Laminator Introduction - usi ARL 4000 Owner's Manual

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. We thank
you for selecting this machine and assure you of our continuing support.
First, Find a Work Area...
A separate, sturdy work station is required to house your USI laminator. Ample room is
necessary to access the laminator from all 4 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 heat shoes 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.
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, 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, heat shoes, 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.
