4. SET LAMINATION FILM/MANUAL MODE (cont’d)
11. Using an 11” long (by 8.5” wide) threading
card (Drylam part number 964202), push both
sheets of film between the rollers (and into the
‘nip’). Holding the card level continue to push
both sheets of film all the way through the
machine. There should only be 1” of threading
card exposed at the fronts of the rollers at this
time.
If the threading card will not pass a point about 4” into the machine it is likely being stopped by
the film guides on the Cutter Unit.
The threading card MUST pass yet another 4”, or so,
beyond that point before the lamination handle is lowered
and before the motors are run.
HINTS FOR EASIER THREADING:
1) Loosen the tension controllers.
2) Turn the rolls of slick to ad “slack” to the film web.
3) “Aim” the threading card either up, or down, to allow it to enter the full 11” length. This is extremely
important as machine damage may otherwise result if loose film were to “wrap” up or tear off inside the
machine.
12. Do NOT lower the Lamination handle at this
time.
