VIII. Mounting & Laminating...
1. Be sure all laminator parts (i.e. safety shield, feed table, etc.) are in their proper positions and the laminat-
ing film is loaded correctly (See page 3 for film loading instructions).
2. Open the ROLLER RELEASE handle and select the MOUNT position on both sides of your laminator.
Close the rollers.
3. Turn the HEATED ROLLERS and the TEMPERATURE CONTROL switches to the ON positions. The
heated rollers are necessary only during warm-up and may be turned off for most applications when operat-
ing temperature is reached.
CAUTION: Heated Rollers are for warm-up only
and should be turned off when operating temp-
erature is reached to avoid damaging the rollers.
4. Set the temperatures according to the film manufacturer’s recommendations for the film you have chosen.
The Finisher 4000 will take approximately 10 minutes to reach operating temperature. The roller and shoe
temperatures are indicated on the LCD displays on the control panel.
5. Turn the FANS switch ON. This allows for a clear lamination by cooling the film as it exits the rollers.
6. Turn the MOTOR switch ON and perform a test mount to ensure proper settings for successful mounting.
If any adjustments are necessary make them now and run another test. Repeat this step until you obtain
desired results.
7. Position the print to be mounted on a section of mount board up to ½” thick behind a leader board. The
leader board will prevent compression of the leading edge of your mount board.
8. Feed the print and mount board into the laminator behind the leader board slowly and evenly.
Be sure to
pull back the release liner before it enters the rollers.
9. You may mount subsequent prints now, one directly behind the other so that the board in front becomes
the leader board.
10. Once your last print has completely exited the laminator, turn the MOTOR switch OFF and use the
trimmer on the rear of the laminator to remove the mounted and laminted prints.
IX. Maintenance/Service...
Always use caution when servicing your laminator.
Precautions:
Disconnect the power supply and open the panel breaker
before attempting to service or repair the laminator.
Any maintenance or service should be preformed only by those
having appropriate technical training and experience. Contact
the manufacturer at 800-572-2144 for training information or
technical assistance.
Adjust only those controls that are specified in these operating
instructions.
Use caution when installing and removing the feed table as it
weighs about 30 pounds.
