II. For your Safety... Do not connect the laminator to electrical power or attempt to operate it until you have read these instructions completely. Keep these instructions in a convenient location for future reference. Read all safety messages located in this instruction manual and on the laminator very care- fully.
Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or plug. Replace fuses only with same type rated 30A, 240V and 1A, 250V fuses. Contact your dealer for replacement fuses. There are TWO (2) EMERGENCY STOP buttons on your Finisher 2700. Pressing either one of these buttons will stop the rollers.

VI. Thermal Laminating... 1. Be sure all laminator parts (i.e. safety shield, feed table, etc.) are in their proper positions and the laminating film is loaded correctly (See page 3 for film loading instructions). 2. Select the CLOSE position using the Pressure Control handle located on the right side of your Finisher 2700.
7. Set the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to the FORWARD position. 8. Turn the MOTOR CONTROL ON/OFF switch to the ON position. 9. Turn the MOTOR CONTROL knob far enough to sufficiently pull a feed card into the laminator. 10. Feed the feed card between the RollerShoes™ and into the front rollers. 11.
CAUTION: Heated Rollers are for warm-up only and should be turned off when operating temp- erature is reached to avoid damaging the rollers. 4. Set the temperatures according to the film manufacturer’s recommendations for the film you have chosen. The Finisher 2700 will take approximately 15 minutes to reach operating temperature. The roller and shoe temperatures are indicated on the LCD displays on the control panel.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 until the rollers are thoroughly clean. 8. Allow the rollers to dry completely before rethreading the laminating film. Cleaning RollerShoes™: Clean the RollerShoes™ periodically to avoid adhesive build-up. Build-up can inhibit the film from moving over the shoes smoothly.
