LOADING FILM

NOTE: Each laminator is test run after it is assembled.
Your laminator may have a piece of test film in the rollers
when you receive it. If so, before threading, remove the
test film by turning the drive switch to "ON". The test film
will exit the laminator.
Step 1:
• The laminator should be preheated before loading
laminating film.
• To heat the machine, turn on the main power switch
located on the left rear corner of the laminator.
Next, turn on both of the heat shoe power switches
located on the left control console. The LCD's
showing the temperature setting will illuminate.
• Rotate the heat control knobs until desired temperature
is indicated on the LCD panel. The red heat-on lights will
remain on until the machine is up to temperature, at
this time the red lights will turn off and the green lights
will turn on.
Step 2:
When the laminator is heating, the rollers should be turning to heat the rubber rollers evenly.
• Turn the drive switch to the forward position and rotate the speed control knob until the
rollers are moving slowly.
• Heat approximately 15 minutes, until the green ready light turns on.
