- Page 21 5. Working with laminator 5.1 Selecting suitable foils The manufacturer and the distributor recommend using foils in rolls with internal diameter of 75 mm and with width depending on the width of the processed (laminated) material. When selecting the foil, it is necessary to comply with the recommendations of the distributor.

- Page 23 Perform the installation of the selected foil when the heating is turned off (the HEATING & READY button, control panel), both LEDs (3, 4) are turned off and the equipment is cooled and the foil roll is inserted. Insert sufficiently large format of paper along with the end of the lamination foil taped onto it into the area between the first pair of rollers (A, B).
- Page 24 5.3 Setting the stretch of the winding off of the foil Setting the stretch (pull) on the winding foil may be set using the regulation nut (Figure 9-D). Any unevenness on the foil, especially at the point of contact of the foil with the lamination roller may be removed by gradual tightening of the spring of the friction brake (Figure 9-C).
- Page 25 5.6 Setting the rate of equalization for curling The already laminated sheet moves between both pairs of rollers over additional roller and equalizing tilting bar, serving to equalize the paper after lamination. (If paper up to 200 g/m² was laminated without this bar, curling would occur) of the resulting product when the foil is cooled down.

- Page 27 Pressure of the rollers after the operation – work shift – is completed During the lamination, both couples of the rollers are tightened. After you finish working, release the pressure on the front rollers entirely – you will safe the surface of the silicon cover of the rollers.
- Page 28 5.10 Setting the pressure on back (pull-out) rollers Using the cam (A), you may set the pressure on the back rollers. The back roller has 3 positions: 1. Position (upper) – in the upper position, there is a gap between the rollers of approx. 4 mm for handling the paper during installation.
- Page 29 5.11 Perforation of the edges The edges of the foil may be perforated, to make the separation of the individual sheets out of the equipment easier. The perforation tooth wheel (2) runs on the foil roll approximately 5 mm from the edge of the foil. The strength of the perforation may be set by adding weights (1) to the arm of the perforator.
- Page 30 6. OPERATION OF THE LAMINATOR 6.1 Lamination The lamination may start only after the foil is installed, the pressure of the winding is set, the temperature and the speed are set and the tilting over equalizing roller (Figure 10-D) is secured in the working position by the arrest lever (Figure 10-C).
- Page 31 After finding the correct combination for speed and temperature of lamination, these values may be stored in short-term memory by pressing the "AUTO CONTROL" button (Figure 7-15). Operation in this mode is signaled by the LED (Figure 7-16). The automatic operation mode may be terminated by repeated pressing of the "AUTO CONTROL"...
- Page 32 6.4 Defects during lamination The film is not pure after lamination – the most frequent defect with many possible causes: Probably low temperature or high temperature of lamination. Set the temperature on the heated rollers. Reducing the speed of motion usually has the same effect. The paper used does not have even surface –...
- Page 33 MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: At temperatures above 130°C, certain types of foil are melted when the roller is not running. High pressure of the front rollers results in overload of the engine. When permanent overload of the engine occurs, the safety circuits may stop the equipment immediately. A warning "MOTOR SYSTEM OVERFLOW"...
