Prior to loading film, the safety shield and feed table
need to be removed. The safety shield should not be
removed except to install films and when cleaning
the rollers. When the shield is off, the laminator will
not run in the continuous mode. Use the foot switch
to advance the rollers.
WARNING: Hot surfaces and pinch points.
Keep fingers and hands away from the heat pressure
and pull rollers when the laminator is running. Failure
to adhere to this warning could result in serious
personal injury.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The top and bottom rolls of laminating
film must be the same width and present
simultaneously.
A small amount of adhesive will squeeze
out during lamination. Hardened adhesive
deposits can damage the main rollers. To
avoid any damage, rotate the rollers at the
slowest speed if
READY is not displayed
on the control panel. Refer to the Operator
Maintenance chapter for cleaning
instructions.
Always change the top and bottom supply
rolls at the same time. Near the end of each
roll of most laminating film is a label stating,
Warning – End of Roll. The appearance
of this label on either the top or bottom roll
requires that new rolls of film be installed as
soon as the item presently being laminated
completely exits the rear of the laminator. Do
not introduce any additional items into the
laminator when the warning label is visible.
Adhesive will deposit on the rollers if:
One or both rolls of film are allowed to run
completely off its core.
Only one roll is used.
Different widths of rolls are loaded together.
Either roll is loaded with the adhesive side
against a roller.
There are two methods of loading film.
Using a threading card.
Tacking new film to existing film.
