3. Check for the film adhesive side "Poly - out" or "Poly – in."
One side of the film is coated with an adhesive. It can be checked:
•
Visually - the side coated with adhesive is not as glossy as the other side.
•
By placing the film on the edge of the laminating roll - the adhesive side of the film will stick.
•
According to the color stripe on a new film (red or blue).
Depending on the coated side of the film, the roll of film is put on the unwind shaft.
4. Positioning the roll of film on the unwinding shaft.
a. Adjust the thread bushing by turning the regulating nut so that the white stripe on the holder
runs along the edge of the sliding nut –See Section 5.2
b. Tighten the reel with the conical holders so that the film centered with the paper sheet in the
feeder. This distance should be measured from the sides.
5. Put a sheet of paper onto the beginning of the film.
In order to make it easier to insert the film, tape a sheet of paper onto the film and thread it through the
nip.
6. Inserting the film.
a. Insert the film around the guide roll, over the laminating roll according to the "FILM
INSERTING PLAN and its "Poly- out" or "Poly - in" illustration. Refer to the illustration
following this section.
b. Put the sheet through the gap between the laminating and pressure rolls so that paper will
be minimum 8 inches (200 mm) behind the contact surface of the rolls. ATTENTION! Follow
the safety rules for the Laminating and Pressure Roll Zone, Chapter 1.6.
7. Press the "PRESSURE UP" button.
The "PRESSURE UP" button can be pressed when a sheet of paper from the feeder and a sheet of
paper with film have gone between the rolls and you hold both sheets.
