this stop position.
Turn the button to unlock it.

Turn the wheel clockwise to narrow (close) the nip or

When both rollers touch the materials, the pressure is set. By turning the wheel clockwise
the pressure is increased. Turning the nip setting wheel counter-clockwise the pressure
will decrease.
The nip setting and the pressure are indicated on the control panel.
Foot switch (3), snap switch;
Press and hold the switch to start the rotation of the rolls. Insert the forefoot completely to
disable the safety lock that prevents accidental starting.
When the switch is released, the rotation of the rolls will stop.
Unwind tension control (4), knob;
By turning this knob clockwise an amount of friction is set between the shaft and
the frame, so this will act as a brake.
Tightening the brake will apply more tension to the material on the shaft.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise will release the brake and therefore release the
tension.
