DAPTORS
Fig. 5-2. Core Adaptors on the Shafts.
The core adaptors hold and lock the rolls of film
and release liner on the shafts to prevent side to
side shifting. Grippers on the supply shafts ensures
proper tension on the film. The supply shaft core
adaptors lock in place with a set screw. The release
liner take-up core adaptors are held in place by
friction.

Fig. 5-3. Roller Pressure Handle.
The roller pressure handle adjusts the amount of
roller pressure needed for various laminating and
mounting applications. Pull the handle out of a
position, rotate it to the desired pressure, and press
it into the slot. Three main function settings provided
are.
Release – Provides the widest opening between the
pressure rollers and takes pressure off the rollers.
This is used when installing new rolls of film. When
the machine is not in use, put the handle in this
position.
Mounting – Used when bonding to a rigid substrate
such as mounting boards. Thickness range is 1/32 to
3/16 in. (1 to 5 mm).
Laminating – Used to adhere materials in multiple
substrates. The two positions are low and high
pressure.
IMPORTANT: Use a pressure setting that is
appropriate for the material you are laminating or
mounting.
