Set-up...

Inspection:

Upon receipt of your MightyLam 2700HC, inspect the box, the machine and all other contents

of the box for shipping damage. Damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the

delivering carrier and your dealer.

Power Requirements:

The MightyLam 2700HC is designed to operate on a 110 Volt, 15 Ampere circuit. It will plug

into a standard 110 volt wall receptacle. You must ensure that the circuit is protected by a 15

ampere circuit breaker. Failure to use a dedicated circuit will result in blown fuses and tripped

breakers.

Appropriate Location:

The laminator must be placed on a sturdy table or stand in a clean, well lit area with ample

space on all four sides of the laminator.

Loading Film onto Mandrels using 3” core adapters:

When the film is loaded properly the core gripper blade will prevent the film from turning on the

supply mandrel. With the gripper spring away from you, pull the core gripper blade toward you

and place the roll of film onto the mandrel. Turn the roll on the mandrel to lock the core gripper

blade into the cardboard film core.

Supply Mandrel Orientation:

The supply mandrels must be placed on the machine in the proper orientation to achieve film

tension. (Note the position of the core grippers in the illustration as viewed from the right hand

end).

Top Roll, Poly (adhesive) In

: With the gripper spring away from you, pull the core gripper

blade toward you and place the roll of film onto the mandrel so that the film unwinds towards

you from the bottom of the roll. Turn the roll on the mandrel to lock the core gripper blade into

the cardboard film core.

Bottom Roll, Poly (adhesive) In

: With the gripper spring towards you, push the core

gripper blade away from you and place the roll of film onto the mandrel so that the film unwinds

away from you from the bottom of the roll. Turn the roll on the mandrel to lock the core gripper

blade into the cardboard film core.

The core gripper blades on the top and bottom mandrels spring back in opposite directions.

The blade should spring back in the direction that the core will rotate when laminating. When

the film is loaded properly the core gripper blade will prevent the film from turning on the

mandrel. When using poly-in rolls the top roll of film should unwind from the bottom of the roll

and the bottom of the roll should also unwind from the bottom of the roll. With Poly-out rolls the

top roll will unwind from the top and the bottom roll will also unwind from the top of the roll.

Once the film is properly loaded onto the mandrels, replace the mandrels onto the laminator.

Removing the 3” core adapters:

Using the supplied Allen wrench, remove the set screw

on the adapter then slide the mounting bracket out. Now the core adapter can be slid off the

end without the brake. It may be necessary to spread the adaptor open slightly to clear the

bearing at the end of the mandrel.

Film Tension:

Film tension must be set correctly to ensure good lamination quality. At the end of the film

supply roll mandrels there is a split brake bushing. To adjust film tension, turn the star shaped

nut on the brake clockwise to increase tension, and counterclockwise to decrease. This action

clamps the brake on the mandrel axle creating tension necessary to achieve good results.

Threading thermal Film:

When changing film rolls, thread the film according to the instructions.

1. Remove the feed table and raise the safety shield.

2. Feed the film from the top roll under the upper idler roller, over the top roller and

behind the safety shield, and pull it down below both rollers. Be sure that the adhesive

side of the film is facing out and the non-adhesive side is against the roller

3. Pull about 3 feet of film from the bottom roll. Feed the film from the bottom roll under

and behind the lower idler roller. Align the edges of top and bottoms rolls so there is no

side to side overlap. This will prevent transferring adhesive to the roller.

4. Lay the film from the lower roll over the film from the top roll and both rollers, again

ensuring the adhesive side is away from the rollers. If you are cold loading, it will be

necessary to tape the bottom film to the top film. If you are hot loading, the bottom film

will adhere to the top film where they overlap at the rollers.

5. Have a large piece of poster board or cardboard ready to use as a feed card to thread

the film between the rollers. A piece 6-8 inches long and the full width of the film will

help prevent wrinkles when loading hot.

6.Replace the feed table and lower the safety shield. Place the board on the feed table

and push it forward to the roller.

7. Turn the SPEED CONTROL knob far enough to allow the rollers to sufficiently pull the

poster board or cardboard into the laminator. Keep in mind that varying media and

temperatures will require different speeds.

8. Feed the poster board or cardboard between the rollers.

9. If you are hot loading, stop the motor after the poster board or cardboard has traveled

one or two inches through the rollers. After the board has passed through the rollers

and there are no wrinkles, reduce the film tension to the minimum amount needed.

Pressure Sensitive (PS) Film Loading

1. Place the roll of single sided PS film on the top supply mandrel. Orient it the same way you

would poly in thermal film (see figure below).

