Operation of the machine
When you start working stay directly in front of the machine. The laminator has to be turned on with the
main switch (right down, inside the machine). The main switch is lighted in green.
With the keys
SPEED I
or
SPEED II
you decide the speed of lamination. You can also use the footpedal
to adjust the speed of the laminator.
General operation advice
Axles R1-R4 are equipped with adjustable brakes and clutches. All mediums have their own specifi
-
cations, which differ by temperature, humidity, used glue, type of film and more. The best condition is,
when the lamination film is tensioned at the upper roll and can be applied without wrinkles. To find the
best adjustment you start with low brake condition. If necessary you can increase the break power.
We recommend not to use too much brake to get not too much tension. The lamination film would
warp too much and the laminated product would get too much tension. Using the take up for liner you
need low tension. Please notice to adjust the clutches properly.
Operation of the machine
The machine may be used only by trained and qualified personel.
To set the pressure correctly you can either use the pre-set functions „FILM“ or „FOAM“. You can use
also the manual function with arrow-keys up or down. „FOAM“ is for foam boards or other not rigid media.
„FILM“ is for paper, film and self adhesive vinyl. To get the correct right pressure, we recommend to make
tests sample.
When the roller pressure is exceeded to a damaging extent, the machine stops automatically.
To avoid tension and pushing, the material to be worked with should be placed in the middle, i.e. at an
equal distance from both sides; the same applies to small formats (e.g. for a roller width of 1,450 mm and
a material of 450 mm).
When laminating thin foils or paper, it is important to choose the width of the laminate according to the
dimensions of the picture. It should not protrude too far over the print to be laminated as otherwise it
could stick to the lower roller. It is perfect if the paper to be laminated or the base is bigger than the lami-
nate to be applied.
If this is not possible, the size difference between the laminate and the paper has to be kept as small as
possible (no more than 2–3 cm per page) to avoid creases.
Material supply
The media axles (R1 - R4) could be equipped with lamination film, liner or double sided adhesion film. To
place the axes, please notice the pictures and do the following:
Removing the scroller
• Lift up the scroller at the left side.
• pull it from its right fastener
Insert the scroller into the core of the roll of media you want to use which is easy thanks to autogrip mate-
rial insertion. As soon as the machine starts operating, the autogrip function will lock with the media inside
its core and it will rotate with the scroller.
Inserting the scroller
The scroller has two different ends. One end is labeled blue with a red circle. This part is for the right con
-
nection.
