Remove the cardboard box and foam.  Place the unit 
in a well-lit, dust-free area where the floor of the work 
area is level.  The laminator should not be located near 
open flames or high heat, such as heat registers, stoves 
or ovens.  The location of the laminator should not 
interfere with proper ventilation.

3. Remove the roller bracket thumbscrews and open 
the roller brackets (see Fig 2 and Fig 3). 

4. Take one of the silicone rubber rollers and slide a 
bushing onto each of its rods. Next, place this silicone 
rubber roller in the roller brackets with the long end of 
the roller containing the plastic gear pointing to the 
right. 

NOTE:  Make sure that the bushings are tight 

against roller cores and that the bushing 
shoulder is sitting inside of the roller 
brackets

5. Slide a bushing onto the other silicone rubber roller. 
Place this silicone rubber roller on top of the other 
silicone rubber roller that is already in the roller 
brackets. Be sure that the plastic gears are lined up on 
the right side. 

6. The top metal roller goes in last.  Slide the 
aluminum gear into the motor belt on the left and then 
place the top metal roller on top of the middle silicone 
rubber roller. The plastic gears on the top, middle and 
bottom rollers should align with each other on the 
right hand side. 

7. Close the roller brackets and screw in the two 
thumbscrews until they are snug.  Do not over tighten 
or the threads may become stripped. 

8. Attach the scraper bar with the remaining two 
thumbscrews and tighten until they are snug. 

9. Close the lacquer container.
