Page 8: Loading Film
LOADING FILM COLOR-CODED LAMINATORS & FILM: (For more information on this revolutionary system see the back cover) Select the two rolls of laminating film that you wish to use. Both rolls of film should be of the same size, type and thickness. - Page 9 Note: When loading your laminating film, check for film splices. These rolls will be clearly marked. Splices are not common, but are unavoidable. If you find a spliced roll, place it in the top position on the laminator so that the splice can be monitored carefully.
- Page 10 Thread the top roll of film under the idler roller as shown in the threading diagram on previous page (see Figure 9-4). Pull the film down so that the films lead edge is below the lower heat shoe. Next thread the bottom roll of film under the lower idler bar pulling film upward until it is even with the top heat shoe (the film will overlap).

Page 17: Removing The Rubber Rollers
REMOVING THE RUBBER ROLLERS NOTE: Only remove rollers if they are cut or in poor condition. NOTE: The following procedure removes all 4 rollers. In certain instances, it is not necessary to remove all 4 rollers, therefore, remove as required. STEP 1: Remove all film from laminator. - Page 18 STEP 7: To remove the upper roller, slide the roll shaft out of the roller and then lift the top rubber rollers from the laminator (top laminating roller shown). Photos 19-1 and 19-2 Photo 19-1 STEP 8: Loosen the set screws of the lower roller sprockets (laminating roller shown) Photo 19-3.
- Page 19 STEP 11: To install a new roller or replace the original roller, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure to properly reposition the sprockets and align the chain. All three sprockets should be in line with each other. Since the motor sprocket was not removed, use it as a guide for alignment of the pull roll and laminating roll sprockets.
