Slitter Operation
!!!Use care while using the slitters, as they are sharp!!!
Never load film on the laminator with the slitters in the down or trim position
Always use sharp blades for slitting operations this will increase the quality of the lamination and
prevent damage to the rear rollers due to blade binding and breakage
Do not use the slitters to cut materials thicker than 3/64”(approximately .045” Or the thickness of two
layers of 10 mil and 2 pieces of card stock)
KEEP HANDS AWAY FORM SLITTERS AT ALL TIMES
Adjustment
1. Align the feed guides on the feed table to the desired location in relation to the film path. Feed a
sample piece of paper into the film path.
2. Stop the film advance when the paper is between the front and rear rollers.
3. Turn the adjustment knob until the slitter block and the adjustment block are separated by about
3/8”.
4. Move the slitter blades into the approximate location desired then tighten the knurled knob that
locks the adjustment block.
5. Using the actuating arm lower the slitter assembly into the film path.
6. For a more precise adjustment the fine adjustment may now be made by turning the knurled
adjustment knob while the film is slowly advancing until the desired edge trim is achieved.
*In general it takes about four complete turns to move the slitter holder 1/8”
Do not move or adjust the slitter block while it is in the film, without the film moving. You must
slowly advance the film and adjust the block or remove it from the film path to do so.
Never leave the slitters in the “cut” position while threading the film; This may result in slitter
breakage and permanent damage to the rear rollers
