==STEP 1: Preparing the machine for glueing==


*Set up the machine as if you would use it normally.
*In the case of an already '''stitched book block''', make sure to '''switch "milling" OFF'''. If you don't have a stitched book block, you can leave it on.

Look now at the top of the machine. There, you have two wells. The first one from the left applies glue on the sides of the book block. For a better finish, you have to block the two wheels on the sides. To do so:

*use a metal stick to push them all the way to the sides (1). '''DON'T DO THIS BY HAND''', the wheels are extra hot! 
*Insert a small screw (usually left handy next to the machine) in the hole you can see immediately next to the wheel. (2)
*Take this step with both wheels.
