Slitter Installation
Disconnect the laminator from the electrical supply before proceeding
1. Remove old towers (if applicable).
2. Assemble the slitter assembly in the order and direction shown on the previous page do not install
the razor knifes at this time.
3. Install the shaft collar and the expansion spring (locate the expansion spring of spring washer
between the tower and shaft collar) on the left side of the assembly (not shown).
4. Being careful not to scratch the side frame, lower the slitter assembly into position.
5. Install the supplied bolts taking note of the bolt with the tapered seat. The bolt with the tapered seat
is installed in the right tower in the front hole. Tighten this bolt first then proceed to tighten the
remaining three bolts securely. It may take another person to hold this assembly during
installation.
6. While pulling the slitter shaft to the right compress the expansion spring fully against the left tower
with the shaft collar, tighten securely. This may be facilitated by pushing a slitter block up against
the shaft collar with a nearly compressed spring and using a screwdriver, for leverage, push the
shaft collar against the spring
7. There are three positions for the slitter bar moving the actuating bar changes these; to install the
slitter blades bring the actuating bar back against the upper idler bar. The slitters may now be
installed from the back of the machine.
* Be Careful Not To Cut The Rollers While Changing Blades *
If the rear rollers are cut, it may affect the finish on the film.
8. Make sure that all the components of this assembly are tight and secure.
9. With the blade angle adjustment screw tightened, turn the blade holder knurled barrel or shaft
counterclockwise Using extreme care, install the razor knife blades into the blade holders then
carefully tighten the knurled knob.
!!!DO NOT EVER ALLOW ANY SHARP OBJECT TO GET EVEN CLOSE TO THE
LAMINATING ROLLERS WHEN CHANGING BLADES OR CUTTING FILM NEAR THE
FRONT ROLLERS SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE MACHINE!!!
10. Lower the knife assemblies down until they are in the middle position (not trimming) the slitters
should stay in this position at all times except when trimming and changing blades the blades
should be removed when not in use.
11. Adjust the blade angle. The angle should be set so that the edge of the knife blade just planes the
film. Care should be used when adjusting this angle as it greatly affects the finished results. To
little of an angle will result in an excessive edge curl and too much of an angle will result in erratic
cutting.
