The universal gluing press “LEIMO” is used for gluing applications in the wood processing industry.
Thanks to its easy handling and versatile extras, this press is extremely economical and time-saving
to use.
The Feichtner ** UNIVERSAL GLUING PRESS “LEIMO” ** may only be used for gluing
wood and wood joints.
Observe the instructions given in this operating manual. Use of this device for other than its intended
is unsafe.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability for resulting personal injury and / or material damage
from improper use.
It is recommended to consult a person who already has experience with such a machine when
assembling and setting up the machine.
Only original accessories or spare parts ensure perfect functioning of the machine.
No liability is assumed for damage resulting from the use of external components.
The device should only be operated, maintained and repaired by persons who are
familiar with the intended use and the dangers of the device!

Any person charged with setting up,
operation, maintenance and repair must have
read and understood the operating instructions and,
in particular, the chapter on safety.
It is recommended to the machine user to provide in-house operating instructions, prepared by a
person with professional skills and qualifications to train particular operators. The participation of the
instruction and training has to be confirmed by all participants in a written record.
Safety instructions to the machine user and / or operators:
– Any operation, that affects the safety of the equipment, must be omitted.
– The operator must ensure that no unauthorized persons work with or on the machine.
– The operator is obliged to check safety-relevant parts, f. e. protective devices before setting up
and in case of defects to have them repaired before start up the machine.
– The operator has to take care that a holding-down device is used for surface gluing so that the
workpiece cannot fall out of the frame due to the pressing pressure.
– When moving the press arm, hold the pad shoe, so that it cannot fall downwards.
– The pressure elements should only be actuated by means of pure muscular strength and
without the aid of any tools. A violation of the regulations will result in a damage to the gluing
press (bent profiled pipe, broken rack-and-pinion gears) which is excluded from the guarantee.
– It is important to ensure, whether there is any other person in the working area or danger area.

Make sure, that the gluing press is freely accessible on a leveled floor, and attach it to the floor.
(Assembling of the press see chapter “Assembling”)
Before starting work:
¾ Always check whether all the controls on the gluing press are okay.¾ Check whether the pressure elements are free from dirt.¾ Remove possible glue residues from 90°-stop and pad shoes, so that a clean gluing (bond)
is guaranteed.
Calculate the dimensions of the finished wooden board, so that you can adjust the
press arms and pad shoes accordingly.
¾ Adjust the press arms in such a way (horizontally move) that a uniform distance and thus a uniform
pressing pressure is produced.
¾ Make sure that the pressure elements are cranked all the way up.¾ Now adjust the pad shoes in such a way that the finished wooden board still receives enough
press pressure (Observe the max. distance of the hydraulic cylinders!).
Pull up the pad shoe to release the locking pin.
The pad shoe can now be moved freely.
Then release the pad shoe just before the desired position and
push it until the bolt snaps back into place.
Clamping and gluing process:
If the pad shoes and the press arms have been positioned, the actual working process can be started.
¾ Fill (equip) the press with the glued workpieces, so that they are in contact at the 90°- stop.¾ Now crank the pressure elements downwards until the desired pressure is reached.¾ After the required drying time, the pressure elements have to be cranked up again in order to free
the finished wooden plate. The plate can now be lifted off the pad shoes.

How to use the holding-down device (clamping device) (accessory):
Use a clamping device for surface gluing so that the workpiece does not bend forward during pressing
and the surface becomes even.
¾ The clamping device is simply to be mounted at the upper and lower longitudinal pipes from above.
(see illustrations on the left)
¾ Now move the clamping device to the desired position.¾ Then crank the hold-down profile in the direction of the wood panel until the workpiece is evenly
against the press arms.
The clamping device serves only to prevent a deflection of the workpiece,
and not as an additional pressing device.
Place the clamping device on the top
Place the clamping device on the work piece by means
of a crank
Mount the clamping device
on the lower position

4) Now screw the upper longitudinal strut (80/40/2000) with the right and left side parts as shown on
the lower holes of the flaps under the vertical cross tube.
5) The upper longitudinal strut can now be screwed to the right side part with the remaining two
screws.
6) Now screw the upper longitudinal strut on the left side part with the remaining two screws.
By doing so, the other bracket, as shown in the lower longitudinal tube has not been forgotten.
7) Screw the angle stop (60/30/1500) to the upper and lower bracket now.

8) Finally, tighten all bolts and nuts under constant
control of the parallelism of the framework firmly.
Check the parallelism from the upper to the lower
longitudinal strut.
9) Now place the mounted press arms into the frame
from above.
10) Thread (mount) the pad shoes from below and allow
them to engage at the same height.
11) Place a straight crossbar across the three pad shoes and check that the crossbar
is parallel to the upper longitudinal tube. It is necessary to check, if the crossbar rests even on all
three pad shoes. If it is required, adjust one or the other pressing arms in height using the grub
screws (headless screws). Check by means of a 90° angle whether the straight crossbar on the
pad shoes to the frame is at right angles and adjust the frame if necessary by adjustment.

12) Attach the clamping device (accessory) to the upper and lower longitudinal tubes from above.
13) Place the side pressure device on the longitudinal tubes and make sure that they snap into the
perforated rows of the profiles. The lowering of the side pressure device is initialized by means
of a control lever on the lifting mechanism.
