 1" core laminating film is rolled adhesive side "in" (poly-in"). When loading film on the
Supply Mandrels, be sure that the roll is positioned correctly to unroll as shown in the
Threading Diagram on the back of the Feed Table. If the roll is loaded in reverse, the film
could adhere to the laminator when heated necessitating a cleaning operation.
3.3 Threading Film for Encapsulating...
Thread the top film under the Upper Idler Roller. Pull the film down so that the film's leading edge
is just below the Lower Front Laminating Roller. Next, thread the bottom film around the Lower
Idler Roller. Pull it upward until it is even with the top of the Top Front Laminating Roller (the film
will overlap). Tape the lower film's edge to the upper film. This creates a film "Web." Refer to
the Threading Diagram on the back of the Feed Table for additional details.
Loosen the tension on both rolls of laminating film by turning the Tension Adjustment Knobs
counter-clockwise; when threading the laminating film it is best to have no drag at all. Turn the
Speed Control Knob to a slow speed setting. Set the Motor Drive Switch to the "FORWARD"
position and using the Threading Board, push the film Web into the Laminating Rollers. This
process will push the Web into the Pull Rollers and then exit the machine. Ensure that the
Threading Board and laminating film exit between the rear Pull Rollers.
Remove the Threading Board and save it for your next use. Your laminator is now loaded and
ready to be heated.
Note: If the Threading Board becomes lost or damaged, you can make your own with a piece of
poster board. Cut the poster board 10" wide by 30" long.
3.4 Heat Settings for Encapsulating...
For Basic encapsulating, set the Heat Switch to the "ON" position. The Red Indicator Light will
illuminate and remain lit while the Heat Switch is in the "ON" position. Next, set the Heat Mode
Switch on the Right Side Panel to "dual heat." The Display Board, also on the Right Side Panel is
now illuminated and shows the current set temperature. To reset the temperature, rotate the
Heat Control Knob located below the display. The new set temperature will be displayed
immediately. The Heat Indicator Lamp will be illuminated while the machine is heating and will
turn off when the set temperature is reached. To view the actual running temperature, depress
the ACT Button on the Display Board.
Notes:
 When setting the heat to a temperature below 200˚F, first rotate the Heat Control Knob
fully clockwise and then proceed to the desired temperature setting.
 The temperature display can be toggled between Fahrenheit and Centigrade by
depressing the C/F button on the Display Board.
