Operating Instructions
7. While pulling evenly, carefully align the edges
of the mounting film (or kraft paper) with the
laminating film, and press the two together.
It is important that the tension is even from one
end of the supply rolls to the other.

8. Press the straight edge of the threading card into
the two films at the nip (the point between the
two pressure rollers) until the card and films are
slightly past the nip.
Fig. 6-22. Threading Card Inserted Between Films.
9. Move the roller pressure handle to where it
applies pressure to the threading card.
10. Press the RUN button on the control panel and
guide the threading card into the machine until
the rollers pull the card 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.
11. Release the card and watch the leading edge of
the card to ensure that it enters the nip area of
the rollers squarely and is being pulled into the
laminator.
The card will guide the film webs into the rollers.
12. Replace the safety shield and feed table.
Refer to Safety Shield Removal and Installation and
Feed Table Removal and Installation in this section.
13. Check the film alignment and adjust the tension
as needed.
