Conturo problem

[csamain]

Hello ! 

I start using my festool conturo but I have a big problem: I use my conturo in stationary mode with the  mft/3 ap table and most of the time, when I start gluing, the band is not not driven by the mechanism, the roller turns but the edgeband does not move. So, I have glue everywhere, I can not even interrupt the process ...

I probably have to go wrong but I do not know when or why ... I open the notch to insert my abs band 2mm, I tighten up and then I open 2 clicks. Right?
He writes on the screen that the band is validated and I start it but it does not move, the roller slides on the band! not even 1mm... I tried to insert the band a little more or several cm, it has no effect, .

It has already worked but I do not know how, I proceed in the same way it seems to me... Sometimes the band goes by itself and everything is fine, sometimes it gets stuck and it's shit :-(

Do you have an idea for not having this problem? Sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue

I've also had banding not insert or eject smoothly. Not sure if its weather or moisture related, or maybe a friction issue but giving it a hand helps to facilitate the in-feed and out-feed. Raising up a 3-4 clicks also helps, just make sure you have enough banding height.

I looked close and saw that the main feed drum has a small snubber wheel (it's on a spring to adjust for the edge banding thickness. Took about 45 minutes to clean it. Among the things I did was use a saturated paper towel with cleaner (alcohol and/or lacquer thinner) run through between the rollers. And the back edge of a disposable knife blade as a scraper. I worked great afterwards. Reminds me of fixing printers that wouldn't feed. Just parking this here for the next person(s) looking for an answer. I left my Conturo on, sitting on a table and me on a bucket with a headlamp looking up. YMMV.
