E. REVERSE FUNCTION
The machine is equipped with a reverse function. By pressing the “REVERSE” key, the machine will
release the documents out from the front of the machine to prevent any jam or damage.
F. FILM SLITTERS
This machine is equipped with safety film slitters in the back of the machine for trimming film in
between sheets of laminated material. Simply slide the cutting edge across the film to remove the
finished material. The short slitter is for 2-side laminated film while the longer slitter is for 1-side
laminated material.
G. COOLING FANS
The cooling fans that come with this machine can be turned on or off. When turned on, these fans
assist in cooling down the finished product, enhancing adhesion and preventing warping particularly
when using thicker films.
H. MOUNTING FUNCTION
1. This machine is equipped with a mounting function. The user can choose to mount prints or posters
using up to 1/4” thick foam boards. The foam boards to be used for mounting should be
“self-adhesive” foam board.
a. For mounting and encapsulating using thermal film, simply set the machine up for
2-SIDED
LAMINATION
. Line up the material evenly on a “self-adhesive” foam board and set the
temperature on the machine.
b. For simultaneous mounting with 1-sided lamination using Nylon, BOPP or even thermal film,
set the machine up for
1-SIDED LAMINATION
without raising the middle de-curling bar
using the self-adhesive foam board. Turn the bottom roller heater switch to OFF position.
Adjust the temperature based on the thickness of the top roller film and make sure the print is
properly aligned onto the board.
c. For cold mounting only using self stick boards that have liners, care and precision must be
exercised as this has a tendency to produce wrinkles and/or uneven positioning when the print
is not properly set.
There is no need for film to be threaded onto the machine and it is
recommended to set temperature at 50°C (122°F) on the top roller for best results. S
imply
remove the liner from the board, carefully and evenly align the print and set it onto the
adhesive side. The pressure applied by the rollers will enhance adhesion of the print onto the
board.
Please refer to instructions on how to apply prints on these types of boards that
come with their packaging or consult with the mounting board supplier.
2. Once the machine is hot enough and ready to laminate, push the handle to the “DOWN” position
and motor switch should be in “RUN” position.
