3. Install the proper mandrel adaptors on the mandrels. Check that the direction of the hooks are pointing in the same direction. (fig.2)
4. Mandrels are preassembled with the mandrel adaptors for a 2-1/4 inch paper core. When you use roll film with a 3 inch paper core, replace the mandrel adaptors accordingly. (fig 3)

(*LPP6512 also accepts a 1 inch paper core.)

• The adhesive tape used at the edge of the roll film should be removed before use, otherwise it may stick to rollers of the machine.

5. Insert the Mandrel into the film roll.

Be sure the direction of the hook is pointed in the reverse direction of the film rotation. Place Upper and Lower Mandrels on the machine. (fig.4)

• Twisting mandrel slightly in the direction of film rotation will help to shift it within the roll.

3. WARMING UP:

1) Plug in the machine and turn on the Power Switch.

2) Raise the Lamination Handle and turn on HEATER Switch.

3) Set the temperature and speed according to the object to be laminated.

4) READY lamp (yellow) will glow in 8 to 30 minutes indicating the machine is ready for use.

4. OPERATION:

• Caution: Hot Surface. Caution is required as Heat Rollers heat up.

1. Raise the rear tray to the operation position.
2. Be certain that the position of the Rear Cutter is fully to the left or right end of the rail.
3. Pull down the upper film in front of Heat Rollers. Pull the lower film up and overlap the upper film.

(fig.5)

4. Set Safety Cover and Feed Tray. (fig.6)

• For safety reasons, the motor does not start unless the Feed Tray and the Safety Cover are installed.

5. Using Film Setting Board, push both sheets of film between Heat Rollers.

Then lower the Lamination Handle to lower rubber roller, set the speed slow and turn on MOTOR Switch to rotate the rubber rollers, paying attention that film doesn’t twist around the rollers. The Film Setting Board and film should exit the rear of the laminator.

LPP6512 - 1112 Instruction Manual.docx Page 10 of 16

Useful tips:

On and off operation of the roller rotation by pushing MOTOR Switch or Foot Switch will help with positioning.

6. Creases (“waterfall”) may appear on the film over Heat Rollers at the beginning (about 40 inches long). They will disappear shortly. If they do not disappear, slightly increase the film tension using Tension Controllers on the right sides of the mandrels (rotate them in a clock-wise direction). If both ends of laminated films don't overlap each other properly, adjust the position of the film rolls on the mandrels. If film is not properly overlapped adhesive may get on the rollers.
7. During lamination, be sure that the Feed Tray and the Safety Cover are securely set. The machine will not run without them in place.

Useful tips: For perfect finish...

1. It is recommended to find the suitable temperature and speed by testing with a similar material before laminating the real object.

2. To get a satisfactory finish, hold the object evenly and straighten/smooth outwards while laminating.

3. If the laminated film is not transparent (cloudy white), the temperature is not high enough. Raise the temperature or reduce the speed to achieve clear lamination.

8) The object being laminated should be placed on the Feed Tray evenly and at a right angle, otherwise a part of the object may come out of the film while processing.

• In order to place it evenly with the machine, set the width of Paper Guide(s) on the Feed Tray the same as the laminated object.

9. The laminated film will emerge from the pull rollers in the rear of the laminator. At this moment, the temperature of the laminated film is high (approx. 86·104°F).

Caution:

1. Do not press REVERSE Button except in case of emergency. When it is pressed, all the rollers rotate in the reverse direction.

LPP6512 - 1112 Instruction Manual.docx Page 11 of 16

2. When you want to stop the laminating process, press MOTOR Switch to stop the rollers and lift up the rollers. If the rollers are kept heated and pressured the rubber of the roller may deteriorate.

Stand-by Mode:

If lamination is stopped for a while (about 30 min.) with the positions of HEATER:ON, MOTOR:OFF, the machine will change automatically into stand-by mode and temperature will be dropped to 122°F, the lowest preset temperature. Set temperature when you restart operation.

LPP6512 - 1112 Instruction Manual.docx Page 12 of 16

5. HOW TO USE REAR CUTTER:

Use the Rear Cutter as follows when you wish to cut film after stopping the rollers.

1. Press down on the top of the cutter, as cutting edge comes out from the body of the cutter. Slide the cutter horizontally to cut the film. (Cutting can be done from either left or right side.}

• Provide tension to the film while cutting, as it is difficult to cut when film is hot.

2. Pull the top of the cutter up and slide it to either left or right end of the rail.

Caution: Make sure the cutting edge goes back to the body of the cutter. Otherwise, laminated film will hit the cutter and may cause jamming of film and/or damage of the cutter.

6. FINISHING LAMINATION:

1) When the lamination is over, tum off HEATER & MOTOR Switches and lift up the rubber rollers using Lamination Handle.

• If the machine is cooled down with the film in position the film may stick to the rollers and the rubber may be damaged when re-started.

2) Take off Safety Guard and Feed Tray.

3) Cut the upper and lower films at the near side of Heat Rollers. Rotate rollers backwards and discharge the film that is left in the machine.

4) Turn off Power Switch, and finish operation after putting Safety Guard and Feed Tray on.

7. CLEANING OF ROLLERS:

Clean rollers when the operation is over. An excess of adhesive stuck to the rollers may cause film jamming. Fold a sheet of paper {e.g. calendar, catalogue, etc.} in two. Insert it several times between the rollers with folded side ahead. Cleaning periodically by wiping with a rag soaked with methyl or ethyl alcohol is recommended because old adhesive cannot be easily removed. Never use organic solvents (toluene, benzene, thinner, etc.}.

Do not use thin paper (e.g. copying paper} for the cleaning of the rollers as it may cause jamming.

CAUTION: Do not use metals or sharp materials to remove glue from rollers.Laminating Film

8. LAMINATING FILM:

It is recommended to use Fujipla or DryLam film. Mismatching of film characteristics to the paper being laminated may cause problems relating to poor film adhesion to paper. Please contact DryLam for further details about laminating films.
