2Slide the feed table latch to the left.
3Lift the feed table upwards and away from the laminator.

If reloading film, cut the remaining top and bottom film webs between the supply rolls and heat shoes. Be careful not to scratch the heat shoes. Remove the old rolls and check the heat shoes for adhesive residue. This can be easily removed by wiping with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive, as they will damage the Teflon coating on the heat shoe.
Change the top and bottom supply roll at the same time.
