1. Remove the supply roll mandrel and the feed tray. The supply roll mandrel is
now ready to accept loading of the PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) material.
Slide a roll of film onto the top supply roll mandrel, turning the roll slightly to slide
the gripper inside the core. Center the roll. Make sure the adhesive side of the
film is facing upwards.
2. Center the roll on the mandrel and place the mandrel in the top brackets. This
is a job best done with two people, even if the roll of film is not very heavy. With
a person holding each end of the mandrel, it is easy to put both notch fittings into
their respective brackets. Make sure they are both fully seated. Attempting to
load the PSA material on the laminator by yourself may result in a back strain or
other injury.
3. For easier threading use a scrap paper leader or release paper from the
bottom supply roll, preferably the same width or wider than the PSA you are
applying. Open laminating rollers and slide the paper through, leaving just
enough paper to tack onto the leading edge of your PSA material.
