This is the most commonly performed process.
1. Adjust the machine settings as shown in process
chart 3-6 and remove the infeed table. Be sure that,
while heating the machine, the rolls are together
and turning.
2. Install laminating film on the upper and lower
unwinds.
3. Web up the upper laminate by wrapping it around
the upper film idler and laying it over the upper
main roll. Do not drape too much film. Too much
can fold over and leave a line of glue on the roll,
thereby affecting image quality.
CAUTION
4. Web up the lower film by wrapping it around the
lower film idler and bringing it up to the upper
main roll. Tack it to the upper laminating film.
5. Insert a leader board into the nip and lower the
upper main roll. Press the footswitch. Once the
leader board is through the nip release the foot-
switch. Lower the roll 1/2 a turn past the initial
contact of the upper laminating roll with the lower.
6. Press the footswitch until the leader board is
through the pull rolls and lower the upper pull roll.
Reinstall the infeed table.
7. Encapsulate the image.
##-
It is very important that the F-36 PRO Laminator is
shut down in proper manner. If not, the laminating rolls
can be damaged or destroyed.
CAUTION
1. Turn off the main power to the machine.
2. Raise the main laminating roll at least one inch.
3. Put the output roll into the upright position.
CAUTION
Make sure that the adhesive side of the laminate
is away from the roll to prevent an extensive
clean up job.
Failure to follow this procedure can result in
damage to the rolls.
The laminating and output rolls must always be
in the up position when the machine is not in use.
