper screws and loosen the lower screw).
