Loading Film
Step 1:
The laminator should be preheated before loading laminating film. To heat the
machine
see page 6 “Setting Roller Temperature”.
Step 2:
When the laminator is heating, the rollers should be turning to heat the rubber
rollers evenly. Therefore, turn the drive switch to the forward position and
rotate the speed control knob until the rollers are moving slowly. Heat
approximately 15 minutes.
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force to the ends of the mandrel (i.e. with a
hammer). Force will cause damage. Film rolls must be centered on supply
mandrels. If rolls are not aligned, hot adhesive will be deposited on the heated
rubber rollers, necessitating a cleaning operation.
3” Core Poly out Film
Choose your laminating film. For encapsulating, both types of film should be of
the same size, type and thickness. Take the bottom supply mandrel and insert it
into the roll of film. Place the lower mandrel on the laminator. Take the top
supply mandrel and insert it into the desired roll of film and place it on the
laminator as illustrated above. Follow the same steps to load the top supply
mandrel.
NOTE: When loading your laminating film, check for film splices. These rolls will
be clearly marked. Splices are not common but are unavoidable. If you find a
splice, place that film roll on the top position so the splice can be monitored
carefully. When the splice is ready to come through the laminator, turn the
drive off, and rotate the roll of film by hand so the film is very loose. Turn the
drive switch again and allow the splice to run through. If necessary, keep
turning the roll of film to keep it slack until the splice is out.
Step 3:
Thread the top roll of film under the idler roller. Pull the film down so that the
film’s lead edge is below the lower roller. Next thread the bottom roll of film
under the lower idler bar pulling film upward until it is even with the top roller
shoe and parallel side to side with the top roll of film. “Tack” it to the top film
edge, this creates a film “Web”.
NOTE: Use caution when threading film around rollers.
Step 4:
Loosen tension on both rolls of laminating film. Turn on the “Drive” switch and
using the threading board – push the film web into the laminating rolls. This
process will push the web into the pull rolls and exit. Take extra care to ensure
that the film exits between the rear rollers. Your laminator is now loaded.
Remove the threading board and save for your next use.
NOTE: Slowly run the laminator while threading to help maintain control.
NOTE: Create your own threading board from a piece of poster
