CAUTION:
the following procedure is
performed while the laminator is hot. Use extreme
caution.
TIP:
Film loading is easiest when machine is in a
Ready State or while warming up.
Step 1:
Lift Safety Shield and lower feed table by
pushing down on table latches (Fig. 10)
Step 2:
If reloading film, cut the remaining top and
bottom film webs between the supply rolls and the
idler bars (Fig 10)
Step 3:
Raise the four film levers on the FILM
SADDLES and remove the old rolls of film. (Fig. 11)
Step 4:
Install new film rolls (Fig 12)
a.
EZLoad Film
– Insert the film directly into the
film saddles, making sure the film end plugs
correspond with the saddles in color and size.
b.
Standard Film
– First the film needs to be
loaded on the film shaft and then the shaft
can be loaded into the film saddles. See
directions below for loading film on shaft.
Step 5:
Close the four film holder levers on the
saddles.
Step 6:
Thread the film (Reference Fig. 12 and 15)
a.
Unwind top and bottom film rolls allowing
enough slack for threading.
b.
Drape Lower supply roll (Role 1) over the
top idler bar allowing enough slack to close
the feed table.
c.
Drape the film from Upper roll (2) over the
film from the lower roll.
d.
Ensure top and bottom film edges are
aligned.
Step 7:
Close the feed table and the Heat Shield.
Turn the top roller an extra ¼ turn to create slack in
the film off the top roller. (Fig 14)
Step 8:
Using the film threading card included with
the film, push the film into the NIP of the Heat
Rollers. Continue to push the threading card while
the Forward button is hit in step 9. (Fig 14)
Step 9:
Using the Slow Forward button push and hold while
watching the film thread through the Heat & Pull
rollers and observe the film exiting the back of the
laminator.
