Operating Instructions

44DT

IMPORTANT: The top and bottom rolls of laminating
film must be the same width.

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.

Prior to loading film, the safety shield and feed table
need to be removed.
