When a roll of film comes to an end, you don’t need to repeat the entire loading process to reload the
laminator.
1. Cut off the film near the idler bar. TAKE EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO DAMAGE THE ROLLERS!
2. Load the new roll of film onto the mandrel.
3. Pull the film through and lay it against the old film which is laid over the roller. Allow the machine
to heat, then stick the layers together.
4. Select the motor mode required if available - foot switch control or continuous. Turn on the motor,
and let the film be pulled through the rollers. You are now ready to laminate!

Step 4
If installed, switch the laminator to `foot’ control
mode and set the speed control to a low speed.
Take the plastic load plate and position it in the nip
of the rollers. Press the foot switch or turn on the
speed control, and push the load plate gently into
the machine. The rollers will grip the load plate and
pull it, and the film, through the laminator. Allow it to
pass through the rollers and exit the back, then cut
it free. The film can easily be peeled from it.
Ensure
that the top and bottom rolls are aligned, to avoid
adhesive contacting the rollers.
Step 5
The brake pressure can be increased slightly to help the film run straight. Excessive brake pressure
may cause problems - make sure you can always easily turn the rolls of film with one hand. For more
information, see the machine tuning section. The initial wrinkles from loading will quickly pull straight,
and the film will look even and clear. Excess wrinkles or too much tension required to pull out
wrinkles may indicate faulty or poor quality film.
Always test laminate some scrap paper before comitting valuable work to be laminated.
