WARNING
ALWAYS CHECK THE POSITION AND
CONDITION OF THE THERMOCOUPLES

junction of the thermocouples MUST make
contact with the laminating rolls to maintain
proper roll operating temperatures. The
thermocouples must also be free of adhesive
and dirt. The rolls can overheat and cause a
fire or seriously damage the laminator.

Plug the laminator into an approved socket or
have a certified electrician wire the laminator

Startup Checklist
Start the laminator and go through the following
checklist.
❒
Are the emergency stop buttons working?
Push down on one of the emergency stop
buttons. The laminator should stop. Pull up on
the button. The laminator should resume
operation. Always check both buttons.
WARNING
Never operate the laminator unless both of
the emergency stop buttons are functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
❒
Is the photoelectric eye system working?
With the laminator running, place an object
approximately the size of your hand just in front
of the nip to confirm that the photoelectric eye
system is functioning. The
roll
s should stop.
Move the object away from the nip. The
laminator should resume operation.
WARNING

photoelectric eye system is functioning
properly. You can be crushed or burned.
❒
Is the motor functioning?
Test the motor at various speeds ranging from
0-18. At 0 the
roll
s should stop turning.

Are the heaters working?
Verify that the top heater controller heats the
