HOW TO USE A. LAMINATING FUNCTION (1) TWO-SIDED LAMINATION LOADING THE FILM This machine has the capability of loading laminating film with 1” cores and with 3” cores using the adapters on each side of the roll included. Unpack the upper and lower rods. Remove the feed tray. Slide the roll film onto the rods, leaving equal lengths of rod out of each end. Use the guide marks to position the roll of film. Load the rods on the laminator.
common temperature/speed setting for typical uses. Wait another 10 ~12 minutes before starting the lamination job. Film Thickness Temperature Speed 1.5 Mil (38 Micron) 110°C (230°F) 3 3 Mil (75 Micron) 115°C (239°F) 4 5 Mil (125 Micron) 125°C (266°F) 2 10 Mil (250 Micron) 150°C (302°F) 2 LAMINATING PROCEDURES 1. Release the handle from the locked position and insert the handle pin into the “MIN” notch to engage the rollers.
THREADING THE FILM Refer to threading diagram for one side lamination found on the machine’s right side panel. Do not mistake the reinforcing bar for the idler roller. 1. To thread the film through the “hot” rollers & “pull” rollers, please push the handle forward to release pressure on all the rollers. Insert the handle pin into the farthest notch to lock the handle in place. 2. Push the film through the rollers with a threading card. 3.
(3) COLD LAMINATION LOADING THE FILM Unpack the upper and lower supply rods. Install cold laminating film with liner on the upper rod by following an adapter---film----adapter sequence onto the rod and fit the adapters onto the paper core. Using the same installation sequence, install a Kraft paper roll of the same width as the top film onto the lower supply rod. Leave equal lengths of the rod out of each end.
LAMINATING PROCEDURES 1. Make sure the print is aligned and set properly onto the mounting board. 2. Release the handle from the locked position and insert the handle pin into the “MIN” notch to engage the rollers. The user can now start as the machine starts feeding in film. 3. Step on the foot pedal to feed the film in. Keep feeding film until wrinkles are evened out before feeding the print and board. For more information on how to optimize the use of the foot pedal, please see B. FOOT PEDAL OPERATION.
C. SAFETY SHIELD AND FEED TRAY SENSORS Both the safety shield and feed tray activate sensors that allow the bottom roller to feed film when they are properly installed. Removal or misalignment of either or both of these items will cause the LED light to turn on and stop the rollers from feeding even when rollers are engaged.
needed to be set for this application. Simply 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. e. For simultaneous mounting and cold laminating using cold films with liners, set the machine up for COLD LAMINATION. 2.
