5-2 Threading the Laminator
1. Although this machine can be threaded cold, most operators feel it’s
easier to thread while it is warming up or already hot. Remove the supply roll
mandrels and the feed tray. The supply roll mandrels are now ready to be
loaded with film. The film is usually wound with the adhesive side “out” on
the rolls of film.
(There are 3” diameter stop collars included with the machine. These
components are designed to help you conveniently align your top and bottom
rolls of film, and can be used to hold your film rolls in place if necessary.)
2. Slide a roll of film onto the top supply roll mandrel. Center the roll on the
mandrel and place the mandrel in the top bracket.
Make sure the dull side
of the film is facing up and the shiny side is facing the heat shoes
during the threading.
