A.Mounting & Laminating Presets

Mounting and Laminating Presets are located on the side cover. The decal describes the gap and downward pressure.

B.Roller Pressure Handle

The Roller Pressure Handle adjusts the amount of roller pressure needed for various laminating and mounting applications. Pull the handle away from the laminator, rotate it to the desired pressure, and press it into the desired slot. Three main function settings are provided.

IMPORTANT: Use a pressure setting that is appropriate for the material you are laminating or mounting.

Release – Provides the widest opening of 1/2 in. (1.6 to 12.7 mm) between the pressure rollers and takes pressure off the rollers. This is used when installing new rolls of film. When the machine is not in use, put the handle in this position.

Mounting – Used when bonding to a rigid substrate such as mounting boards. Thickness range is 1/16 to 1/2 in. (1.6 to 12.7 mm).

Laminating – Used to adhere materials in multiple substrates. The two positions are low (right) and high (left) pressure.
