Tension Controls - usi ARL-PRO-2700 Owner's Manual

C/F Switch: is located on the Right Control Panel. When depressed it changes the display
readings from Fahrenheit to Centigrade.
Heat Mode Switch: is located at the top of the Right Control Panel. It changes the setting from
"dual" heat (top and bottom rollers heated) for encapsulating to "single" heat (only top roller
heated) for use with thermally activated foam board products. Dual heat should never be used
with any foam board products as the extra heat can cause damage to them.

2.4 Tension Controls

Film Tension Knobs: are located on the right end of the machine at the end of each supply
mandrel. Film tension can be tightened or loosened as necessary for smooth lamination with
your individual rolls of laminate. In general, only tighten the tension enough for smooth
lamination, excessively high tension can cause laminating problems and increase wear on the
machine. It is normal to need higher tension on a new roll of laminating film and lower tension as
the size of the roll decreases with use.
2.5 Roller Lift Control
Roller Lift Handle: is located on the right end of the machine. When received, the handle is not
installed and is packed separately. Your machine is shipped with the rollers in the "closed"
position, place the lift handle onto the lift shaft so that the handle is pointing downward and
secure with the supplied screw and wrench. Do not turn the lift handle until it is securely fastened
onto the lift shaft. Rollers should be in the "closed" (down) position for encapsulating and "open"
(up) when processing foam board products. Processing some foam board products with the
rollers in the "closed" position can cause damage to your substrate. This machine is not
designed to process foam board products in excess of ¼" thick. It may also be beneficial to
"open" the rollers to help facilitate cleaning them.
