D. Laminating D. Laminating After the machine is loaded with lm (see B. Loading Film: 1” Mandrel) and threaded (see C. Threading the Film), it is ready to laminate. Ensure that the laminator has reached the preset temperature. This will be indicated by the ready light being illu- minated.
Note Note: As the diameter of the lm roll decreases, tension should be reduced. To increase tension, turn the adjusting knob clockwise. To decrease tension, turn the knob counterclock- wise. If the tension is not equal top and bottom, the laminated product will curl. If the material curls up up as it comes out of the machine, the top roll is probably tighter than the bottom.
