Tension
To adjust tension for upper and lower film rolls, the laminator must be loaded
and heated.
Remove the feed tray. Loosen both tension control knobs by turning
counterclockwise until there is no tension on upper or lower film roll. Film
should pull freely.
Turn the drive switch “ON.”
As film runs through it will appear wrinkled and bubbly. Gradually increase
tension on both rolls, by turning knobs clockwise, until film is smooth on heated
rollers. Once film is smooth, stop tightening knobs.
NOTE:
For best results, reset tension with EACH new pair of film rolls.
NOTE:
As the film roll supply becomes low it is necessary to decrease tension
on the rolls. Reset at approximately the last 1/3 to 1/4 of a roll.
NOTE:
Too little tension on the top or bottom roll causes vertical or diagonal
streaks in the film as it passes around the heated rollers.
NOTE:
If the laminator’s speed is set too fast when using thicker films, wrinkling
and bubbling may occur.
WARNING:
Excessive tension will lead to increased wear and tear on the
laminator.
Once the laminator is loaded, heated and tension adjusted – reinstall the feed
tray.
