2. Feed the edge banding through the machine and allow it to adhere to the edge.
3. Hold the edge banding firmly in place as it exits the machine.


Trimming and Flush Cutting
1. Use a utility knife to trim any excess edge banding from the ends.
2. Install the flush trim bit in a router and adjust its depth to be flush with the surface of the workpiece.
3. Carefully guide the router along the edge of the edge banding to trim any overhang.
4. Use the trimming knife to remove any remaining burrs or imperfections.
## Tips for Precision Cutting
* Use a sharp utility knife and flush trim bit to ensure clean and precise cuts.
* Test the edge banding machine settings on scrap material before cutting the actual workpiece.
* Make sure the edge to be banded is clean and free of debris before applying the edge banding.
* Use a miter saw or angled jig for cutting mitered edges on corners.
