(11) HEAT ROLLER SAFETY SHIELD: Reduces
entanglement, entrapment and inadvertent contact with
the heat rollers. See Figure 5.1.7.
INFORMATION: The Heat Roller Safety Shield is
designed to cover the heat roller while machine is
running.
To move the main roller safety shield, simply tilt up. The
laminator will stop.
(12) HEAT ROLLER: Teflon coated steel tube. Used
to heat the laminating film and compress the film to the
items being laminated. Heat is provided by 3 internal
infrared elements. See Figure 5.1.7.

HEAT ROLLER
WARNING: Avoid contact with the heat roller.
Direct contact with the heat roller can burn you.
(13) PULL ROLLERS: The bottom pull roller, located
in the middle of the laminator, is motor driven. When
Rollers are in the down position, they simultaneously pull
the film and improve the quality of the laminated item.
See Figure 5.1.8.
(14) FILM TENSION IDLER ROLLER: Located
to the rear and next to the Teflon Heated Roller, it directs
the film around to the Teflon Roller and has a brake to
apply film tension to eliminate film wrinkles. See Figure
5.1.8.
(15) DECURLING BAR: The decurling bar is located
in the middle of the machine, just past the main rolls. The
decurling bar can be adjusted with the decurling bar
adjustment knob to ensure a flat output.
(16) KNIFE ASSEMBLY: The knife assembly is located
in the back of the machine. The knife automatically cuts
and separates the sheets as they are run through the
machine. See Figure 5.1.8.
(17) KNIFE SEPARATOR SAFETY SHIELD:
Reduces entanglement, entrapment and inadvertent
contact with the separator knife.
To raise the knife separator safety shield, gently lift. Once
the safety latch has been retracted, power to the motor is
removed. See Figure 5.1.8.
To close the safety shield, gently lower the shield until it
is in it’s closed position. The motor will revert to its
condition prior to the safety shield being raised.
INFORMATION: The laminator will operate only
when the knife separator, pull roll, decurling bar, film
tension idler bar and feeder shields are in their closed
position and the safety interlock latch is properly
engaged. Power to the motor is removed when any
safety shield is in the open position.
