BOND’S PORTABLE BOBBINLESS CARPET BINDER

PBB-4x4 and PBB-2x2

This instruction manual has been prepared and written to guide you in the usage of your PORTABLE
BOBBINLESS BINDER. In order to obtain maximum efficiency from this machine, we urge you to
read this entire manual thoroughly before using the machine for the first time.

Although this machine has been carefully assembled, inspected and tested, should it ever need factory
service, we recommend it be shipped in its original carton. If the original carton is no longer available,
you may use a sturdy carton with ample room to allow packing material (i.e. foam, carpeting, etc.) to
surround the entire machine, (especially the bottom) to prevent it from shifting inside while in transit.

thread through all the guides. Cut off the knot and
continue threading through the needle eye. Leave a
six inch plus tail beyond the needle eye, or...

1. Remove the dome from the old thread canister by
twisting it counter-clockwise (Fig. 1A)

2. Turn the black knob on the top of the canister
counter-clockwise.

3. Replace the empty canister with the new canister
by aligning the threaded rod through the center
holes of the canister.

4. Screw the black knob clockwise to the threaded
rod. Tighten knob snuggly.

5. Install the clear dome over the canister making
sure that the thread is clear and won’t get pinched
as yo u twist the clear dome clockwise onto the
canister base. (Fig. 1B)

6. Pull the thread from the top of the dome and
follow the thread eyelets threading sequence: 1
through 6. (Fig. 1C)

- 3 -

LOOPER THREADING

To simplify the threading of the looper, just tie off
both thread ends with a knot, and then continue
pulling the thread through the thread rod eye and
the tensioner. Continue pulling the thread end
through all eyelets and through both looper eyes.
Leave a six inch tail past the looper, or...

1. Remove the black knob from the empty spool by
twisting it counter-clockwise.

2. Replace the empty spool with the new spool.
(Fig. 1B)

3. Screw the black knob clockwise to the threaded
rod, tighten knob snuggly.

4. Put thread end through the eye of the thread rod
above the spool. (Fig. 1A)

5. Continue threading through the thread tensioner,
then through the eyelet below it.

6. Remove the tape guide bracket by loosening the
two allen screws with the 5/32 allen wrench two
full turns only. (Fig. 1D)

7. Lift up on the folder bracket and set it aside. Put
the thread through the front casting eyelet and
through the take up eyelet, then through the
looper eyes.

8. Leave a 6 inch tail past the looper.

9. Replace the tape folder bracket and tighten
screws snuggly.

You are now ready to bind.

4. OILING

Oiling of all moving parts is imperative before each operation of this machine. The oiling points are

marked in red, spray lube the looper area after blowing off debris from the looper chamber. Use Bond spray
lube, stock# 21325.

5. OPERATION

1. Hold the machine at the handle with your right hand.

2. Support the carpet with your left hand.

3. To start binding the carpet, align one corner of the carpet into the tape folder guide mouth, pull the
trigger switch and slowly feed the carpet through the folder mouth. Let the machine move towards you
without helping it pull through the carpet.

4. When you get to the other end of the carpet, continue binding on the tape until the carpet has passed the
rear feed rollers/pullers. Cut off the tape ½” past the corner.

5. Continue binding the next side of the carpet.

6. Let the machine pull itself. If you pull the machine faster than its speed, the binder will mis-stitch or
break the needle.

7. This machine has variable speed trigger switch. For more speed, squeeze the switch more; for slower
speed, squeeze less. Turn and adjust speed control knob located at the trigger switch until the desired
speed is found.

6-3 Gap between Looper and Needle

Turn pulley by hand and fix eccentric cam so that
the screw (a) may be horizontal position as shown
in Fig. 5, while the looper is passing behind needle
and the sharp point of looper is corresponded with
needle center.
Afterwards, adjust the gap to be 0.05-0.1mm
between looper and needle to confirm they do not
clash with each other when the sharp point of looper
is passing behind needle.
The adjustment of the gap shall be done by
loosening screw (b) of looper oscillating arm.

6-4 Feed Dog Height (Fig. 7)

Adjust the height of feed dog to loosen screw (a) in
order to obtain the most appropriate protrusion of

1.0- 1.2mm above the upper surface of throat plate
after regulating the screw (b).

6-5 Needle Guard Adjustment

Adjust the clearance between needle guard and
needle to zero when the needle is just coming up
from its lowest position as shown in Fig. 8 and
tighten the screw (a).
