Slitting Film:
You always want to use film that is narrower than the
sheets being laminated, so sometimes it may be necessary
to slit the film. If the film is wider than the sheet being
laminated, start the threading process with sheets wider
than the film.
•
Load the film on the machine and web it up per
the above procedure. Refer to the Loading Film
and Threading section. NOTE: Use non-printed
sheets that are wider than the film.
•
After the machine has been webbed up, set the
Side Slitter to a width that is narrower than the
sheets to be laminated.
•
Engage the Side Slitter by pushing down the
lever. (Figure 16).
•
Set the Motor Speed to 1 and start feeding sheets
into the laminator.
•
Grasp the piece of film that is to be separated
from the web and snap it right at the Heat Roller.
•
Guide the slit film up to the Rewinder Tube and
secure it to the Tube with a piece of tape.
(Figure 17).
•
Adjust the rewind tension so that there is just
enough tension for the Rewinder Tube to rotate.
NOTE: Do not overly tension the Rewinder as
this will make removal of the excess film from
the tube difficult.
