same location will create a wear spot. Mixing up the
feeding location will give heat rollers longer life.

CLEARING A JAM

Film jams may occur if the laminator is not
positioned to allow exiting film to drop freely to the
floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits the
laminator may cause film to wrap around the roller,
causing a jammed condition.
To clear a jam it is necessary to rotate the rollers in a
reverse direction.
1. Immediately stop the laminator by hitting the
Stop Button
2. Open the Heat Shield and remove the Feed
Table
3. Cut the top and bottom film webs by the Idler
bars
4. Grasp the loose ends of the film web and pull
straight out while pushing

Lamination Tips

Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or
metal items such as staples or paper clips as
they will damage the heat rollers.

Do not force items into the nip area of the
rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into
the laminator is probably too thick to
laminate.

Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to
reposition an item once the rollers have
grasped it.

Do not stop the laminator before an item
has completely exited the rear of the
laminator. Even a momentary stop will
cause a mark (heat line) to appear on the
laminated item.

Adhesive will be deposited on the Heat
Rollers if:
- Only one roll of film is used. The top
and bottom rolls must be used for
problem free lamination.
- One or both rolls of film are allowed to
run completely off the core.
- Top and bottom roll film edges are not
evenly aligned
