PROBLEM: Film gets wrapped around the pull rollers.
SOLUTION: While threading a laminator when the shoes are cold, the loose ends of
the unlaminated web are particularly susceptible to “wrap-around” on the rear rollers.
To minimize this possibility, pull the threading card after it emerges from the pull rollers
until the film clears the exit table. Open the rollers. Let the threading card hang from
the back of the machine until the machine is warmed up; then close the rollers and run
some film until a laminated web has started to emerge from the pull rollers Stop the web
and trim the film from the back of the unit.
If “wrap-around” does occur while the laminator is cold, you can easily correct it by
reversing the direction of the rubber rolls, permitting the laminator to release the film
from the rolls.
PROBLEM: Film wraps around the laminating rollers while the machine is hot.
SOLUTION: Leave the heat on so that the adhesive does not harden, and follow the
following steps.
WARNING: Be very careful not to touch the heat shoes when the machine is hot.
MISE EN GARDE: Ne pas toucher les sabots chauffants lorsque la machine est
chaude.
ADVERTENCIA: No toque las zapatas calefactoras cuando la máquina está
caliente.
1. Remove the feed tray.
2. Cut the film on the top and bottom just in front of the idler bars.
3. Loosen the film from the heat shoes and grip the two loose ends, holding them
together.
4. Turn the drive switch to the reverse position.
5. Turn on the drive at a very low speed and allow the laminator to back out the film
that is wrapped around the rolls. Pull the film off the roller.
WARNING: Keeping the machine in reverse may cause a reverse
wrap-around if
the film is not getting pulled off the roller. You may need to pull on the film with a
lot of force while stopping and starting the drive.
MISE EN GARDE: Si l’on appuie trop longtemps sur l’interrupteur de marche
arriére, le film risque de s’enrouler dans l’autre sens. Appuyer par á-coups sur
l’interrupteur et vérifier le résultat chaque fois.
ADVERTENCIA: Apretar mucho tiempo el interruptor de marcha atrás puede
causar bobinado inverso. Apriételo brevemente, luego suéltelo y observe el
resultado. Apriételo nuevamente si se requiere más marcha atrás. Pare si nota
que el plástico hala hacia atrás, volviendo sobre los rodillos.
WARNING: Do not try to cut the plastic off the roller with a knife or other sharp
instrument. You will end up cutting the rubber rollers and turn an inconvenience
into a major repair bill not covered by warranty.
