INSTALLING FOIL
Specific foils are used for different types of wire insulation. Ensure that you are installing
the foil selected for your particular application. Appendix A lists foils available from
Kingsley, their typical application, and approximate machine settings for that foil.
The roll of foil mounts on the foil spool shaft at the back of the machine. Use the following
procedure to install a roll of foil.
Temperature within the unit can approach 500

F (260

C). Contact
with high-temperature surfaces can cause serious burns. Avoid contact
with all hot components in the wire-marking machine.
Figure 3 Installing Roll of Foil
1. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and the machine is cool.
2. Refer to Figure 3 and remove and retain the clamp collar, spring, and washer from the foil
spool shaft by unscrewing the thumbscrew.
3. Remove and retain the plastic disc from the shaft.
4. Adjust the rear clamp collar to center the foil on the spool shaft.
Note: The shiny side of the foil must be facing up and unwind off the top of the roll.
5.
a. In the case of a 100’ roll of foil insert the bulk roll of foil on the spool shaft.
b. In the case of a 600’ roll of foil use one spacer to set as an internal core
spacer. The 600’ core size is larger in diameter than the foil dispenser
shaft.
