Operator’s Manual Important Safety Information The JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD performs mounting and laminating applications by using two rollers to apply uniform pressure to mounting adhesives and overlaminating fi lms. The point where the rollers touch these materials is called the “Nip”. This area creates a potential pinch hazard for fi...
If any malfunction occurs, stop using the machine immediately and contact the Drytac Technical Services department. The JM63 Fuzion XD has electric eyes or photocells installed in front of the Nip area for safety. When interrupted, they will stop the rollers immediately, a photocell status LED on the Control Panel will light up, and a buzzer will sound as a warning to indicate that an object is breaking the photocell circuit.
“tripped”, note it on the receiving paperwork. Report any damage to the shipping company immediately and contact the Drytac Customer Service department if replacement parts are needed. If there is no apparent damage, proceed with unpacking.

For best results, set the pressure to 20% or 40%. Drytac’s unique lift mechanism design allows for evenly controlled pressure over the entire contact area. To prevent excessive pressure, premature failure of the machine, or damage to materials during processing, maximum spring compression is restricted.
Paper travel greater than 0.12” (3mm) per 16’ (5m) of paper (within the 20-60% pressure range) requires adjustment in order to correct the deviance. Contact the Drytac Technical Services department for assistance before attempting to make any adjustments.
Operator’s Manual Setup Procedures Adjusting Supply and Take-up Shaft Tensions The JM63 Fuzion XD is equipped with a Take-up Shaft on the front of the machine that winds up the release liner from the roll of adhesive or laminate during processing. Both the Take-up Shaft and Supply Shafts are equipped with Brakes, which are important to adjust so that there is even tension on the adhesive or laminate during processing.

Operator’s Manual Roller Alignment Instructions Prior to shipment, the JM63 Fuzion XD is carefully inspected. Inspection includes making sure the roller alignment is calibrated and tested for paper travel at 20-60% pressure. Paper deviation of less than 0.12” (3mm) for 20’ (6m) of travel (maximum standard) is likely to increase above 60% pressure due to roller defl...
