Basic Safety Precautions
WARNINGS for Operation

Keep your hands and fingers away from the glue tank when you turn the power on. The
spine glue tank is heated to a temperature of about 140 degrees Celsius / 284 degrees
Fahrenheit (PUR), and the side glue tank is heated to a temperature of about 200 degrees
Celsius / 392 degrees Fahrenheit (EVA). The glue tank will remain hot for a while even after
the Power switch has been turned off. Keep your hands and fingers away from the tank until
the tank cools off. Otherwise, you may be burned. Remember that the covers on the top of
the glue tank are also extremely hot.
Work alone when you operate the machine. Letting someone else operate the machine
could cause it to start suddenly without warning, causing severe personal injury.
Keep your hands and fingers outside of the safety cover and away from any moving parts
while the machine is running. Otherwise, moving parts can cause severe personal injury.
Do not touch the milling cutter or the roughening cutter with your bare hands. Otherwise,
these may cause severe personal injury.
Do not remove or bypass any safety features. Without these protective features, moving
parts can cause severe personal injury.
Be careful not to pinch your hands when inserting a book block into the clamp.
Toxic gases may be generated when PUR is used. Be absolutely sure to install a smoke
extractor or similar device, and ventilate. Wear the protectors recommended by PUR manu-
facturers when cleaning the spine glue tank.
Keep the melting temperature of the PUR within the specified temperature range.
Do not use glue with a flash point below 210 degrees Celsius / 410 degrees Fahrenheit (EVA)
or 180 degrees Celsius / 356 degrees Fahrenheit (PUR).
BQ-280PUR User's Manual 3

CAUTIONS for Operation
If you turn off the Power switch, wait about ten seconds before turning it on again. Other-
wise, a circuit board may be damaged.
When the milling guide and the nipper are set narrower than the clamp width, do not move
the clamps. Otherwise, the lower part of a clamp may hit the guide and be damaged.
Do not insert a book block into the clamp and run the machine during a changeover. This
could damage the machine.
Do not turn the spine gluing roller if the glue is not completely melted. Otherwise, the ma-
chine may be damaged. Measure the glue level when the surface of the glue is flat. If too
much glue is added, the glue may overflow from the tank when the spine gluing roller turns.
Do not set the temperature of the glue to 170 degrees Celsius / 338 degrees Fahrenheit or
lower if you are using HM-403 hot melt glue made by Horizon. If you are using some other
type of glue, do not allow it to overflow from the tank.
Do not use the machine for any improper purpose. Otherwise, the performance of the ma-
chine cannot be guaranteed.
If a jam occurs, remove all the jammed sheets before you start the operation again. Other-
wise the machine may be damaged.
WARNINGS for Maintenance

Turn off the Power switch before beginning any maintenance operation. Otherwise, the ma-
chine may start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Turn off the Power switch before correcting the cause of an overload. Otherwise, the ma-
chine may start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Work carefully when your hands are inside the machine, and keep them away from any
moving parts.
Turn off the Power switch before resetting the circuit breakers. Otherwise, the machine may
start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTIONS for Maintenance
Use only the recommended lubricating oil and grease. Other kinds of oil or grease may re-
duce the life of the machine or cause damage.
The spine glue tank is coated with fluorine resin. The service life of the tank will be short-
ened. If a hard object is used during cleaning, resulting in scratches on the tank. Use the
accessory scraper for cleaning the spine glue tank.
Do not use metal spatulas to clean the nipper mechanism. These will scratch the nipper,
causing the binding quality to deteriorate.
WARNINGS for Installation

Turn off the main power or circuit breaker in the factory before connecting the power cable
to the machine. Otherwise, an electric shock can cause severe personal injury.
If the machine’s power cable will be connected directly to a circuit breaker on the power
distribution board in the building, ask a qualified contractor to do the job.
Do not connect the power cable before being instructed to do this. Otherwise, an electric
shock can cause severe personal injury.
CAUTIONS for Installation
Be sure to install all cables and hoses in areas where they will not catch your feet.
Be sure to install the mounting feet and use the leveling bolts to level the machine. Other-
wise, the binding quality may deteriorate, or the machine may be damaged.
The BQ-280PUR weighs 1,095 kg / 2,411.9 lb. Transport and install the machine safely, and
keep the weight of the machine in mind. Install the machine in a place which can support its
weight.
Install the machine correctly, and refer to the installation manual or installation instructions in
the operation manual before starting the machine. Otherwise, the binding quality cannot be
guaranteed.

