LOADING FOIL
It is recommended that you load your foil with the machine turned off and given adequate time to
cool down. Loading the foil with the machine hot can result in being accidentally burned.
1. Place foil roll onto foil spool.
2.
Place foil spool onto the front foil bracket.
3.
Feed the foil underneath both of the foil guide bars
.
NOTE:
Ensure that when loading the foil the adhesive (dull) side is facing down
towards the product and the color side is facing up. When looking at the foil from the
front of the machine you should see the adhesive side facing you.
4. Continue to feed the foil underneath the rear foil control arm and through the back of the
machines. Place the foil over your right index finger, and place your right hand with your index
finger extended towards the back of the machine until your index finger touches the location
between the two rollers. Then turn the manual foil advance knob on the right hand side of the
machine. This should feed the foil through the rollers. If you have trouble getting the foil to
start, you may also need to simultaneously push the foil tension roller release lever forward with
your left hand while starting the foil with your right hand. This will open the spaces between
the rollers and allow you to pinch the foil to get it started. Once the foil is loaded you can also
pull the foil tension roller release lever forward to adjust the centering of the foil on the rollers.
5.
Feed the excess foil from the back of the machine directly into a box or trash-can for disposal.
When it is time to cut the excess foil from the back of the machine make sure to use a pair of
scissors.
6.
Lock foil spool roller in place using the brass tension spring clips located on the front foil
bracket.
NOTE:
If foil wraps around Tension Roller, use release lever to open gate and unroll foil from rubber
roller.
Never use a knife or box cutter directly on the rubber tension roller as this will damage the foil
advance mechanism.
