Important points to remember, Helpful hints

Operations Manual	Polaris II

(22)After the second sheet passes through the nip, the automatic feed table will feed the nextsheet on the stack. As the secondsheet travels through the nip, it passes a paper sensor. When the paper passes the sensor, it allows the nextsheet to be laminated to enter the laminator. This feature allows the feeder to automatically set an overlap.

(23)After a web of film and paper are running through the laminator, turn the knife on by pressing Cutter ON/ OFF.

(24)At this time adjustments can be made such as speed, film tension, air pressures and decurl.

CAUTION: Anything obstructing the path of the film exiting the rear of the laminator may cause a film jam (wrap-up).

INFORMATION: The roll guard is to be closed over the heat roller when running this machine.

(25)Before the last laminated item has completely cleared the nip rollers, press Stop. This prevents adhesive from getting on the rolls.

(26)Turn the laminator off by pushing On/Off to the “O” position.

achieve the desired results. Using the maximum amount will yield unwanted results after close inspection. You may see stretching, waves in the laminate, distortion of the image and/or curling.

6.3 Important points to remember

CAUTION: Do not press RUN until READY has illuminated.

CAUTION: To cut film or web, only use an enclosed blade around the laminator. DO NOT cut directly on the teflon or nip rollers.

CAUTION: Do not force items into the laminator. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator is probably too thick to laminate.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal objects such as staples, paper clips, or glitter as they may damage the heat rollers.

INFORMATION: You do not need to un-web the laminator after turning power off except to clean the rollers. Refer to Section 7.2 Cleaning the Rollers.

6.2 Helpful hints

Good consistent lamination is a result of combining proper heat, speed, tension, and dwell time. Dwell time is the amount of time the material to be laminated is compressed between the heat rollers. The longer the dwell time, the more the adhesive will liquify. The result is a better bond.

If you are ever unsure that your laminator is set at the proper setting, run a test piece (scrap) of the same or similar material through the laminator.

Always use the minimum brake tension necessary to

WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives marked “FLAMMABLE”

CAUTION: Avoid direct contact with the heat rollers when changing the supply roll after the laminator has been running.

CAUTION: Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will cause a dwell line (heat line) on the laminated item.

INFORMATION: Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once it has entered the nip of the heat rollers.