5-5 Replacing the Side Glue
If the glue becomes brown or sticky, it is getting old. Replace the glue by following the procedures.
Note
Check that the glue is melted completely
before beginning this operation, and then
turn off the Power switch. Drain the glue
quickly before it hardens.
WARNING
The glue tank may be heated to
200 degrees Celsius / 392 degrees
Fahrenheit. Wear insulating thermo
gloves made of tightly woven cotton
to do this job. Otherwise, the hot parts
can cause severe personal injury.
1 Find a container for the drained glue (capacity 2 liters or more / 0.52 gallons or
more).
Get the drain guide and a cloth to wipe up the glue.
WARNING
For the box to catch the glue, use a type
which will not be damaged by the heat.
It can be dangerous if the box breaks.

8 Close the nipping section cover.
9 Turn on the Power switch and add new glue immediately.

5-6 Daily Cleaning for Spine Glue Tank
Clean the spine glue tank when you complete binding operation or before you replace the PUR glue.
WARNING
•• The glue tank is heated to a tem-
perature of about 140°C / 284°F.
Wear insulating thermo gloves
made of tightly woven cotton to do
this job. Otherwise, you may be
burned.
•• Toxic gases may be generated
when PUR glue is used. Wear the
protectors recommended by PUR
glue manufacturers.
•• Do not turn off the Power switch
until it is instructed to keep the
optional smoke extractor running.
1 Have the following items ready:

• Disposal container (with a capacity of at least 2 liters / 0.52 gallons)
If a cardboard box is used, place a number of sheets in the bottom so that the glue will not leak
out from the gaps.
• Waste cloth to wipe off PUR glue
• Adhesive tape
• Fluorine-resin-coated sheet
• Accessory scraper (Use this to remove hardened PUR glue.)
This scraper is not heat resistant and melted glue cannot be removed from it even once the glue
has hardened. Do not use the scraper to remove melted PUR.
2 Open the spine glue tank section cover and loosen the glue tank locking knobs.
• The glue tank locking knobs cannot be removed. Loosen the knobs until the threaded part comes
free from the tank.

Note
Scrape out as much glue from the inside of
the tank as possible. This makes easier to
peel away the glue after it has hardened.

7 Remove the first and second wipers and the scrape roller wiping plate.
• Loosen the mounting screws for the first and second wipers. Then, push each wiper shaft toward
the rear and remove it.
• Place each wiper which has been removed on the fluorine-resin-coated sheet (supplied).

8 Remove a strip of glue on each roller.
WARNING
Take care not to touch the glue stuck
to the roller directly. Otherwise, you
may be burned.
Note
After the glue hardens, this provides a
starting point for peeling away the glue from
the roller.
9 Cool the glue and turn off the power switch.

12115
50601G1
• Cool the PUR glue completely so that it will not generate the toxic gas.
• Usually, it takes 40 minutes by 22°C / 72°F after the tank unit is removed.

10 After the glue has hardened, peel away and remove the remaining glue.
• After the tank temperature has dropped, use the supplied scraper to remove any bits of glue
which are stuck to the walls of the tank.
12115
50601K1
Important 12115
50601G1
•• Use adhesive tape to completely remove

the small particles of glue left behind
after the larger pieces of glue have been
peeled away. The characteristics of PUR
glue are such that once it has hardened, it
will not melt again even when it is re-
heated. If hardened glue is left in place, it
will be caught into the gaps in the wipers,
possibly causing defects in the binding.
•• The fluorine resin coating on the tank sur-
face will deteriorate. The surface should
be re-coated at half-year to 1-year inter-
vals, although this frequency depends on
the operating conditions.
11 Replace the rubber stopper and slide the rubber stopper clamp into position to hold
it.
Note
If the rubber stopper starts to crack or
swelled after reacting to the PUR, replace it
with a new one.
Tighten the
