invested in a highly capable binding  
machine that will give you years of reliable  
service. To help protect this investment be  
certain to take advantage of the GBC  
Equipment Maintenance Agreement  
(EMA). The EMA provides your PF-3200  
with proper ongoing maintenance and

performance and long life built into the  
machine. Without an EMA, a charge for  
time and labor would result from every  
normal maintenance or repair service call.  
An EMA for your PF-3200 eliminates this  
possibility by providing you with a low,  
fixed annual cost for protecting your  
valuable machine investment. For full  
details about purchasing an EMA, contact  
your local GBC Branch Office or contact:

GLUE ADJUSTMENT  
GLUE ADJUSTMENT  
REPLENISHING THE GLUE TANK  
The glue level may require adjustment  
when the thickness of the book or pad  
varies. Use the following book spine  
illustrations for guidelines.  
Note that the thickness of the cover  
sheet is an important factor for you to  
make a good spine. Use only the  
suitable thickness of the cover sheet  
associated with the appropriate glue-  
meter position to make a good book.  
CAUTION: GREAT CARE MUST  
BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING  
HOT MOLTEN GLUE. BE SURE  
NOT TO PLACE AN EXCESSIVE  
AMOUNT OF GLUE IN THE TANK AT  
ONE TIME. KEEP IT AT SUCH A LEVEL  
THAT THE GLUE WILL NOT GO OVER  
THE MAX. LINE IN THE TANK WHILE  
THE APPLICATION DRUM IS  
• Increasing the holt-melt glue when  
ROTATING. THIS WILL PREVENT GLUE  
FROM SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK.  
NIPPING PRESSURE CONTROL  
Glue Replacement:  
The nipping pressure control knob is  
located on the left-side of the machine  
(next to the power switch). It allows you to  
adjust the nipping pressure based on the  
thickness of the books and the quality of  
the book spine. Normally the thinner the  
books, the more the nipping pressure.  
The factory setting is set to the mark  
on the scale.  
Hollow  
OR  
Round

glue frequently if the machine is used  
constantly under normal working  
conditions. However, in case the glue has  
been left unused for a long period of time  
with the unit in the “ON” position, and the  
quality is found to be unacceptable, use  
the glue replacement procedures or call  
your authorized dealer.
