CAUTION: The machine weighs 155 Lbs [70.45 Kg], have someone assist you in lifting the machine onto the mobile stand. Please lift from under the ends of the machine. DO NOT LIFT USING ANY OF THE ROLLERS. Remember when lifting to bend your knees and keep your back straight to prevent over stressing and possible injury to your back.
Securing Machine to Cart The machine should be placed so that you have full access to all four sides of the machine. Ensure that the power and foot pedal cables are not in a hazardous position on the floor. Check the area to the rear of the machine where laminated items will exit. A flat surface is desired for items to exit onto.

Film Pre-Cautions Below are several precautions which must be followed when handling film: 1. Adhesive side of the film must be oriented away (on the outside) from the laminating roll. Otherwise it will immediately bond to the roll, creating a major clean-up project. 2.

Loading Film Each roll of material comes with an extra 5 feet of material that allows for proper loading without wasting the purchased material. Before starting the loading process, remove tray from the machine. Step 1: • Match the colored dots on the end of each supply roll with the corresponding dots on the side of the machine.

Loading Film (Continued) Step 3: • Make certain the lower film is tight. If necessary, rotate the supply roll backwards to tighten. • Grasp the film from the upper supply roll, and adhere it to the exposed adhesive on the lower supply roll. For best results, adhere the top film 1 inch below the round steel idler bar.
5. Remove the excess material. Caring for your rollers The XM4400 System rollers are of high quality and durability, however, to prevent non-warranty damage, please observe the following precautions. 1. Clean only when needed, with recommended cleaning solution. Isopropyl alcohol rubbed lightly on the rollers is good cleaning solution.
Feeding Items into Machine The initial feeding of an item into the machine is the most important part of the process. If an item enters the machine on an angle, or with wrinkles in the leading edge, the output may end up with wrinkles.
Cutting Material To cut the material off after your document(s) have passed through the machine, please follow the instructions below: 1. Place the document over the edge of the output side of the machine housing. 2. Using the handheld cutter [3351], place the cutter onto the edge of the material at the point you wish to cut off the excess.
Feeding multiple items You can feed as many small items into the machine next to one another as you are capable of handling, however, all items for side-by-side laminating must be the same thickness. If you are feeding items with a combined width narrower than that of the film and of the same thickness, you can feed them side-by-side to prevent wasting material.