2. Thread film under top idler bar.

3. Peel back release liner and tape it to an empty cardboard core on rewind shaft.

4. Attach a sheet of scrap paper to the film. Ensure that your paper is wider than your film. Also

be sure to never run the machine without paper. This will prevent film from sticking to the

bottom roller. See diagram below…

Rewind Mandrel and Clutch Adjustment

The rewind mandrel is designed to pull off and collect the release liner from pressure sensitive

film. A clutch allows for changes in roll diameters, and constantly keeps tension on the liner to

pull it away from the film. The clutch should be adjusted so that the liner is properly removed

and collected on the mandrel without causing the liner to break, or put undue strain on the

motor. Excessive tension could cause the motor to overheat and fail.

To adjust the clutch:

1. Remove plastic plug from cover.

2. Run motor slowly until the socket head screw is aligned with plug opening.

3. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the tension and counterclockwise to lessen the

tension.

4. Replace plug.

Optional

: When testing we run butcher paper from the bottom supply mandrel to run prints

without overlap. Butcher paper should be wider or equal to the film width.

Note:

Cold laminate can be made more pliable by using a heat assist from the top roller.

Turn on only the top heater and set to 100°F.

Thermal Laminating...

1. Be sure all laminator parts (i.e. safety shield, feed table, etc.) are in their proper

positions and the laminating film is loaded correctly.

2. Set the temperatures according to the film manufacturer’s recommendations for the film

you have chosen. A low-melt film is recommended for inkjet prints. Keep in mind that the

temperature at which you will laminate will vary with different medias and laminating

speeds. See the chart below for approximate temperature ranges. The laminator will take

approximately 25-30 minutes to reach operating temperature. The temperatures will be

indicated on the LED display.

3 mil low melt 190°-210°F

5 mil low melt 200°-210°F

10 mil low melt 210°-220°F

3. Your new MightyLam 2700HC has dual digital heat controllers. Users can easily adjust

the set temperature to achieve the best quality lamination independently top and bottom.

The controller has been calibrated to accurately display roller temperature in the laminating

range.

The heater switches on the left side frame activates in the controllers. When the switch is

turned on the controller will flash a two letter code and then display the current roller

temperature. When cold, the temperature displayed on the controllers may be different

than the actual ambient temperature to account for correction in the higher temperature

range. When the heater switch is turned on the controller will send power to the heaters,

provided the set temperature is higher than ambient temperature.

When power is being sent to the heaters the controller will illuminate a small red indicator

light in the lower right hand corner of the display. The light goes out when the set

temperature is reached. Power to the heaters cycles on and off when the roller temperature

falls below set temperature during lamination.

4. To determine the set temperature, with the heater switch activated and the current

temperature displayed, press and hold down either the up or down arrow for 3-4 seconds.

The display will change and flash the set temperature and “SU” alternately. After 10

seconds the display will return to the current roller temperature.

To change the set temperature, depress and hold either arrow down for 3-4 seconds until

the display flashes “SU and the current set temperature. Depress and hold the appropriate

arrow to raise or lower the setting. The digits will change slowly initially but will increase

speed when held down longer for large changes. When the desired setting has been

reached, release the button. The display will continue to flash for a few seconds and then

display the current roller temperature.

Each time the machine is turned on it will heat up to the last set temperature.

5. Turn the MOTOR switch ON and perform a test lamination to ensure proper settings for

successful lamination. Watch film as it exits the rollers so it doesn’t wrap around the

rollers. It might be helpful to hold the film at first when starting a lamination run. If any

adjustments are necessary make them now and run another test. Repeat this step until

you obtain desired results.

6. Allow the MightyLam 2700HC to run a small amount of film before feeding the print into

the laminator to avoid a dwell line across your print. Feed the print slowly and evenly,

smoothing it as the rollers pull it through.

7. You may laminate subsequent prints now, leaving ample space between each print for

trimming.

8. Once your last print has completely exited the laminator, turn the MOTOR switch OFF.

9. When you have finished laminating, turn heat switch off.

10. With heavier gauges of film it is recommended that the fans be turned on. Be sure to turn

the fans off when the machine is sitting idle.

Coating Mount Board...

The MightyLam 2700HC is capable of applying an adhesive coating to mount board that has

not previous been coated.

1. Load a roll of adhesive, with the liner wound to the outside, onto the top mandrel in the

same manner as with laminating film.

2. Load a roll of paper on the bottom mandrel or use adhesive the same width as the mount

board to keep the adhesive from accumulating on the rollers.

3. Set the temperature to approximately 125°F. The MightyLam 2700HC will take

approximately 10-15 minutes to reach this temperature. The roller temperatures are

indicated on the LED displays.

4. Feed the uncoated mount board into the laminator behind a small leader board. The

leader board will prevent the compression of the leading edge of your mount board.

5. You may coat subsequent boards now, one directly behind the other, so that the board in

front becomes the leader board. We recommend that you coat a sufficient supply of mount

board in one session so you’ll have it ready for future use.
