SETTING THE UNWIND BRAKE TENSION

IMPORTANT! The brake tension greatly

affects the smooth flow of the laminating film.

• Turning the unwind brake in a counter-clockwise

direction increases the braking tension applied on

the laminate.

• Turning the unwind brake in a clockwise direction

decreases the braking tension.

• The best setting for the unwind brake tension is

determined by the materials you are using and is

learned through experience.

LOADING A ROLL OF MATERIAL

IMPORTANT! Make sure to fully release brake

tension whenever changing a roll of film.

• Swing out the desired unwind shaft towards you

and slide a roll of material onto the unwind shaft.

Ensure that the rubber blocking cords are on the

top and bottom for easy loading.

IMPORTANT! Make certain that you place the

roll of film on the unwind shaft so that the

material will feed with the adhesive side facing

away from the rollers.

• Press the unwind shaft firmly back into the receiver

to prevent tension and tracking problems.

• Center the films on the unwind shafts. Measure the

distance from the face of the cabinet and the film

edges (not the cores) and adjust until they are equal.

IMPORTANT! The position of all films,

boards, rolls of media and cardboard cores for

wind-ups must be set central in the laminator to

ensure optimum quality and correct tracking.

and align edges.

Figure 9. Aligning Films on Unwinds

• TIP! For alignment accuracy, pull a length of film

backward off the top unwind shaft until it drapes

over the film on the bottom unwind shaft. Make

sure the edges of both films line up.

• Now secure the films on the shafts by gripping the

shafts with one hand while rotating the rolls of

material with the other hand in the direction it will

be pulled off the unwind shafts. The rubber

blocking cords will catch on the inside of the

material core and hold the material secure on the

shaft.

• If material needs to be rotated, turn the shafts, not

the rolls of film otherwise the roll of film will no

longer be secure to the shaft.
