(Figure 5-5)
The core adaptors hold and lock the rolls of film and
release liner on the shafts to prevent side to side shifting.
Grippers on the supply shafts ensure proper tension on the
film. The supply shaft core adaptors lock in place with a set
screw. The release liner takeup core adaptors are held in
place by friction.

B. Roller Pressure Handle
(Figure 5-6)
The roller pressure handle adjusts the amount of roller
pressure needed for various laminating and mounting
applications. Pull the handle away from the laminator,
rotate it to the desired pressure, and press it into the desired
slot. Three main function settings are provided.
IMPORTANT:
Use a pressure setting that is appropriate
for the material you are laminating or mounting.
Release:
Provides the widest opening between the pressure
rollers and takes pressure off the rollers. This is used when
installing new rolls of film. When the machine is not in use,
put the handle in this position.
Mounting:
Used when bonding to a rigid substrate such as
mounting boards. Thickness range is 1/16 to 1/2 in. (1.6 to
12.7 mm).
Laminating:
Used to adhere materials in multiple
substrates. The two positions are low (right) and high (left)
pressure.
