PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR WRAPPING PACKAGES
4. The bottom film roll should be threaded
through the position closest to the operator. The
top film roll should be threaded through the
position farthest away from the operator.
Note:
In pulling the film up through the guide, the operator will want to create light tension so that when it
gets cut by the hot rod, the film snaps back slightly. There are two black knobs on the right side of the
frame. Tension on the film can be increased by moving the knob clockwise and decreased by moving the
knob counterclockwise.
5. Turn on the machine using the on/off switch to
the right front of the machine. It will take
approximately 12 minutes for the film cut off rod
to come up to cutting temperature.
