Before starting the loading process, remove the tray from the machine. Match the colour
dots on the end of the supply roll with the corresponding dots on the side of the machine.
Note which roll is identified as top and bottom. The bottom roll has a starter section.
Slide the supply roll into the grooves in the sides of the machine, making certain that
the roll is inserted completely. On the bottom supply roll, grasp the starter section by
the leading edge, route over the bottom idler bar adjacent to the lower rubber roller. Make
sure the starter film is inserted squarely between the two rubber rollers.
Refer to the Web Path Diagram to see an example of this. Pay special attention to the machine
rollers, idler bars and supply roll locations. Use the foot pedal to run the starter section
into the rubber rollers. Ensure that the film is exiting beneath the cutter bar assembly.
Advance approximately half of the starter section. Be sure not to run any film with
adhesive exposed into the rollers. Grasp the film from the upper supply roll and adhere
to the adhesive on the lower supply roll. By carefully aligning the edges, keeping the
film tight and avoiding wrinkles, film waste will be minimised. Use the foot pedal to run
the film through the machine. Ensure that the film is exiting beneath the
cutter bar assembly. Run material through the machine until all the wrinkles go away.
The amount of material used with vary depending on accuracy. Trim of excess film by using
the hand held cutter and sliding it in either direction.
After the film has been loaded, replace the feed tray and you are ready to begin using
the machine. For troubleshooting tips, refer to your user guide.
