6. Operating cautions
6.1 The surface of the hot steel roll of the machine should be kept clean and
frequently wiped in alcohol of high purity, thus eliminating the effect on the
lamination.
6.2 When cleaning the machine, never wipe this machine with corrosive liquid to
avoid damaging the machine body. Use soft dry cloth to wipe the machine.
6.3 After the lamination, cool the surface of the steel roll before
stopping the machine, and lift the front steel roll and the rear rubber roll to avoid
the deformation of the rubber roll surface.
6.4 Never use this machine for other purposes than film overlay. Otherwise, it
may cause accidents or damage to the machine.
6.5The pressure setting value of the pressure gauge of the laminating roller should
not be over 0.6MPa;
6.6When the machine is under 2m / min, the normal working speed should be

SF-540A 202205
13
higher than 2m / min;
6.7When heating, please ensure that the machine is running at a low speed, so as
to ensure that the temperature of the hot roll is uniform;
6.8When the actual temperature reaches the set temperature, please do not rush to
wear the film. Wait about 10 minutes before wearing the film, because there is a
temperature shock.
6.9After laminating, please lower the laminating roller to avoid the deformation
of COTS caused by long-term closure;
6.10High temperature lubricating oil should be applied at intervals between
temperature sensor and steel roller.
6.11 the oil window of negative pressure vacuum pump should be observed
regularly. When the oil level drops, vacuum oil should be added; (as shown in the
figure)
6.12This machine is equipped with the function of automatic stop for paper
shortage. The detection sensor is as shown in the following figure. If there is a
stop during the paper feeding process, please check whether there is no paper here
first;
