SETTING THE UNWIND BRAKE TENSION 

IMPORTANT! The brake tension greatly 
affects the smooth flow of the laminating film. 

• 

Turning the unwind brake in a counter-clockwise 
direction increases the braking tension applied on 

the laminate. 

• 

Turning the unwind brake in a clockwise direction 

decreases the braking tension.  

• 

The best setting for the unwind brake tension is 
determined by the materials you are using and is 

learned through experience.

LOADING A ROLL OF MATERIAL  

 

IMPORTANT! Make sure to fully release brake 

tension whenever changing a roll of film.  

• 

Swing out the desired unwind shaft towards you 
and use the 5/16 T-handle to loosen the setscrew 

and remove the Lock Collar from the unwind shaft. 

• 

Slide a roll of material onto the unwind shaft and 

replace the lock collar.  

 

IMPORTANT! Make certain that you place the 

roll of film on the unwind shaft so that the 
material will feed with the adhesive side facing 

away from the rollers. 

• 

Press the unwind shaft firmly back into the receiver 
to prevent tension and tracking problems. 

• 

Center the films on the unwind shafts. Measure the 
distance from the face of the cabinet and the film 

edges (not the cores) and adjust until they are equal. 

IMPORTANT! The position of all films, 

boards, rolls of media and cardboard cores for 
wind-ups must be set central in the laminator to 

ensure optimum quality and correct tracking. 

• 

Adjust the brakes and lock collars flush against the 

roll ends and tighten the setscrews.  

IMPORTANT! Do not over-tighten the 

setscrews to prevent stripping the threads.
