Important Safety Information
Operator’s Manual
Before operating the JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD for the first time, read and understand the following safety-related
information. Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the equipment
and materials being used.
Safety Symbols
Danger and/or warning symbols indicate imminently and/or potentially hazardous situations that, if not avoided, may
result in serious injury or death.

Important Safety Information
Operator’s Manual
The JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD performs mounting and laminating applications by using two
rollers to apply uniform pressure to mounting adhesives and overlaminating films. The point where
the rollers touch these materials is called the “Nip”. This area creates a potential pinch hazard for
fingers or other objects. TO AVOID INJURY, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE
NIP AREA.
When using a large supply roll, be aware that a pinch hazard may exist between the top roller and
the supply shaft. When working from the rear of the machine, be aware of the pinch point (Nip) of
the contacting rollers and exercise extreme caution to avoid injury.
Exercise caution when lifting rolls of adhesive or laminate due to their weight. Obtain assistance to
avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment and materials.
No persons under the age of 16 should be allowed to operate the equipment.
DO NOT operate the equipment while under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs or any other substance that
could impair your judgment or reaction time.
Remove any jewelry such as rings, bracelets and necklaces prior to operating the equipment. Keep loose clothing,
neckties, artificial fingernails, long hair, and anything else that might easily be drawn into the rollers away from the
machine.
Always work at a slow speed until you become familiar with the equipment.
Power “Off” the machine when loading rolls of adhesive or laminate, cleaning the rollers, or performing other activities
that require close proximity of fingers to the Nip area. Doing so will prevent the machine’s rollers from inadvertently
turning. During machine operation, keep fingers away from the Nip area.
Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply before removing any panels for
service.

Important Safety Information
Operator’s Manual
Safety Features
The following safety features are designed to offer a reasonable measure of protection against injury while maintaining
an operator-friendly machine. Please do not attempt to disable or alter their functionality in any way. Any modifications
will void the warranty and may pose a serious risk to the operator. If any malfunction occurs, stop using the
machine immediately and contact the Drytac Technical Services department.
The JM63 Fuzion XD has electric eyes or photocells installed in front of the Nip area for safety. When interrupted,
they will stop the rollers immediately, a photocell status LED on the Control Panel will light up, and a buzzer will sound
as a warning to indicate that an object is breaking the photocell circuit. Be particularly cautious when operating the
equipment with the Foot Pedal as the rollers WILL NOT STOP when the photocells are interrupted. An audible alarm
will sound, but the rollers will continue to turn at a reduced speed.
Prior to operating the equipment, always check that the photocells and buzzer are working properly. Use a piece of
cardboard to block the photocells to confirm that the alarm sounds and the rollers stop.
The JM63 Fuzion XD is also equipped with two red Emergency Stop Buttons, located on the top of both the left and
right end cases. The Emergency Stop Buttons will stop the machine immediately, shutting off power to the Control
Panel. The machine can also be stopped by lifting your foot off the Foot Pedal, turning the Speed Control Knob to zero
(0), turning off the Power Button on the Control Panel, or turning off the main Power Switch on the back of the left
end case. If there is a “No Power” condition, check to see if the Emergency Stop Buttons are depressed before further
troubleshooting.

Setup Procedures
Operator’s Manual
Installation and Training Service
Installation and training is available for the JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD. This service ensures that the machine is set
up properly and the individual operating it is trained on the various applications the machine can perform. If you have
operational questions, contact the dealer you purchased the machine from or the Drytac Technical Services department
for installation/training details or to schedule this service.
Unpacking and Installation
Upon receipt of your new JM63 Fuzion XD, inspect the shipping crate carefully for signs of physical damage or
mishandling. Before signing for the shipment, there are two rough handling indicators that should be inspected. If
either of these devices is “tripped”, note it on the receiving paperwork. Report any damage to the shipping company
immediately and contact the Drytac Customer Service department if replacement parts are needed. If there is no
apparent damage, proceed with unpacking.
It is recommended that two people unpack the equipment to avoid personal injury or damage
to the equipment. Handle with care. Follow the steps described in the uncrating instructions
(which are attached to the shipping crate) to safely remove the equipment from its packaging. If
the uncrating instructions are missing, contact the Drytac Technical Services department before
attempting to unpack or install the equipment.
The JM63 Fuzion XD is fully assembled on a stand for easy positioning. When moving the
machine, there should be one person on either side to help guide it. To eliminate the possibility
of it tipping over onto either person, push the machine from the ends only. Do not push the
machine from the front or back.
Select a clean, well-lighted work area that allows access to both the front and back of the machine. To ensure adequate
accessibility and safety, position the machine so that there is at least 3’ (0.9m) of space from the front and back beyond
the largest piece of material to be used.
For example, if using a 4’ x 8’ (1.2m x 2.4m) foam board, a minimum of 11’ (3.4m) of space in front and 11’ (3.4m) of
space in back of the machine would be needed. Always consider this rule prior to starting an application.
Power Supply
The JM63 Fuzion XD can operate on either a 110 or 220 volt power supply. Set the proper voltage BEFORE plugging
the machine in for the first time. On the back of the left end case, there is a switch under a clear plastic cover that
can be adjusted to the specific voltage required. If you have questions regarding the machine’s electrical requirements,
contact a qualified electrician prior to powering “On” the machine. Confirm that the voltage supplied at the outlet
corresponds with the voltage marked on the plate attached to the machine. Do not rely on the power cord or outlet
configuration to determine the correct power supply voltage. It takes 10-15 minutes (at 220 volts) and 30-40 minutes
(at 110 volts) for the top roller to reach approximately 110°F (43°C). After processing is completed each day, turn the
main Power Switch located on the back of the left end case near the power cord entry to the “Off” position.

Parts Identification
On/Off Switch: A rocker switch located on the back of the left end case of the machine near the power cord entry.
Used to power the machine on and off. The switch should be in the “Off” position when loading/unloading adhesive or
laminate, cleaning the rollers, or performing other activities that require close proximity of your fingers to the Nip area.
The switch should also be turned to the “Off” position after processing is completed each day.
