The Control Knob (see figure 1A) is located on
the right hand side of the laminator and should
be operated from this side. The control knob is
used to adjust the height of the rollers.
The Nip Settings are 1/4"(6mm), 3/16" (5mm),
1/8" (3mm) and 1/16" (1.5mm) correspond to
Pouch Board thickness. There is also a closed
position - 0" (0mm) for film and paperboard
applications. Select the setting that indicates
the thickness of the material you are using.
To Operate the Nip Control Knob
1. Grasp it with your right hand and push
in approximately 1/4" (6mm).
2. Once the knob has disengaged from the
stop, it may be rotated forward or
backward (clockwise or counterclockwise, as
viewed from the right hand side of the unit).
3. Once the indicator has reached the desired
nip setting, release the knob or gently
pull the knob out to lock it in place. See
Figure 1A.
