Congratulations on your purchase of the MightyLam 2700 Roll Laminator. This unit is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. The MightyLam 2700 will accept rolls of laminating film up to 27” wide in all film thicknesses. Paper and card stock up to 1/16” (1.6mm) thick may be laminated without adjusting the rollers. Your MightyLam 2700 is preset at the factory for most applications so any adjustments should be minor.
Before unpacking the unit, inspect the shipping container for signs of damage. Notify the carrier and your dealer immediately if any damage is noted. Components... Figure 1 below shows the location of the major components and controls of the MightyLam 2700. You should become familiar with these before operating the laminator. Figure 1...
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Heat Control Your new MightyLam 2700 has digital heat controllers for each heat shoe. Users can easily adjust the set temperature for each heat shoe individually to achieve the best quality lamination. Both controllers have been calibrated to accurately display the heat shoe temperature in the laminating range.
These instructions apply to poly-in film rolls (shiny side out, dull side in). 1. For the top supply roll place the mandrel ends into the slots in the top of the laminator. If you are facing the front of the laminator the film should unwind toward you from the bottom of the roll as in figure below.

Push the cardboard and film into the laminating rollers. See figure 5. Watch cardboard pass through the back (pull) rollers to avoid a wrap-around. 7. When the feed card has completely exited the pull rollers at the rear of the laminator turn the motor switch off. 8. Replace the feed table.
Adjusting Slitter Blades The slitter (figure 8) may be set to trim the web to the desired width as it exits the laminator. If an additional slitter blade is installed (optional), two pages (side-by-side) may be laminated and trimmed in a single operation. (As the web exits the unit, these pages may then be separated with the additional slitter blade).
Caution! Do not allow the temperature to exceed 350°F as this could cause the laminating film to melt on the heat shoes. 2. Adjust the Paper Guide on the Feed Table so that the right edge of the item will enter the laminator at the desired position.
Mounting & Laminating The MightyLam 2700 is capable of simultaneously mounting and laminating a print on up to 3/16” mount board. Preparing your print for mounting: 1. Peel back about 2” of release liner on your pre-coated mount board.

Mounting your print: 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 on top and bottom mandrels. (See page 8-9 for film loading instructions). 2. Using the supplied allen wrench back out the four pressure adjustment screws 1 full turn for each 1/16” thickness of the board.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Laminator is inoperative. Motor does not run, indicator lights are out. ACTION: Unit may be unplugged. Connect power supply. Ensure that your circuit breaker has not tripped. Fuse may have blown. Replace 15 amp power fuse. PROBLEM: Laminating film and item being laminated move through laminator erratically.
