5.9 Unwind brake tension
The unwind brakes are uniquely designed to
allow you to change rolls of film without changing
your current brake setting. Brake tension may vary
from roll to roll so some adjustments may be required
for optimal output.

b) Turn the black brake knob counter clockwise
to decrease unwind brake tension.
5.10 Rewind brake tension
The rewind brakes control the tension of the
rewind tubes. Rewind brakes along with the unwind
brakes allow for precise control of the release liner in
PSA films. If using the rewind(s) in a roll to roll
application, the rewind brakes are helpful as the
finished product rewind becomes heavier by adding
more friction to the rewind tube.
a) Turn the brake dial counter clockwise to
increase rewind brake tension.
If m ore brake is needed, add an O -ring
to the brake side of the rew ind.
