Table Latch are properly installed.
E. FEED TABLE LATCH: (figure 3a)
Used to lock the Feed Table into position and activate an interlock
switch. The latch is located on the right underside of the Feed
Table. The Feed Table can be removed by retracting the latch and
lifting the table upward and away from the laminator. Make sure the
feed table latch is properly locked.
F. FEED TABLE GUIDE: (figure 3a)
The Feed Table Guide aligns items to be laminated and is used to
ensure that longer items are fed into the laminator straight. The
Feed Guide may also be used to feed smaller items side by side.
Position the feed guide toward the centre of the Feed Table and
place the items to be laminated against each side of the Feed
Guide as they are being introduced into the laminator. To position
the adjustable guide, lift the guide and slide it to the desired
position.
G. HEAT SHOES: (figure 3b)
Teflon coated heat shoes melt the adhesive on the laminating film
before the nip rollers compress it.
H. IDLER BARS: (figure 3b)
The Idler Bars, located near each supply roll, are used to direct the
film to the heat shoes. The lower Idler Bar is attached to the Feed
Table to facilitate easy film loading.
