(2) ONE-SIDED LAMINATION
LOADING THE FILM
Unpack only the upper rod. Install nylon, BOPP or even thermal film by following an
adapter---film---adapter sequence onto the rod and fit the adapters onto the paper core. Leave equal
lengths of the rod out of each end. Use the guide to position the roll of film then tighten the screw on
the adapter to secure the roll film. Load the rod on the laminator.
Note:
BOPP film is mainly suitable for 1-sided lamination on mounting boards or thick print sheets as it
has a natural tendency to curl even with very little heat. For best results on 1-sided lamination
without mounting, we recommend using nylon or thermal film for this application.
THREADING THE FILM
Refer to the threading diagram for one side lamination. Do not mistake the reinforcing bar for the idler
roller.
1. Please pull the handle to the “UP” position to release pressure on all the rollers, then thread the film
through the upper hot rollers & pull rollers.
2. Thread the film by the rollers and make sure the film is perfectly aligned.
3. Lift the left and right knobs found in between the front and back rollers to raise the middle
de-curling bar. Set the knobs down on the raised slots to lock the de-curling bar in place. Simply
skip this procedure when doing simultaneous mounting and one side laminating using nylon, BOPP
or even thermal film.
