UNPACKING AND SETUP
Remove the laminator from its box by grasping the housings and pulling up. Do not use rollers
or shafts as handles- this could cause damage. Choose a location for the laminator that is
clean, well-lighted and draft free. Make sure it is not in the path of any fans, room air
conditioners, or positioned too close to the wall. The laminator comes fully assembled. All you
have to do is load the film onto the supply mandrels, thread the film through the machine, and
install the feed table.
INFORMATION ABOUT LAMINATING FILM
Laminating film is made up of two layers: a glossy layer which gives the lamination its strength,
clarity and rigidity, and a dull or matte side which is heat activated and serves as the “glue” to
bond the film to the product being laminated. Once heated, small amounts of the “glue” side
can stick to the heat shoes and rollers and must be periodically cleaned from the laminator.
Laminating film is available in a variety of different lengths, qualities, widths and thicknesses.
The DryLam 27STA Laminator is designed to use 1.5 mil (#150), and 3 mil (#300), thick films.
OPERATING
Control Panel
The control panel is located on the left side of the laminator. This panel is used to control the
various machine functions listed below.
Display
(O,P)
The display will show the 3 different parameters of the machine- temperature, speed, and
usage counter. The default display mode is usage counter. If the machine is not yet up to
temperature, the machine will display the set point temperature. When the machine reaches
the set point temperature, the usage counter will be displayed and the “READY” LED will light.
If the speed is adjusted, the machine will momentarily display the speed and then quickly
return to usage counter mode. The "Display" button allows you to toggle between any of the 3
settings for the display.
Power
(E)
The "On/Off" button turns the machine on.
