Shiny Side
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force to the ends of the
mandrel (i.e. with a hammer). Force will cause damage.
Film rolls must be centered on supply mandrels. If rolls are
not aligned, hot adhesive will be deposited on the heat shoes
and rubber rollers, necessitating a cleaning operation.
Take the bottom supply mandrel and insert it into the roll of
film until the "Gripper Dog'' meets the film's cardboard core.
Rotate the mandrel in the opposite direction from which the
Gripper Dog points. As you rotate, apply pressure to force the
mandrel into the roll of film and center it on the mandrel. See
Diagram above. Place the lower mandrel on the laminator.
Take the top supply mandrel and insert it into the desired roll
of film and place it on the laminator as illustrated above. Fol-
low the same steps to load the top supply mandrel. See
threading diagrams on page 10.
FILM SPLICES
NOTE: When loading your laminating film, check for film
splices. These rolls will be clearly marked. Splices are not
common but are unavoidable. If you find a splice, place that
film roll on the top position so the splice can be monitored
carefully. When the splice is ready to come through the lami-
nator, turn the drive off, and rotate the roll of film by hand so
the film is very loose. Turn on the drive switch again and
allow the splice to run through. If necessary, keep turning the
roll of film to keep it slack until the splice is out.
