The first time the laminator is started and every time it
is serviced you should use the following checklist to
confirm that the unit is operating properly and that all
safety mechanisms are functioning.
Startup Checklist
Start the laminator and go through the following check-
list.
❏
Are the emergency stop buttons working?
Push down on one of the emergency stop buttons.
The laminator should stop and both the upper main
roll and upper pull roll should rise, if they are low-
ered. Twist the button until it pops up. If the main
roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP position, the
machine is reset once the emergency stop button is
released. If the switch is in the DOWN position, it
must be set to the UP position to reset the machine.
Always check both buttons.
WARNING
❏
Are the emergency stop kick cables working?
With the laminator running, step on or kick the
front emergency stop kick cable. The rolls should
stop turning and rise, if they are lowered. If the
main roll UP-DOWN switch is in the UP position,
the machine is reset once tension is released from
the kick cable. If the switch is in the DOWN posi-
tion, it must be set to the UP position to reset the
machine. Repeat the test for the back emergency
stop kick cable.
WARNING
❏
Is the photoelectric eye system working?
With the laminator running, place an object
approximately the size of your hand just in front of
the nip to confirm that the photoelectric eye system
is functioning. The
roll
s should stop. Move the
object away from the nip. The laminator should
resume operation.
WARNING
❏
Is the motor functioning?
Test the motor at various speeds ranging from
0-14 fpm (feet per minute) (0-4.25 m/min). At 0
fpm, the
roll
s should stop turning.
Run the motor in both forward and reverse.
❏
Are the heaters working?
Verify that the top heater controller heats the top
roll and the bottom heater controller heats the bot-
tom roll.
❏
Is the footswitch operating?
Test the footswitch for both forward and reverse
operation. Verify that the footswitch overrides the
photoelectric eye by pressing the footswitch and
pushing an object as large as your hand into the nip
area.
Once you have completed the startup checklist, you can
safely run a test sample.
ALWAYS CHECK THE INFRARED SENSORS
PRIOR TO OPERATION! The sensors must be
clean and have free view of the roll to maintain
proper roll operating temperatures. The rolls can
overheat and cause a fire or seriously damage the
laminator.
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop buttons are functioning properly.
You can be crushed or burned.
Never operate the laminator unless both of the
emergency stop kick cables are functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
Never operate the laminator unless the
