I. Unpacking
Remove the laminator from its box by grasping the housings and pulling up. Do not use rollers or shafts
as handles - this could cause damage. Choose a location for the laminator that is clean, well-lit and draft
free. Make sure it is not in the path of any fans, room air conditioners, or positioned too close to the wall.
The laminator comes to you ready to load the
¿
lm onto the supply mandrels, thread the
¿
lm through the
machine, and install the feedtable.

Laminating
¿
lm is made up of two layers: a glossy layer which gives the lamination its strength, clarity and
rigidity, and a dull or matte side which is heat activated and serves as the “glue” to bond the
¿
lm to the
product being laminated. Once heated, small amounts of the “glue” side can stick to the heat shoes and
rollers and must be periodically cleaned from the laminator.
Laminating
¿
lm is available in a variety of different lengths, and thicknesses. The Muliseal II Laminator
is designed to use 1.5 mil (#150), and 3 mil (#300),
¿
lm thicknesses.

A. Control Panel
A. Control Panel
The control panel is located on the left side of the laminator. This panel is used to control the various
machine functions listed below.
Display (O,P)
Display (O,P)
The display of the Laminator will show the 3 different parameters of the machine: temperature, speed, and
usage counter. The default display mode is usage counter. If the machine is not yet up to temperature, the
machine will display the set point temperature. When the machine reaches the set point temperature, the
usage counter will be displayed. If the speed is adjusted, the machine will momentarily display the speed
and then quickly return to usage counter mode. The “Display” button allows you to toggle between any
of the 3 settings for the display.

The “On/Off” button turns the machine on.

The temperature controls are the “Temp Up” and “Temp Down” buttons (yellow blocks). These buttons
are used to adjust the temperature currently displayed. The temperature displayed is the temperature set
point. This is the temperature that the machine will reach and hold. The temperature can be increased or
decreased in 1° increments by pressing and releasing the up or down button. To rapidly increase or de-
crease the temperature, press and hold the button. When the machine reaches the set point temperature,
the Ready light (green) will illuminate, and a two second beep will sound. If a signi
¿
cant change in the
set point temperature occurs, the Wait light (red) illuminates until the laminator reaches the new set point
temperature. At this time the Ready light will illuminate again. Note: depending on room conditions and
desired set point, it will take between 20 and 30 minutes for the ready indicator to come on.
