Cooling Fans (Not Shown)
The machine may be equipped with cooling fans (fans are standard on 240V machines). These
can be operated by turning the keyswitch to the "unlock w/fans" position. The fans provide
additional cooling necessary for thicker films.
B. Loading Film: 1" Mandrel (B)
Unpack the upper and lower supply mandrels.
The upper and lower mandrels are different.
The word “TOP” is stamped on the shaft of
the upper mandrel and the word “LOW” is
stamped on the shaft of the lower mandrel.
The ends of each mandrel are also different.
The “hanger” end fits in the bracket on the left
side of the laminator. The “slot end” fits into
the tensioner on the right side.
Slide the film roll onto the mandrel by rotating
the mandrel in the opposite direction of the
gripper points, leaving equal lengths of mandrel
sticking out of each end. The film roll will slide
over the gripper, which will keep the roll from
turning on the shaft.
Load the mandrel on the laminator by inserting the slot end of the mandrel into the tensioner on
the right side and then lowering the hanger end into the bracket on the left side.
C. Threading the Film
Remove the feed tray and the heatguard.
Thread the film as shown in the figure on the
right. Pull the film around the idler rollers as
shown. Do not mistake the reinforcing bar
for the idler roller. Make sure the glossy and
dull sides of the film are as indicated in the
diagram. Position the threading board
provided.
Turn power and keyswitch to on.
Start the motor by pressing the "Start" button,
and reduce the speed to 1 foot/min. Feed the
threading board and film in between the heat
shoes. This will pull the film through the
laminating and pull rollers until it comes out the
back of the laminator.
Slide the top and bottom film rolls from side
to side on the mandrels so that the film is
perfectly aligned top and bottom (Note:
overlap will cause the film to deposit residue
on the heat shoes and rollers, so this procedure
is critical). Replace feed tray and heat guard.
