Threading Laminating Film...
These instructions apply to poly-in film rolls (shiny side out, dull side in)
1. For the top supply roll place the mandrel ends into the slots in the top of the
laminator. If you are facing the front of the laminator the film should unwind toward
you from the bottom of the roll as in Figure 3 below.
2. Pull 6"-12" of film from the top roll. Pass the film under the idler bar and over the
heat shoes. Make sure the shiny side of the film is against the shoes. See
Figures 5 & 6 below.
3. For the bottom supply roll, remove the run-off table. From the back of the
laminator, place the mandrel ends into position in lower mandrel holder slots.
Return the Run-off Table to its proper position before operating the laminator. If you
are at the back of the laminator the film should unwind away from you at the top of
the roll as in Figure 4 below.
4. Pull 6"-12" of film from the bottom roll. Pass it under the lower idler bar and
drape the film from the bottom roll over the film from the top roll. Since the heat
shoes are hot the bottom film will adhere to the top film. See Figures 5 & 6 below.
Note:
The shiny side of the film must always go against the Heat
Shoes. If the laminating film is wound with the dull side out, the
Lower Idler Bar must be moved to the lower position. To do this,
remove the side covers and loosen the screws from both ends of the
Idler Bar. Move the bar to the lower position and tighten both screws.
Replace the side covers.
Caution:
The Heat Shoes reach a temperature of
up to 350°F. Do not touch the surface of the Heat
Shoes.
Note:
The surface of the Heat Shoes is Teflon® coated and must
only be cleaned using a soft cloth. They can easily be
damaged by sharp or abrasive objects.
1. Allow the Heat Shoes to cool.
2. Remove the Feed Table by sliding it toward you to expose the Heat Shoes.
3. Cut the plastic film from the supply rolls and where it exits the rollers. Pull the
film toward you and away from the rollers.
4. Lift the film away from the Heat Shoes. Turn the power on and hold the Motor
Drive switch in the REV position while pulling the film forward toward you (from the
front of the laminator).
5. Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove any residue from the Teflon®
surface of the Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers.
6. Allow the Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers to dry before re-threading the film.
Removing Wrap-arounds...
When laminating with thinner gauges of film, there is the possibility of the film
wrapping around the Pull Rollers. Use the same procedure for Cleaning the Heat
Shoes and Laminating Rollers
in order to remove a wrap-around. You should
remove any wrap-arounds that occur as soon as possible. If the film is allowed to
cool while wrapped around the rollers it may be more difficult to remove and the
heat shoes may have to be turned on to loosen the film.
Note:
The heat shoes are hot! Use caution when cleaning the
rollers or heat shoes, or when removing wrap-arounds.
