6.0 Applications
The Patriot 12HR, 25HC and 38HC will accommodate
rolls of film on a 1 in. and 2-1/4 in. cores. This section will
describe how to load and thread film and start an
application. Included in this section are speed and
temperature guide, web diagrams, helpful hints and
important points to remember.
WARNING: Do not wear ties, loose fitting clothes
or dangling jewelry while operating or servicing the
laminator. These items can get caught in the nip and
choke you or you can be crushed or burned.
6.1 Film loading and threading
CAUTION: The top and bottom rolls of film must
be of the same width and be present simultaneously.
Do not allow one roll of film to run out before the
opposite roll of laminating film.
1.
Ensure the roller nip is open and remove the feed table.
2.
Remove the unwind shafts from the laminator. Remove
the core adapters from the unwind shafts.
3.
Slide the rolls of laminating film onto the unwind shafts
so the adhesive is facing away from the heat rollers when
placed on the laminator.
CAUTION: The dull side of the film contains the
adhesive. Use extreme caution when loading
delustered (matte) film as both sides appear dull.
