After the machine is loaded with
¿
lm (see
B. Loading Film: 1” Mandrel) and threaded
(see C. Threading the Film), it is ready to
laminate. Ensure that the laminator has
reached the preset temperature. This will
be indicated by the ready light being illu-
minated. Place document on the feedtable
and align with the feedguide to assure
straight and even lamination. Start the mo-
tor with the “Start” button and adjust the
speed as necessary. If necessary, adjust
the supply roll tension (see E. Supply Roll
Tension Adjustment). With both hands,
guide the document into the throat of the
laminator. While the document is pulled
into the laminating rollers, keep document
À
at on the feedtable while applying a slight
back pressure. As the document exits the
rear rollers, allow 3” to 6” of
¿
lm to clear the rollers at the end of your document and turn the motor switch
to stop. Using the hand held cutter, hold tension on the laminated document and slice through the
¿
lm to
release the document. Multiple documents can be run successfully if desired and cut at a later time.

Top and bottom supply rolls should have about the same tension. By turning the top roll with one hand,
and the bottom roll with the other hand, it can be determined if one of the rolls is tighter than the other.
Note
Note: Too much tension can destroy
¿
lm,
documents, and damage the machine.
Adjust the tension to the minimum amount
required. Do this by loosening the tension
knobs until there is no tension on the
¿
lm.
With the machine threaded and at operat-
ing temperature, turn the motor switch to
forward and adjust the speed to the de-
sired operating speed. Tighten the adjust-
ing knobs only until the wrinkles in the
¿
lm
are removed.
