GBC 3064WF Operation Manual

Method for Tacking New Film to Existing Film

(1)		The following describes a method for loading film
		whereby the existing film present on the heat
		rollers may be used in place of the threading card
		to draw the new film through the laminator. The
		adhesive of the existing film must be tacky or
		liquefied. Leading edges of the new film will be
(2)		overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film.
		The existing film and the new film will be pulled
(2)
		through the laminator together.
		CAUTION: Do not cut yourself
.......a PSA film or mount adhesive	A	CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the
Figure 27		rollers!
		1. Cut (1) remaining top film web between the
		idler bar and heat roller. Cut (2) the film web
		between the lower film supply and the idler
		bar (Fig. 27).
		2. Tilt the feed table down.
		3. Do not allow the adhesive side of the film to
		contact the heat or pull rollers. Liquefied or
		tacky adhesive deposited on heat rollers will
		require the rollers to be cleaned per the section
		tilted “MAINTENANCE “.
		4. Replace both the top and bottom rolls of film
		with new rolls. Ensure the adhesive side is
		facing out.
		5. Pull the film around the idler bars, with the
		exception of PSA mounting adhesives without
.......a PSA film or mount adhesive	B	a release liner.
		6. Tack the new film to the existing film on the
Figure 27		heat rollers. For PSA film, attach the release
		liner to the rewind tube
		7. Use the footswitch to advance the film into the
		heat roller nip.
		8. Observe the film being pulled through the
		laminator to assure that the remaining existing
		film and the new films are advancing
		concurrently. Any separation between the
		films will require stopping the motor
		immediately and the situation corrected.
		9. Press “STOP” (	) once the newly threaded
		film has completely exited the pull rollers.
