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). Tape it to the top film edge. This creates
a film "Web" (Photo 10-1 & 10-2).

Using Tension Adjustment knobs, loosen tension on both rolls
of laminating film. Turn the speed control knob to a slow
speed. Turn on the "Drive" switch and using the threading
board—push the film web into the laminating rollers. This
process will push the web into the pull rollers and exit. Ensure
that the threading board and film exit between the rear pull
rollers (Photo 10-3 & 10-4).

NOTE: If you lose your threading board or if it becomes
damaged, you can make your own with a piece of poster
board. Cut poster board 12" wide by the length of the
laminator (18" or 27").
Your laminator is now loaded and ready to be heated. Remove
the threading board and save for your next use.
