MOUNTING WITH MOUNTING BOARDS
With the laminator unthreaded and free of any roll film:
1.
Set roller temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.
Open roll gap control handle (Large black knob on right hand side of laminator) by turning
clockwise until it stops completely.
3.
Switch speed selector switch (Black toggle switch on control panel) to
POUCH
laminating
position.
4.
Turn speed control potentiometer knob (Small black round knob on front of control panel) up
to maximum speed.
5.
Place the mounting board on a flat surface and place the item to be mounted on the adhesive
(dull) side of the board. Make sure the item and board are free of dust, dirt, or foreign
particles and that the item is square to the edges of the board.
6.
You may tack the item to the board using a heat seal iron or glue stick. Tack only the top two
corners of the item.
7.
Place a release sheet (furnished with your mounting boards) over the entire surface (silicone
side down). This prevents exposed adhesive from adhering to the rubber rollers.
8.
Insert the board and item, tacked edge first, into heated roller nip and press firmly until you
feel the rollers “grab” the mounting board.
9.
After the mounting board passes completely through the laminator, retrieve it as it exits and
lay it flat to allow it to cool for a few minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMP TO
HURRY THE PROCESS BY PULLING ON THE BOARD. THIS COULD DAMAGE
THE DRIVE MOTOR ( AND VOID THE WARRANTY ) . LET THE MACHINE
PROCESS AT ITS OWN PACE .
10.
To resume normal film web lamination, turn speed control potentiometer to minimum speed
(Fully counter-clockwise), switch speed selector switch to variable speed position and close
roll gap control handle. Re-thread laminator as described previously.
