Fig. 6-18. Threading Card Inserted Into the Film.

Press the 

RUN

 button on the control panel.

Move the roller pressure handle so that it applies 
pressure to the threading card and guide the 
card into the machine until the rollers pull it on its 
own. 

 

WARNING: 

Keep your fingers and hands away 

from the nip point while the machine is running. 
They could be trapped and crushed in the rollers. 
Clothing, jewelry, and long hair could be caught in 
the rollers and pull you into them.

Release the card and ensure that both films and 
card are being pulled into the laminator.  
The card will guide the film into the rollers.

After the threading card exits the laminator, set 
the roller pressure handle to 

Release.

Press the 

STOP

 button.

Separate the release liner from the card.

Pull the film up to the take-up core and tape it to 
the core.

Replace the safety shield and feed table. 
Refer to Safety 

Shield Removal and Installation and 

Feed Table Removal and Installation in this section.

Check the film alignment and adjust the tension 
as needed. 
See the 

Film Alignment section in this chapter.

Webbing PSA Films

Refer to the 

Configuration for PSA Film 

section in this 

chapter for the proper configuration.

Fig. 6-19. Configuration for Poly-in or Poly-out PSA Films.

Pull the top film down, thread it under the idler 
bar, and pull the film back up to the take-up core.

Lightly tape both corners of the film to the  
take-up core. 

Turn the take-up one full turn. 
Ensure that the film is pulled evenly and that no 
bulges exist at either end of the idler bar.

Using a very sharp utility knife, lightly score the 
laminating film approximately 4 in (10 cm) above 
the upper pressure roller.  
Be careful to not cut through the release liner.

Pull the laminating film away from the liner and 
drape it over the front of the pressure rollers so 
that it extends a little past the bottom of the top 
pressure roller. 

Fig. 6-20. Top Film Draped Over the Pressure Rollers and 

Release Liner Attached to Take-up. 

Pull the mounting film (or kraft paper) up to 
about even with the top of the top pressure roller 
without touching the sticky laminating film.
