Mandrels
!!!Caution: Use Extreme Care When Handling The Mandrels
Located in the center of the mandrel is the mandrel clip, it is very sharp!!!
Mandrels:
The 3” mandrels are designed to be used with film that is wrapped adhesive out
The 1” mandrels are designed to be used with film that is wrapped adhesive in.
- If you are using film with the adhesive wrapped opposite you must either use the top mandrel on
the bottom and the bottom on the top or if you are using 3” mandrels you may disassemble and flip
the center core so that the core clip faces the other direction.
-
If you desire to use film that is supplied with a 1” core or a 2.25” core optional mandrels are
available. Please contact your dealer regarding this.
The supplied mandrels are marked on the end T for the Top Mandrel B for the Bottom. In the center of
the mandrel is a clip that holds the film core to the mandrel
!!!Be very careful as this mandrel clip may cut!!!
(This is required to hold the film supply roll tightly; the mandrels are designed to work in only one
direction so that film removal will be simplified.
Installation:
The mandrels are removable and simply slip into the mandrel towers the handle must be facing the right
side of the machine. It may take two people to lift the mandrel onto the laminator once it has a roll of
film on it, it can be quite heavy.
It is a good idea to practice installing the mandrel onto the machine without any film on it so that the
process is understood.
You will find that both right and left sides of the mandrel are “keyed” (the mandrel end pieces must be
turned the correct direction in order for it to drop into place into the towers). Use care, when installing
the mandrel, not to pinch fingers. It is also necessary to allow the right side of the mandrel to drop into
place before the left side.
