PERATION
For thermal processes, the heat rollers need to be
brought up to the proper temperature before you
load films or run items through the laminator. If the
laminator will be idle for more than four hours, lower
the temperature of both rollers to 180 °F (80 °C).
For PSA films and mounting processes, remove the
chill idler.
The safety shield and feed table must be in the
normal operating position.
Select a job mode and ensure the proper speed
and temperatures are set.
Set the roller handle to one of the laminating
positions.
Press the Press/Release button.
The main rollers gap.
WARNING: Hot surfaces and pinch points.
Keep fingers and hands away from the heat pressure
and pull rollers. Clothing, jewelry and long hair could
be caught in the rollers and pull you into them.
Failure to adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
Press the Run button.
Press the Press/Release button.

leading edge to buckle and create a wave.
