Nip Adjusters
The nip adjusters are located on the left hand side of the
laminator and are operated from the front and the rear of the
machine. The nip adjusters are used to adjust the height of
the rollers.
To Operate the Nip Adjusters:
Grasp the nip adjuster with your left hand and pull out
approximately 1/4”.
Once the nip adjusters have disengaged from the stop,
they may be rotated forward or backward (clockwise or
counter-clockwise, as viewed from the left hand side of
the unit).
To Set the Height of the Rollers:
Continue to rotate the nip adjusters until the desired measurement corresponds with the
measurement indicator on the knob.
Select
the
measurement
that indicates the thickness of the material that you will be using with the
machine.
Release the nip adjusters so that it moves back to the right and clicks into place, this will set the
rollers for use.
The measurements on the nip adjusters, 1/2”, 1/4” (6mm), 3/16” (5mm), 1/8” (3mm) and 1/16”
(1.5mm) correspond to board thickness’.
There is also a fully closed stop, 0” (0mm) for encapsulating applications.
For additional pressure when the rollers are closed, pull the knob out and rotate the knob counter
clockwise to increase the pressure.
Note: Do not apply additional pressure to the rear pull rollers. The rear pull rollers operate
best with minimal pressure.
