Laminating
After the machine is threaded (see “Loading Film on 1” Supply Shafts”) and threaded (see
“Threading the Laminator”), it is ready to laminate. Ensure that the laminator has reached the
preset temperature as indicated on the thermometer. The temperature should never be
allowed to go over 275F and, in the cases of some film, should be lower. Always consult the
film manufacturer for the correct melt temperature. Place document on the feed table and
align with the feed guide to assure straight and even lamination. Start the motor with the
“Fwd” button and if necessary, adjust the supply roll tension (see E. Supply Roll Tension
Adjustment). With both hands, guide the document into the throat of the laminator. While the
document is pulled into the laminating rollers, keep document flat on the feed table while
applying a slight back pressure. Also, be certain the film/paper is exiting the laminator, other a
“wrap-around” may occur. As the document exits the rear rollers, allow 3” to 6” of film to clear
the rollers at the end of your document and turn the motor switch to stop. Using the hand held
cutter, hold tension on the laminated document and slice through the film to release the
document. Multiple documents can be run successfully if desired and cut at a later time.
