Carefully unwrap the shrink wrap from around
the laminator.

  CAUTION

Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument

during installation or while servicing the

laminator. You can cause irreparable damage

to the rolls.

3.

 

Carefully remove any accessories packed with
the laminator. The accessory pack should
contain:

1 Set, hex wrenches
1 Slitting knife
1 Manual
1 Set, spare fuses
1 Tape measure
1 Roll of masking tape
1 Rubber cement eraser
1 Air line quick-couple connector, female
4 Leveling pads

4.

 

Have the laminator rolled off the skid and placed
on the floor by licensed riggers. The ramps
included with the laminator can be secured to the
edge of the crate bottom using the screws left
over from the crate disassembly (see Figure 2-2).
