X.  Do’s and Don’ts... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read the instruction manual before operating your laminator. 

 

 

Always run test samples before laminating valuable items. 

 

 

Feed the print through slowly and evenly, smoothing it as it is pulled into the 

 laminator. 

 

 

Operate the laminator with two rolls of the same width laminating film to avoid 
excessive adhesive transfer to the rollers. 

 

 

If laminator is not in current use, lower the heat setting or turn unit off. 

 

 

Never  feed abrasive materials or metal objects such as staples, paper clips, or 
glitter 

 

through the laminator. Keep sharp objects like scissors and rulers away from the 
rollers at all times. 

 

 

Once an item has been fed between the rollers do not attempt to alter its position 
as this can damage the print. 

 

 

Do not stop the laminator before the item has completely exited from the rear to 
avoid a “dwell line” across the print. 

 

 

Do not clean or service the laminator before disconnecting the power supply.
