2. Locate Allen Key and insert into Allen head screw on the right side of the mandrel. Turn the
screw to adjust the tension (clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease) until the
film passes over the roller without wrinkles and the web between the laminating and pull
rollers is tight.
Note: This adjustment requires only a few degrees of turn. If the screw is turned too far
clockwise, you may stall the drive motor.
4. Repeat for Bottom Supply Mandrel.
5. If you are not ready to laminate, turn the Motor switch off and Heat Switches off.
LAMINATING
1. Be sure the heaters have been turned on and are at the proper temperature. Be sure the film
has been properly threaded.
Caution:
Do not allow the temperature to exceed 300°F as thi s could cause the silicone
coating to separate from the roller core on the heated rollers and will void your
warranty.
2. Adjust the Paper Guide on the Feed Table so that the right edge of the item will enter the
laminator at the desired position.
3. Press the Motor switch to the ON position. The film will begin moving through the laminator.
4. After clear laminating film exits the Pull Rollers at the rear of the machine you may slide the
first item to be laminated into the laminator with the right edge along the Paper Guide.
Note: You may want to run a test lamination first as any item that passes
between the rollers will be laminated and cannot be recovered until it exits
the rear of the laminator.
5. Additional items may be fed in sequence, keeping enough distance between sheets for
trimming.
6. After the last item has exited the Pull Rollers, turn the Motor switch off.
7. Use the Zippy Cutter to cut across the film to remove the laminated items from the unit.
