Operation Manual

FILM TENSION

Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item. The film should be taut. A properly adjusted roll of film should not require excessive force to turn by hand.

Film tension should be enough to introduce a minor amount of drag as the film unrolls. Insufficient tension causes wrinkles, while too much tension causes stretching (necking). Uneven tension between the top and bottom rolls creates curl. Too much upper tension creates upward curl.

Heat

The “READY” indicator may extinguish if the speed is set too fast for the material being laminated. Either lower the speed setting or press STOP ( ) and wait until the “READY” indicator illuminates. Operation of the laminator for more than thirty minutes at a time may necessitate a lower speed setting. It is recommended that, during periods of long runs, the items being laminated are alternated between thick and thin. Do not combine thick and thin items at the same time, as this will result in a poor edge seal around the thinner material. If you are unsure that the laminator is set at the proper speed for the item to be laminated, run a test piece (scrap) of the same or similar material through the Laminator. This procedure is recommended because rotating the heat roller prior to lamination will more evenly distribute the heat.

Make speed adjustments if necessary.
