9.
During use watch the film exit to ensure film is
not drawn back into exit to prevent film wraps.
Note:
Continuously feeding similar size media in
the same location will create a wear spot. Mixing
up the feeding location will give heat rollers longer
life.
CLEARING A JAM
Film jams may occur if the laminator is not
positioned to allow exiting film to drop freely to
the floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits the
laminator may cause film to wrap around the

they will damage the heat rollers.
Do not force items into the nip area of the

laminate.
Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to
