6. If necessary, locate the knob on the right side of the bottom supply 
mandrel and adjust the tension as in Step 3 above.  

Setting Heat Shoe Temperature  

The laminator temperature should be adjusted according to the film 
thickness and the item being laminated. See recommended temperature 
settings from your film supplier.  Keep in mind that different brands of 
laminating film may require different temperatures.  

1.Turn the heater switch on.  
2.Use the thermostat adjustment knob (black knob) on the left side of the 
laminator to adjust the temperature of the heat shoes.  
3.Turn the knob clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the 
temperature. If reducing the temperature, wait several minutes for the heat to 
drop to the desired operating temperature. When increasing temperature, the 
indicator lamp will come on as the laminator is heating up and go off when it 
reaches the set temperature. (Wait 10 minutes between each adjustment before 
using the laminator. This will let the heat stabilize).  
4.Check the thermometer to see if the desired temperature has been reached.  
You may have to make a few minor adjustments before optimum temperature is 
set. Most laminating film laminates within a given temperature range so an exact 
temperature reading is not necessary.  
 

Laminating  

1. When the motor is first turned on, allow 6” of film to clear heat shoes for best 
laminating results.                                                                                                   
2.  Be sure the heaters have been turned on and are at the proper temperature.
