Label Pro 5.5H Label Gluer Instructions
Caution: Read these instructions before
unpacking!
Unpacking
 | Carefully unwrap two gold colored rollers packed in the folded section of
the carton insert. Be careful not to scratch or dent. |
| Remove gluer from carton. Place on table with rubber feed roller
nearest you. Remove upper portion of gluer. |
| Install grooved roller in lower bearing notches in the movable spring
controlled arms at each side of the tank. The grooved roller fits in
with its attached gear to the left side. (Model 5.5H-FG has two smooth
rollers. The bottom roller has only one gear.) |
| Install the smooth applicator roller (with two gears) in the upper bearing
blocks (hook-like in shape). The gear attached directly to the roller
should be on the left side and mesh with the gear of the bottom roller.
The top roller snaps into position against the spring pressure of the lower
roller. |
Operation
| Fill the glue tank with a water based glue/adhesive to the edge of the
pour-out trough. See "Fill to Here" lettered on the trough. |
| Place the upper portion of the gluer on the base. When done
correctly you should see the smooth roller through the opening in the upper
portion. Stripper fingers should be positioned on the smooth roller. |
| Insert the label behind the rubber roller, centrally , down the inclined
label ramp until resistance is felt, indicating the label is in the feeding
position. |
| Place tips of the fingers on top of the rubber roller and push away from
you, through to the palm of the hand, until label is fed past the glue roller.
Use one continuous easy motion, not stopping until the label is delivered at
the front of the gluer. |
Clean Up and Maintenance Procedure
If using GF#5 glue, a special dextrin glue designed for applying labels
onto paper boxes, corrugated cartons, craft paper and envelopes, daily cleanup
is not required.
| Remove upper portion of gluer and place a wet towel over the rollers and
glue tank. |
| Place lower portion of gluer, with wet towel, into the plastic bag to
maintain humidity level. |
| Remove any dried glue from stripper fingers and bottom of chrome plated
guide bar. |
| Clean entire gluer before holidays and weekends. See Below. |
Clean up:
Most other adhesives should be cleaned from the gluer on a daily basis.
| Remove upper portion of gluer and pour remaining glue/adhesive from tank.
A pouring trough is built into the tank at the rear for this purpose. |
| Wash remaining glue/adhesive from tank and rollers with water. A
mixture of alcohol and water may be needed for white resin adhesives. |
| Rollers can be easily removed for cleaning but care must be used to
prevent scratching or denting. |
| After cleaning, allow all components to dry. |
A drop of light oil on each bearing, for the rubber feed roller shaft,
will result in easier operation.
