Frequently Asked Questions - RSC-1650LSH Royal Sovereign

How do I set the roller nip gap for different materials?

Use the pressure lever to adjust the nip setting. Refer to the chart in the manual: position 1 for lamination only (open), position 2 for 1mm board, position 3 for 5-7mm, position 4 for 10-13mm, position 5 for 15-18mm, position 6 for 20-23mm, and position 7 for 25mm. For lamination without mounting, set to position 1 (open).

What types of film can I use with this laminator?

The laminator accepts films from 50 to 500 microns thick. Royal Sovereign recommends using films with adhesive facing inward. The auto grip cores accommodate both 2-inch and 3-inch cores.

How do I load the film onto the shafts?

Remove the upper and lower film shafts. Adjust the auto grip to fit the film core and tighten the screw. Center the film on the shaft, noting that adhesive should face inward. Reinstall the shafts into the machine.

The machine won't start. What should I check?

First, ensure the power cord is plugged in and the power switch is set to 'I' (on). Check if the emergency stop switch is engaged and release it. Verify that the paper guide is properly installed to activate the micro switch. Also check for blown fuses (main power fuse or motor fuse) and replace if necessary.

How do I clean the rollers?

Remove the film from the laminator. Use a damp cloth (water only) and a rubber gum eraser to gently rub off adhesive residue. Do not use sharp objects, steel wool, or abrasives as they can damage the roller surface.

How often should I lubricate the machine?

Lubricate the drive chain and sprockets every 6 months or after 1000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Use a light coat of gear lube or heavy lithium grease.

Can I laminate boards thicker than 25mm?

No, the maximum substrate thickness is 25mm (1 inch). Attempting to laminate thicker materials may damage the rollers or cause poor lamination quality.

How do I use the cross cutter?

After lamination, move the cutter to the desired cut point. Grasp the film with one hand, press the cutter down, and slide it across the width of the application to cut. The cutter is located on the rear exit table.

What does the warranty cover?

Royal Sovereign warrants the laminator against defects in material and workmanship for 1 year (parts and labor) from installation, with a 6-month warranty on lamination rollers. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, alterations, or improper cleaning.

How do I adjust the film tension?

Use the tension control knobs located on the laminator. Turn clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease. Adjust until the film has slight resistance; thicker films require more tension.

10. Do not attempt to laminate items that exceed total recommended material thickness for the unit
11. When cleaning the machine, don't use flammable sprays or materials.
12. Do not touch the rollers when they are hot or place foreign objects inside the machine.
13. Do not cover the surface of the machine until the machine has completely cooled.

3. INSTALLATION

Note: The laminator should be installed by a trained service technician.

The laminator comes fully assembled, except for the feed table and paper guide to avoid shipping damage. Upon arrival, thoroughly inspect the unit. It is imperative that any shipping damage is reported and a claim is filed with the delivering carrier immediately upon receipt.

The laminator should be located in an area with adequate work space for feeding graphics and lamination materials.

Avoid placing the laminator in a dusty area or near sources of extreme heat or cold.
