Press the RUN button on the control panel.
Move the roller pressure handle so that it applies
pressure to the threading card and guide the
card into the machine until the rollers pull it on its
own.
WARNING: Keep your fingers and hands away
from the nip point while the machine is running.
They could be trapped and crushed in the rollers.
Clothing, jewelry, and long hair could be caught in
the rollers and pull you into them.
Release the card and ensure that both films and
card are being pulled into the laminator.
The card will guide the film into the rollers.
After the threading card exits the laminator, set
the roller pressure handle to
Release.
Press the STOP button.
Separate the release liner from the card.
Pull the film up to the take-up core and tape it to
the core.
Replace the safety shield and feed table.
Refer to Safety

Webbing PSA Films
Refer to the Configuration for PSA Film section in this
chapter for the proper configuration.
Fig. 6-19. Configuration for Poly-in or Poly-out PSA Films.
Pull the top film down, thread it under the idler
bar, and pull the film back up to the take-up core.
Lightly tape both corners of the film to the
take-up core.
Turn the take-up one full turn.
Ensure that the film is pulled evenly and that no
bulges exist at either end of the idler bar.
Using a very sharp utility knife, lightly score the
laminating film approximately 4 in (10 cm) above
the upper pressure roller.
Be careful to not cut through the release liner.
Pull the laminating film away from the liner and
drape it over the front of the pressure rollers so
that it extends a little past the bottom of the top
pressure roller.

Release Liner Attached to Take-up.
Pull the mounting film (or kraft paper) up to
about even with the top of the top pressure roller
without touching the sticky laminating film.
