2. Pull 6"-12" of film from the top roll. Pass the film under the idler bar and over the heat shoes. Make sure the shiny side of the film is against the shoes. 3. For the bottom supply roll, remove the run-off table. From the back of the laminator, place the mandrel ends into position in the lower mandrel holder slots.
5. Turn the Motor switch to ON to start the Laminating and Pull Rollers. 6. Feed a piece of thin cardboard about 10” x 25” against the film so that it is centered between the two Heat Shoes. Push the cardboard and film into the Laminating Rollers. See figure 5. 7.
Material Temperature Range 1.5 mil (.0015”) 300°F - 320°F 3 mil (.003”) 250°F - 265°F Table 1 LAMINATING 1. Be sure the heaters have been turned on and are at the proper temperature. Be sure the film has been properly threaded. Caution: Do not allow the temperature to exceed 350°F as this could cause the laminating film to melt on the Heat Shoes and will void your warranty.

Make sure to press “Timer Reset” if the machine has been unattended for an hour or more. Ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped Fuse may have blown. Replace fuse (rear next to power cord) with 15 amp BUSS (MDA-15) for standard units, or 12 amp (MDA-12) for CSA units.
PROBLEM: Laminated material curls after leaving pull rollers. ACTION: Adjust tension. If laminated item curls upwards, reduce top roller tension. If item curls downward, reduce bottom roller tension. Clean heat shoes of residual adhesive as it may be causing “drag” on one side. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
Removing Wrap-arounds... When laminating with thinner gauges of film, there is the possibility of the film wrapping around the Pull Rollers. Use the same procedure for Cleaning the Heat Shoes and Laminating Rollers in order to remove a wrap-around. You should remove any wrap-arounds that occur as soon as possible.
