4. SET LAMINATION FILM/MANUAL MODE (cont’d)
11. Using an 11” long (by 8.5” wide) threading card (DryLam part number 964202), push both sheets of film
between the rollers (and into the ‘nip’). Holding the card level continue to push both sheets of film all the way
through the machine. There should only be 1” of threading card exposed at the fronts of the rollers at this
time.
If the threading card will not
pass a point about 4” into the
machine it is likely being
stopped by the film guides on the Cutter Unit.
The threading card MUST pass yet another
4”, or so, beyond that point before the
lamination handle is lowered and before the
motors are run.
HINTS FOR EASIER THREADING:
1) Loosen the tension controllers.
2) Turn the film rolls to add “slack” to the film web.
3) “Aim” the threading card either up, or down, to allow it to enter the full 11” length. This is extremely
important as machine damage may otherwise result if loose film were to “wrap” up or tear off inside the
machine, or if the threading card were to be jammed up against interior components of the machine.
12. Do
NOT lower the Lamination handle at this time.
