Method For Tacking New Film to Existing Film
The following describes a method for loading film whereby
the existing film present on the heat rollers may be used in
place of the threading card to draw the new film through
the laminator. The adhesive of the existing filrn must be
tacky or Hquefled. Leading edges of the new film will be
overlapped onto the tacky adhesive of the old film. The
existing film and the new film will be pulled through the
laminator together.

2. Cut remaining top and bottom film webs between the
supply rolls and heat rollers.
3. Raise safety shield to full upright position.
