WARNING
When operating the laminator using the
variable speed footswitch, keep hands and
fingers away from the nip of the rollers.
You may be CRUSHED or BURNED!
h) With the stack of substrates within reach of the
first person, step on the variable speed
footswitch while sliding one board in after the
leader board with a 1/2 in. gap between the
two. Refer to Figure 6.1.4
Speed is controlled through the variable
speed footswitch when the safety shield
is in the raised position.
CAUTION
Figure 6.1.4 ( 1/2 in. ) Gap
Substrate
1/2" Gap
Precoated board
The 1/2 in. gap between boards will allow
for easier separation of the boards by
the second person.
INFORMATION
WARNING
Keep hands and fingers clear of the pull
roller nip when changing the gap.
You can be CRUSHED!
i) The person at the rear of the laminator will guide
and lower the upper pull roller onto the leader
board as it passes through the nip opening.
Do not lower the pull roller so that the
substrate is crushed when passing through.
This will prevent the boards from bowing.
INFORMATION
j) As the boards come through, the person at the
rear of the machine will use the utility knife to
separate the boards.
