If you are replacing existing films, perform the
following first set of instructions,
To remove
existing films. If you are loading film for the first
time, skip these instructions and start with the next
instructions,
To load films onto the supply shafts.
These procedures are performed from the front of
the laminator.
To remove existing films:
Put the roller pressure handle to the
Release
position.
Cut the remaining top and bottom films just
ahead of the pressure rollers.
Do not allow the remaining film to pass through
the laminator if there is any exposed liquefied or
tacky adhesive.
Pull the remaining film out the back of the
laminator.
Remove the release liner from the take-up core
by doing the following.
Lift the right end of the shaft out of its
bearing cradle and then pull the hex end
out of the left side.
Unwind or cut the liner from the core. Do
not damage or throw away the core.
Put the shaft, with the core, back on the
laminator by inserting the left end (hex
end) in the drive on the left and then set
the bearing end into the cradle.
To remove the film supply shaft, lift the right end
of the shaft out of its bearing cradle and then pull
the hex shaft out of the brake hub.
Do this for the top and bottom supply shafts.
Slide the core off the shaft and core adaptors.
Twisting the shaft as you pull makes it easier to
extract it.
Clean the rollers and idlers if needed.
