g. HEAT SHOES:
i.) Teflon coated heat shoes melt the adhesive on
the laminating film before the nip rollers compress it.
h. IDLER BARS:
i.) The Idler Bars, located near each supply roll, are
used to direct the film to the heat shoes. The lower
Idler Bar is attached to the Feed Table to facilitate
easy film loading.
i. NIP ROLLERS:
i.) The Nip Rollers are located behind the heat
shoes. The nip point is where the heated film is
compressed and pulled through the laminator.
j. PULL ROLLERS:
i.) The Pull Rollers are located at the back of the
laminator. They simultaneously pull the film through
the laminator and provide tension as the film cools
to provide good quality lamination.
k. REAR SLITTER (FIGURE 2):
i.) Used to cut the film where it exits the rear of the
laminator.
l. SUPPLY ROLL:
i.) The Film Supply Rolls have core plugs inserted
into each end of the rolls. The left and right plugs
are different colors and diameters. The color and
diameter of the end plugs correspond to the size of
the holder and color sticker located on the side plate
of the laminator.
m. FILM HOLDER LEVERS:
i.) There are four film holder levers; two for the
top roll and two for the bottom roll. These must
be raised to install and remove film rolls. Once
installation is complete, close the levers to secure
the rolls in place.
Feature Guide
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR LAMINATOR (FIGURE 1):
a. POWER SWITCH (FIGURE 2):
i.) Located at the back of the machine, applies
power to the laminator. The “ON” position is
indicated by the “I” symbol. The “OFF” position is
indicated by the “O” symbol.
b. CONTROL PANEL (FIGURE 3):
i.) STANDBY BUTTON ( ): Push to turn laminator
on or off when main power switch at the rear of
machine is in the “ON” ( I ) position.
ii.) READY LAMP: This will blink until the laminator
has reached operating temperature. Once operating
temperature is reached, the light will remain on.
iii.) FILM THICKNESS (MIL): Push to indicate film
roll thickness. Light will illuminate under selected
film type.
iv.) SPEED KNOB & AUTO BUTTON: Knob
controls the speed of the rollers. Select “AUTO” to
allow machine to run at pre-set speed.
v.) RUN/REV/STOP BUTTONS: Controls the
operation of the rollers. Select “RUN” button to
start laminating. Select “STOP” when the item has
passed through the machine and lamination is
complete. Select “REV” to clear mis-feed, jams, or
wrap-ups.
c. HEAT SHIELD:
i.) Prevents inadvertent contact with the heat shoes.
d. FEED TABLE:
i.) The Feed Table is used to position items for
lamination. The laminator will operate only when
the Feed Table and Feed Table Latch are properly
secured into place.
e. FEED TABLE LATCH:
i.) Locks the Feed Table into position and activate
an interlock switch. The latch is located on the right
underside of the Feed Table. The Feed Table can be
removed by retracting the latch and lifting the table
upward and away from the laminator.
f. FEED TABLE GUIDE:
i.) The Feed Table Guide aligns items to be
laminated and is used to ensure that longer items
are fed into the laminator straight. The Feed Guide
may also be used to feed smaller items side by side.
To position the adjustable guide, loosen the knob on
the top of the adjustment guide, slide the guide into
the desired position, and then tighten the knob by
twisting counter clockwise.
