Operation Manual
Method for Tacking New Film to Existing Film
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 overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film. The existing film and the new film will be pulled through the laminator together.
CAUTION: Do not cut yourself
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the 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 (FIGURE 27).
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut any of the rollers!
2.Remove the feed table.
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.
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 release liner.
6.Tack the new film to the existing film on the 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.
