Installation Selecting Area Select an area that has a smooth, level surface for the laminator to set on, this will allow for easier maneuverability of the machine if it requires moving later on. The area should be large enough to allow an operator ample room to properly handle your largest product on the infeed and outfeed sides of the laminator.

The cutout in the control panel is to hold your Microsoft Zune media player. The plug to connect your media player to the speaker system in the Compadre is in the upper left of the cutout as shown above. Make sure your Zune is not locked then align the headphone jack on the media player with the plug on the Compadre.
Your Compadre came with a Zune media player and a disc with 5 videos on it. The videos need to be copied into your “My documents/My videos” before installing the software.

Operation Wrinkles in Product 1. Check the adhesive stock for wrinkles while operating. If wrinkles exist, this is a manufacturing material defect, and must be cut out of the roll. A laminator will not correct material defects. 2. String the web straight and square between the unwind and the windup shafts. If it is not straight and square, the tension will not be even across the web and will cause wrinkling.

Maintenance Maintenance As a result of years of experience, refined engineering and construction techniques, very little time need be lost to maintenance. However, regular maintenance will keep your laminator operating at its optimum level. Removing the enclosure covers to work on machine exposes person to electrocution and moving parts hazard.
Maintenance Roller open and close rate The rollers must open and close evenly to prevent excessive wear on the cylinders and bearings. This rate is set at the factory, but can be adjusted in the field. Follow the procedure below to adjust either the pull rolls or nip rolls.
Warranty Warranty and Conditions AGL warrants all models of the laminator’s product line manufactured to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year with the exception of operator caused damage, or surface abrasions to the laminating rolls or other obvious caused damage.
