AUTOMATIC REVERSE FEATURE

Use the automatic reverse feature if laminating film gets
wrapped around the rubber roller. Proper care and attention
during operation minimizes the need for the use of the
reverse feature. However if a “wrap-around” does occur 
follow these instructions.

NOTE:

Excessive film wrap around will cause 

equipment damage.

Remove the feed tray and cut the film web top 
and bottom where it wraps around the idler bars. 

Firmly grasp the film web. 
Be careful to stay clear of the hot heat shoes. 

Turn the speed control knob to a slow speed 
and depress the reverse switch. Slowly back 
the film out of the laminator. 

When clear, reload the laminating film.

WARNING:

Never use a sharp object to cut laminating 

film on the rubber rollers. Any damage to the rollers will
leave a permanent impression on the lamination and 
require roller replacement.  

NOTE: 

To assist in removing jammed film, you can 

release the roller pressure. Rotate the roller lift knobs 
counterclockwise and remove film. Reset the pressure.

Grasp the cut film and gently pull as the 

laminator runs in reverse at a very slow speed.
