Laminator Introduction - usi ARL-PRO-2700 Owner's Manual

1. Laminator Introduction...

USI Roll Laminators are uniquely designed and engineered to be user friendly, reliable and
virtually trouble free and provide a quality lamination with a minimum level of user skill and
machine control. USI's modular construction makes them easy to maintain and repair. All
equipment controls are basic in design and function, and positioned for easy access. This
laminator has been designed expressly to use USI and ProMount supplies. When used with
these materials, you are able to encapsulate, mount, and mount and laminate. This machine has
not been tested with any other materials and is not recommended for use with supplies other than
USI and ProMount. We thank you for selecting this machine and assure you of our continuing
support!
1.1 First, Find a Work Area...
A sturdy work station is required to house your USI laminator. Picking an area that is well lit,
clean and dust free will help ensure the highest quality output. Ample room is necessary to
access the laminator from all four sides. If the laminator is back against a wall, the laminating film
may back up and jam the machine. WARNING: Do Not place the laminator where the heaters
will be in the direct path of a room cooling fan, air conditioner or similar forced draft.
Tools necessary to set up your laminator include cutting pliers and adhesive tape. For future
maintenance and repairs, an assortment of metric Allen key wrenches, a slotted screw driver and
a Phillips screw driver are necessary.
1.2 Unpacking Your Laminator...
Your laminator comes packed in one carton. It contains (1) laminator, (1) heat guard, (1) top
supply mandrel, (1) bottom supply mandrel, (1) threading board, (1) feed table with guide, (1) set
of keys, (1) roller lift handle, and this Owners Manual.
Upon receipt of your laminator, inspect the carton, the machine and all other contents of the
carton for shipping damage. Damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the
delivering carrier and USI Customer Service.
Using a minimum of two people, carefully lift the laminator from the carton by grasping the ends
of the machine and lifting. Do Not lift the laminator by the Upper Idler Roller or Supply Mandrels.
These are not weight bearing parts and lifting the laminator by these parts can cause damage to
the machine and possible personal injury.
For shipping purposes, white plastic tie straps are used to hold the power cord and accessories in
place. These straps need to be carefully cut and removed prior to set up. Use care to ensure
that you do not damage any machine wiring while cutting straps.
