THREADING THE FILM
Refer to threading diagram for one side lamination found on the machine’s right side panel. Do not
mistake the reinforcing bar for the idler roller.
1. To thread the film through the “hot” rollers & “pull” rollers, please push the handle forward to release
pressure on all the rollers. Insert the handle pin into the farthest notch to lock the handle in place.
2. Push the film through the rollers with a threading card.
3. Make sure the film is correctly threaded based on the threading guide. A threading diagram is also
located on the right side panel of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE & SPEED
1. Turn on the power switch. The digital screen display will show the previous temperature setting.
2. Turn off the “BOTTOM ROLLER HEATER” switch.
3. Adjust the temperature to the recommended setting below by pressing the “TEMP/SET” “
︿
” or “
﹀
”
arrow keys. The lowest thermal temperature this machine can be set is 80°C (176°F). The digital
screen display will show the set temperature for 3 seconds before showing the actual temperature.
4. Once the temperature is set, press the “HOT” key to start the heating process and the heater light will
turn on. Once the set temperature is achieved and roller temperature is stabilized, the machine will
start beeping and the ready light will turn on. Once the ready light stays on, you can set the
recommended speed.
5. Press the “MOTOR” “

” or “

” arrow keys to set the motor speed. The following table gives some
common temperature/speed setting for typical uses.

6. Turn on the rear fans to prevent the film from bunching in the back of the machine.
7. After each pass of the laminated material, make sure to regularly check the film in the back for
bunching as film without any laminated material will tend to cling onto the back rollers and cause this
problem due to static. For best results, check back roller after every pass.
LAMINATING PROCEDURES
1. Release the handle from the locked position and insert the handle pin into the “MIN” notch to
engage the rollers. The user can now start as the machine starts feeding in film.
2. To put the lamination temporarily on hold without turning off the machine, the user can release
the handle and reinsert in any of the notches from 3/16” and higher. This will separate the rollers
and stop the motor from feeding more film.
3. Pull the handle back to the “MIN” setting to reengage the rollers and resume the lamination job.
