Operator’s Manual

Important Safety Information

Before operating the JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD for the fi rst time, read and understand the following safety-related
information. Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the equipment
and materials being used.

Safety Symbols

Danger and/or warning symbols indicate imminently and/or potentially hazardous situations that, if not avoided, may
result in serious injury or death.

Operator’s Manual

Important Safety Information

The JetMounter™ JM63 Fuzion XD performs mounting and laminating applications by using two
rollers to apply uniform pressure to mounting adhesives and overlaminating fi lms. The point where
the rollers touch these materials is called the “Nip”. This area creates a potential pinch hazard for

fi ngers or other objects. TO AVOID INJURY, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE
NIP AREA.

When using a large supply roll, be aware that a pinch hazard may exist between the top roller and
the supply shaft. When working from the rear of the machine, be aware of the pinch point (Nip) of
the contacting rollers and exercise extreme caution to avoid injury.

Exercise caution when lifting rolls of adhesive or laminate due to their weight. Obtain assistance to
avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment and materials.

No persons under the age of 16 should be allowed to operate the equipment.

DO NOT operate the equipment while under the infl uence of alcohol, prescription drugs or any other substance that
could impair your judgment or reaction time.

Remove any jewelry such as rings, bracelets and necklaces prior to operating the equipment. Keep loose clothing,
neckties, artifi cial fi ngernails, long hair, and anything else that might easily be drawn into the rollers away from the
machine.

Always work at a slow speed until you become familiar with the equipment.

Power “Off” the machine when loading rolls of adhesive or laminate, cleaning the rollers, or performing other activities
that require close proximity of fi ngers to the Nip area. Doing so will prevent the machine’s rollers from inadvertently
turning. During machine operation, keep fi ngers away from the Nip area.

Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply before removing any panels for
service.

Important Safety Information

Safety Features

The following safety features are designed to offer a reasonable measure of protection against injury while maintaining
an operator-friendly machine. Please do not attempt to disable or alter their functionality in any way. Any modifi cations

will void the warranty and may pose a serious risk to the operator. If any malfunction occurs, stop using the
machine immediately and contact the Drytac Technical Services department.

The JM63 Fuzion XD has electric eyes or photocells installed in front of the Nip area for safety. When interrupted,
they will stop the rollers immediately, a photocell status LED on the Control Panel will light up, and a buzzer will sound
as a warning to indicate that an object is breaking the photocell circuit. Be particularly cautious when operating the
equipment with the Foot Pedal as the rollers WILL NOT STOP when the photocells are interrupted. An audible alarm
will sound, but the rollers will continue to turn at a reduced speed.

Prior to operating the equipment, always check that the photocells and buzzer are working properly. Use a piece of
cardboard to block the photocells to confi rm that the alarm sounds and the rollers stop.

The JM63 Fuzion XD is also equipped with two red Emergency Stop Buttons, located on the top of both the left and
right end cases. The Emergency Stop Buttons will stop the machine immediately, shutting off power to the Control
Panel. The machine can also be stopped by lifting your foot off the Foot Pedal, turning the Speed Control Knob to zero
(0), turning off the Power Button on the Control Panel, or turning off the main Power Switch on the back of the left
end case. If there is a “No Power” condition, check to see if the Emergency Stop Buttons are depressed before further
troubleshooting.
