When the feed card has completely exited the Pull Rollers at the rear of 

 

the laminator, turn the motor switch off. Make sure both webs of film  

 

have   cleared the pull rollers and have not wrapped around the rollers.  

2.

 

Replace the feed table.  

3.

 

If you are ready to laminate, the green heat switch should be in the “on” 

 

position and the red heat indicator should have gone off.

If you are changing film while the machine is hot, please refer to the 

 

video.  

 

Adjusting Mandrel/Film Tension  

Each type of laminating film has different characteristics and may require 
laminator adjustment. The tension should be set so that the film moves over the 
heat shoes without wrinkles as the film enters the laminator.  Best results are 
obtained if tension adjustments are made while the unit is at operating 
temperature.  If any adjustments are required, use the following procedure:  

1.Switch the heaters on.  Wait 30-35 minutes for the heat shoes to reach 
operating temperature.  The heat indicator will turn off when the set temperature 
is reached.  You can check the temperature by reading the thermometer located 
on the right side of the laminator.  
2.When the unit is first turned on, it will need to sit 30-35 minutes for nip rollers 
to reach proper laminating temperature.  
3.Press the motor switch to the “on” position.  
4.Locate the knob on the right side of the top supply mandrel.  See Figure 7. 5  
5.Turn the knob to adjust the tension (clockwise to increase,  
counterclockwise to decrease) until the film passes over the top heat shoe 
without wrinkles and the web between the laminating and pull rollers is tight.   
 
 
Note: This adjustment should require only a slight turn.  If increased too 
much, you may stall the drive motor.
