ADJUSTING THE SPOOL BRAKE
The LM1012TTS is equipped with an adjustable storage spool brake. NOTE: This is preset at the factory and usually
does not require additional adjustment. If web tension problems occur, it may be necessary to adjust the storage spool
brake. Some common problems are: web too loose, web breaks, and web slips in drive rollers. The storage spool brake
and actions to adjust this are shown below.
ACTIONS TO ADJUST SPOOL BRAKE
1. TURN OFF POWER TO THE MACHINE.
2. Remove the spool and remove the label stock from the machine.
3. Grab the spool with your hand and rotate it checking for any resistance.
A. If the spool has little or no resistance, loosen the lock nut (A), and tighten the tension bolt (B) until you can feel a
moderate resistance.
B. If the spool has too much resistance, loosen the lock nut (A), and back the tension bolt out. Now check the spool to see
if it spins freely on the shaft. If it spins freely, adjust as shown in “A” above. If it does not spin freely, consult the factory.
4. After adjusting the tension bolt (B), retighten the lock nut (A), re-web the machine and test the unit.
