LIGNMENT
The top and bottom supply rolls must be aligned
as closely as possible. Misalignment can cause
adhesives to be deposited on the rollers.
Fig. 6-18. Measuring Points.
To align the supply rolls:
Use a ruler to measure the distance between the
left edge of the roll to the side frame.
Measure the distance between the right side of
the roll to the side frame.
Shift the roll side to side to ensue that the two
measurements are equal.
