Operation
CAUTION: MAKE SURE HEAT SHIELD AND FEED TABLE ARE IN THE PROPER POSITION TO OPERATE THE UNIT.
1Move the Main Power switch to the ‘ON’ ( 
) position (figure 1). With the main power switch in the ‘ON’ ( 
) position, the laminator can be turned on or off using the standby switch ( 
) located on the control panel. When the standby switch is activated the red power indicator ( 
) will illuminate. The laminator is now heating.
2Use the lamination guide on the feed table to select the correct laminating temperature for the film gauge and media that you are laminating. The guide will provide a good starting point. You may need to adjust the temperature up or down slightly to accommodate the finish or thickness of the media.
3When the laminator reaches operating temperature, the green ready indicator ( 
) on the control panel will illuminate.
4Position the item(s) to be laminated on the feed table.
5Move the RUN / STOP / REVERSE SWITCH ( 
) to the ‘RUN’ ( 
) position.
6Slide the item(s) to be laminated into the nip rollers.
7When the laminated item(s) exit(s the rear of the laminator, move
the RUN / STOP / REVERSE SWITCH ( 
) to the ‘STOP’ ( 
) position.
8Use the Rear Slitter located at the back of the laminator to separate the laminated item(s) from the film web.
Clearing a Film Jam (Wrap-Up)
Film jams may occur if the laminator is not positioned to allow exiting film to drop freely to the floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits the laminator may cause film to wrap around the roller, causing a jammed condition.
To clear a jam it is necessary to rotate the rollers in a reverse direction.
To clear a jam:
1Immediately stop the laminator by moving the RUN / STOP /
REVERSE SWITCH ( 
) to the ‘STOP’ ( 
) position.
2Remove the feed table and heat shield.
3Cut the top and bottom film webs.
4Grasp the loose ends of the web and pull straight out. Install the feed table with the loose ends of the web on top of the table.
5Move the RUN / STOP / REVERSE SWITCH ( 
) to the ‘REVERSE’ ( 
) position and guide the film out of the laminator.
6When the film has cleared the heat shoes, move the RUN / STOP
/ REVERSE SWITCH ( 
) to the ‘STOP’ ( 
) position.
7Thread the film per section Film Loading and Threading.

Laminating Tips
•Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal items such as staples or paper clips as they will damage the heat shoes and rollers.
•Do not force items into the nip area of the rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator is probably too thick to laminate.
•Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once the rollers have grasped it.
•Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the rear of the laminator. Even a momentary stop will cause a mark (heat line) to appear on the laminated item.
Adhesive will be deposited on the heat shoes and rollers if:
•Only one roll of film is used. The top and bottom rolls must be used for problem free lamination.
•One or both rolls of film are allowed to run completely off the core.
